  1. Oh, it'll happen, don't worry....if nothing else I won't give away how MUCH I am bidding but you have a guaranteed good bid from me! :D

     

    Lol, honestly it's been a while since I did a 7 day listing. I kinda forgot that they all start so slow. :) Imagine if it stays at $11.50? Oh well, you win some you lose some. :)

     

    LOL... if it stayed there I would be happy, but the final 1 minute will decide... I doubt you will get anything less than $200.


  2. Hey! I feel cheated... I came in here expecting to see a Giant Cebus like the title indicates... but you are only a normal sized Cebus! :ponder:

     

    Oh yeah, I also have a CIB Amiga 1000. If you are interested, drop me a PM. :D


  3. I'm not a Commodore 64 collector so I don't have a clue how common or rare this game is and what price it could fetch. So make me an offer via PM if interested. The box is a little rough with a few wrinkles and scuffs as well as a small tear on the back, but is still useable. Cartridge and manual are in excellent shape.

     

    Unfortunately Clowns is the E.T. or Combat of the C64 world.


  4. Black ?canvas? material, it looks almost like a camcorder bag, it has a handle, it has the Dreamcast logo on it - it's hard to find a pic of it anywhere right now for some reason?

     

    PM me if you have one for sale or can get one - new if possible.

     

    Are you talking about this bag or the one that looks like a duffel bag?

  5. I'm looking for an A520 adapter to hook my Amiga 500 up to my TV. The Australian guy save2600 posted doesn't have any for sale ATM and I really need something to hook this Miggy up and goof around with this HxC floppy emulator!

     

    I have the RGB cable for the video, so I can get it to a SCART end. Could I also possibly use a SCART to composite or component converter? Wait, no, I don't. Can't find it. So I would need a video cable for the Amiga anyway if I get a monitor.

     

    EDIT: I need a monitor anyhow so I think I will be looking for a 1084S. I could still use the 520 but it's not a priority, as I need the monitor for my C128 as well.

     

    So let's say total here's what I need: an A520 adapter for the meantime, and a 1084S monitor and video cable for the A500 long-term.

     

    Pssst.... psssst.... over here!


  6. The thermal printer is pretty common (about an R6)... not as common as the data recorder (about an R3), but still readily available. What is hard to find ar the spare rolls of Aquarius brand thermal paper (about an R8) for it, though any aluminized thermal paper will work.

     

    The Aquarius printer that is insanely rare is the 4 color printer/plotter (about an R10).

     

    Even though the Aquarius has nothing to do with the Intellivision, the Aquarius Printer and data recorder can both work with the Intellivision ECS as Tempest and Jay have said.

     

    Psauare, I may have a spare printer cable for you, I'll dig around in my bottomless closet to see... if not, they are easy to build.


  7. That's not the original box? I wouldn't know... that's the one I was given when I bought it. Evidently it was sold at a Montgomery Ward. I don't know why they show a woodgrain Astrocade on the front of it but there's a white Astrocade inside.

     

    I'll take your offer into consideration.

     

    Yeah that is not the box that goes with that particular unit. I bet the previous owner found that box to make it look like a complete set. That isn't too big of a deal, but it would be like getting a sunnyvale heavy sixer in a sears box.


  8. Also, some of the cartridges require you to have an additional 4k or 16k ram cartridge, and the mini-expander has a second slot for the memory expansion. I would recommend a mini-expander to any Aquarius owner as the benefits are well worth it for this limited computer system.

     

    The other Aquarius accessory that I would recommend that is indispensable, is the data recorder. There were far more games and other programs released on tape than were ever released on cartridge for the Aquarius.


  9. I've been looking through the material in the Intellivision Lives! collection, and it actually refers to Aquarius BurgerTime as being "unreleased." This puzzled me, since there are obviously BurgerTime cartridges floating around out there, but perhaps it means that it was never released by Mattel. There could have been a limited number of cartridges manufactured by Mattel but sold later by Radofin, after Mattel handed over the Aquarius rights and merchandise.

     

    Interestingly, Aquarius BurgerTime is mentioned ("coming soon!") at the end of the

    and
    BurgerTime commercials.

     

    Burgertime was not released in solo form, but only as a pack in cartridge in the "Family Pack" which included the Aquarius Computer, Mini Expander, 16k Memory Cart, and four random games (I have a few :D ). So even if you purchased this Family Pack, you only had about a 25% chance of getting Burgertime. I is very difficult to find, so I'd rank it about a R8. Chess, Zero In and Melody Chase are even more difficult to find and would be more akin to R9 or R10

     

    As for Nightstalker. It is the most common of all commons for the Aquarius... as someone else said, think of it as the E.T or Combat of the Aquarius world.
