    -Duke Nukem 3D had a good port to the Saturn, as did Quake and Hexen (Doom not so much)

    -Alien Trilogy

    -Astal

    -NiGHTS

    -Command and Conquer! This game is a classic!

    -Powerslave

    -Panzer Dragoon Zwei (Saga is good too, but luck finding it under $180)

    -Burning Rangers

    -House of the Dead (of coarse)

    -Bomberman (get the multi tap!)

    -Street Fighter Alpha 2

     

    EDIT:

    Oh yeah, be sure to pick up an action replay cartridge if you plan on playing any imports or desire extra memory.

    Usually when I see these kind of idiotic auctions I just roll my eyes, and im not one to usually be mean, but being an avid Intv collector.. I had to send him a message:

     

    "Haha, these are so scarce that I have four master components (1 system I, 2 system II's, and one system III) TWO boxed computer modules ($25 each) a boxed synth ($25) and TWO boxed system changers ($50 each)

     

    I am sorry to be the barer of bad news, but your collection here is only worth between $125 to $200, and you would be lucky to get that.

     

    Also, the Synthensizer and ECS were sold at Toys R Us, Wolworth, and Sears between 83-86' going from around $50 to $24 each (the price stickers are still on my boxes)

    Also, it has not been 30-40 years since you have used these.. the first Intv was released tail end of 79', and these components were released end of 83'.

     

    But hey, if you happen to get anywere near what you asking, let me know, because that would mean my collection is worth $6000.

    I voted yes/good, but only under one circumstance:

    You must have played and or owned it on the original hardware first.

     

    IE, dont review an Atari 2600 games via emulation, if you have not fully played the games on an actual VCS 2600.

     

    etschuetz,

     

    I understand what your trying to say and all. I doubt you pissed off any fan boy of either system so much as stating incorrect information about the two systems. It would be a good idea to do a little more research about the two, and play some of the better games made for the two systems.

     

    Try Thunder Castle or Tower of Doom for Intellivision. It may change your perspective on the system.

    Or try any arcade port on Coleco!

     

    For me, none of the 3 systems could come out on top. They are all different, they are all best. They all have their disadvantages, and their advantages.

    I collect more for the Intellivision, and aim to have a complete collection, where as Atari, I have several different models. And Coleco, with the Adam Computer and 2600 expansion :D Love em all!

    I have been wanting a 5200 for some time now, but every time I spot one there is a problem, broken controller, missing "game box" if its 4 port (which is what I prefer), or if it is in good shape, they happen to have the box (which I dont really need) and want way too much for it.

     

    So if anyone has one, or any tips, let me know!

    Thanks :D

     

    *EDIT*

    Oops. I didn't realize but I placed this in Auction Central, thought I was in wanted :|

    Someone move me please? :P

     

     

    See my post in auction central...should be in marketplace. Atari 5200 with 47 carts and TWO working switch boxes for $300 or BO.

     

    Sorry, not looking to spend that much. My limit is preferably $100 or less including ship.

    Atari 2600: Jungle Hunt. I was always impressed by the multiple scrolling back ground, and the amount of screens, all of which had their own game play.

     

    Atari 7800: DK. Not saying its the best looking game on they system, I was however impressed that this adaptation was even better looking than the one on Colecovision.

     

    Intellivision: Thunder Castle! This game definitely pushed the Intv to the limit. It has a great title, three beautifully detailed screens, each with their own very detailed intermissions. Not to mention classical renditions for in game music!

     

    NES: Kirbys Dreamland, just because of how colorful it was. Really showed off the NES's impressive (for the time) color pallet.

     

    GameBoy: Donkey Kong Land.

     

    SNES: Donkey Kong Country, hands down! At the time, people were quite suprised that amount of animation and color could be brought to the system.

     

    SNES Mode7: Super Mario Kart.

     

    SNES SuperFX: Star Fox, Back when polygons and 3D rail shooters were unheard of on the home console, this was the selling point of the SNES.

     

    SNES SuperFX2: Doom! I was always amazed the Williams was able to bring such an amazing port of Doom to the SNES, even with the help of SuperFX2. It may have chugged along at just enough framerates, and just enough resolution to be considered playable, but unlike the horrid Sega 32X version, the SNES included all original graphics, great musical score, all weapons and enemys, and original secrets, and all three episodes with the correct boss stages.

     

    N64: Turok 2. This game had some pretty impressive graphics for its time, even by todays standards, the game still looks good. Not to mention it introduced new innovative multiplay, and well.. the cerebral bore :D

     

    GBA: Doom II, Duke Nukem Advance, and F-Zero GX

     

    Saturn: NiTES

     

    Dream Cast: Shenmue. I was blown away the first time I seen that level of realism. Hard to believe its almost 10 years old already :|

    The ones I dont like are the ones that say untested,but then you look at thier ongoing auctions and thier selling the connectors in a seperate auction/which I would equate as stupid on thier part.

     

    Haha, speaking of which, I was looking at Jaguars, and one guy had one that said just that: "Cannot test it, as I do not have the av or power adapters", yet one listing under the Jag, why, that looks like he's selling, *GASP*, av and a power adapter for a Jag?

     

    Thanks for the tips. I'm going to try to get one from this community if its possible, before looking at eBay anymore.

    If the machine is for sale at a swap meet or garage sale I would not trust the deal, they probably know it is broken and just want your money. IF the machine is for sale over the internet then go for it! You can always trust online sellers because only decent hardworking people have the internet....any crook can have a yard sale.

    Wp

     

     

    wow my thoughts are exact opposite if you buy one from a garage sale or yard sale and it doesnt work it will be thrown through their front window at midnight

     

    Lol!

    I probably should not buy one on eBay then, most of them seem skiddish with "No rf adapter", and "AS IS"...

    I'll post up in the wanteds... Thanks :)

    Ive been shopping for a 5200, but one thing I seem to see a lot is "Everything is here, I just dont have the RF switch to test it so its AS IS".

     

    How many of you have bought a system with such a statement, but it actually worked? Because to me that means, "The system is broken, so im just saying that I dont have an RF switch."

    Am I mistaken?

     

    How risky is it :?

     

    I really want one because I have a 2600, 7800, 400, and 1200XL, and ive been very curious of it. It seems I have been missing out.

    The controllers are such a personal issue... people either love them or hate them. I love them, and I firmly believe that a lot more people would like them if they gave them time to get used to them (still some people won't like them, that's fine). They were poorly constructed from a reliability standpoint, but there are modern solutions to fix all that. I think it's a fantastic system and can hold its own with any other console of the era.

     

    Haha, I feel the same way about the Intv controllers.

     

    The 5200 is a good system. Most of the negatives are the size, and joystick failure. But those are easily overlooked by the systems great games and graphics.

    What about the episode of Futurama with the "Space Invaders", which also features Donkey Kong.

    There is also an episode of Family Guy with Pac Man, the ghosts mention going to Q*Berts house. (A maid also pulls a Colecovision out of his belly button in another episode)

    Then in South Park, the imagination land episode has Q*Bert in it.

     

    Why are the 2600 DK and PacMan sounds still used to this day for any game representation? I dont understand it.

    It suer doesn't look as pretty but it plays nicely.

     

    Oh, I totally agree with you there! I wasnt saying it was bad, because I have spent good time playing it! I guess saying failed miserably was a little harsh :P

     

    It seems I was also mistaken about my copy of Robot Tank.. I played that last night for about a half hour, only dying into the 4th day! The reason I got mixed up is because I gave my mother an Atari Flashback 2, which I played on last time I was over there, and I was playing Battle Zone :|

    I stand corrected.

    Great collection. I really like that white one. The red one is pretty nice too.

    I myself have the Sonic Blue one. Someone stole most of my games though :( I am left with Sonic, Taz, and Lion King.

     

    As for the other colors, probably not ever produced.

    Like 16bit said, probably photoshop or custom.

    Most companies were leary about marketing to girls back when. There was even a lot of debate before Sony released a pink psp.. not that most gaming chicks would want girly pink, they are usually a lot cooler than that ;)
