I have looked long and hard for one of these in order to get fullest enjoyment out of Robotron 2084 and Space Dungeon. Usually priced at something ridiculous like $25-$30. I scored mine with two used controllers for $15. Nice. Now, I can't wait to enjoy my games the way they were meant to be played.

That power brick with the power cord coming out may not be a loss. Have you plugged it in and tried it yet? Might just need the strain relief super glued back into position.

I'm not in the know on rarity, but these are some I have picked up recently that seemed to be not so common. Tapper Illusions Choplifter

There's a guy in England making them and selling on ebay. See here. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 270755413641

Like Megamania, currently listed at a rarity of 3. I have been searching for this game for some time and there has only been one copy on ebay for about 3 months now, priced at $25-$30 range. Compare it to Blueprint, also listed at an Atari Age rarity of 3. There are currently 8 copies of Blueprint on ebay. Prices start at $5. What gives?

Another PM sent.

Was it a yard sale find in that condition?

Would you do onesy-twosy orders for replacement cartridge face/end labels for 2600, 5200, Colecovision, Genesis, NES, and SNES game cartridges? I have some, especially Parker Bros. 2600, 5200 and Colecovision carts, that need replacement labels. Please let me know. Thanks. TZ

Hmmm, what an inventive person could do with a little superglue...

16.2v is kind of high for gaming bricks. If I try my Genesis or Jaguar bricks, they are rated at 9-12. I think the limits with under-voltage power supplies is possibly spotty performance or video output. Oh well, maybe I'll scour the thrift bins.

Can any others like Genesis, SNES, or Master System power bricks be substituted? Also, what is the polarity? Thanks.

^ Thanks.

Is that a combo tape/game cartridge? The article shows that image, but really says nothing about it after that.

Are they easy to find? I just bought a set that does not come with one.

Are there any like me that own so many systems and games it is often difficult to decide what and when to play these? That is really an issue that is difficult to decide. With work and college, Church and family, I have not so much free time. Then, factor in that I have every system short of 3DO, Turbografx, Odyssey 2, Arcadia 2001 and Bally Astrocade. Any good suggestions? Do I do eeny, meeny, miny, mo? I have collected for so long and would actually like to play some of them now. Decisions like this can be tough...

Give some details on the trade. What rare games did you get in return?

^ Would this work for the 5200 using two Masterplay adapters. It would be sweet with Space Dungeon and Robotron on 5200.

Bump... Someone has to have one they will sell.

Someone modded it before you bought it at the flea market.

Even if you have to pick up a RFU cable and adaptor, don't wait another day. Reactor, Fast Eddie and Jedi Arena are middling to rare games and the Vader looks clean. You can resell those 7800 controllers on epay for ~$20 and recoup half your money.

The Wico joysticks have small, proprietary potentiometers, much like the 5200 stock controllers. Two Wico sticks and a "Y" cable came with my 5200 bought at a yard sale and I wad excited. Until I got home and found out the joysticks did not register any horizontal or vertical movement. I even took the pots apart and sprayed electronic contact cleaner inside. No dice. The pots can be found at some guitar manufacturer's website, as they are still used for something to do with electric guitars, but the last time I looked they were priced crazy at something like $30 a piece. Considering 2 pots per controller x 2 controllers and you can see why my Wico controllers are still inoperative. If I bought them in that condition, they would be going back for a full refund. I only paid $10 for my complete system and some games at that yard sale, so was not complaining about my defective Wico sticks.

Prodos8 makes one for around $20 that is excellent and reasonably priced IMHO.
