    ah ok I should have read a bit more.

    And what I said about the "kids" at work not understanding, I meant the whole idea of the binary display on a 2600 in the first place.

    I told them, "you don't understand, 128 BYTES of ram, 1/8K .000125MB .000000125GB, and it looks and plays good!

    I want to see this sold (only for the price of cartridge production rather than the value of the code, of course) as a 9 volume cartridge set, each one with one world on it. And I want each cartridge to say 'insert world 4' or whatever when you warp or finish the world. It's a packaging opportunity!

     

    Super awesome BTW!

    Or on a CD (Or actual cassettes) as a multi load for Supercharger!

    Then you could assemble them together for use on harmony.

    the starman power.

    How about changing the background color slightly, not flashing anything.

    Looking back on this comment, are you talking about when he has the star power? That's actually a pretty cool idea. I wonder how it'd look. Maybe I should try it.

    Yes, only when it is active, maybe pale yellow...

    I can tell you what is inside, with a 99% certainty. There is an EPROM board from Apollo in there, either a AP-2000 with 2 x 2716 EPROM's (unlikely) or marked AP-2001 with a 2732 EPROM, which probably doesn't even have the window(s) covered (Same board is used in Lochjaw! Yes, Lochjaw is an EPROM game, just like Chase The Chuckwagon is). I would bet money on that. ;) If there isn't, it is 100% a homebrew hackjob, ala Hozer or Gamma Attack (I nearly fainted when I opened the original Gamma Attack). I bet Hozer made the label. LOL

     

    Here is an image of a AP-2001 (this one came out of TXCSM, Halloween uses the same one):

    EDIT: Another thing, if the cart shell does not say Apollo on the back, there is no screw in this cart at all!

    So, if you wanted to make a fake old cart, that would be a good case and board to use... Just askin'

    To me, I will be much more certain that the current 2 holders believe them to be from the 1980s when they sell one. If someone knowingly did a hoax, worth as much $$ as this would be, I would be shocked. But just if neither sells does not mean they are intentionally misrepresenting it. If I had it, I would want to keep it as well. (unless it was worth stoopid money to me, where I would have to be stooopid to not sell it)

    Ea

    That would explain the discrepancy in labels....the nicer repro was printed on a new printer, so no offset shadows.... :ponder:

     

    Where would he get a better image than nagn2's?

    Easy the 2nd time he made one to match the ad that he found, he got better at it ;-)

    Too bad nobody works in industrial or medical imaging. You could flouroscope it to see inside without opening it. I wonder if you could sonogram it. I would love to know if they are mask rom or eprom, is there an inverter chip...
