  1. Thanks for the links. Very interesting, so the term originated from the early computer industry: In 1995 – three years after Atari's withdrawal of the 2600 from the marketplace – independent developer Ed Federmeyer released another Atari 2600 homebrew project, titled SoundX, a cartridge that demonstrated the sound capabilities of the Atari 2600. Federmeyer used the term "homebrew" to describe this type of hobbyist-driven development, inspired by the California Homebrew Computer Club of early computer enthusiasts that included Apple founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Originally designing the cartridge for his own use, Federmeyer decided to gauge interest among fellow retro game enthusiasts; like Dodgson, Federmeyer advertised his creation on Usenet, ultimately receiving over 50 responses. Following SoundX, Federmeyer created an unlicensed port of the game Tetris, titled Edtris 2600.
  2. No more 7800 cartridges in stock. I will contact Telegames if he get's a re-stock, but I don't think so. 7800 carts are getting rare.
  3. This thread is drug-related, isn't it?
  4. From birth (1981) to now. Is that even possible to guess?
  5. Excellent great story. Thanks for sharing. It's not often you get an inside of the 'whats going on' within gaming companies. Maybe because you and the old ladies tested the Parker games we have a great ratio of good games within the Parker range. Did you know any programmers like Ed Temple or Mark Lesser or Laura Nikolich?
  6. Being a Kylie fan at the time, I had to play Street Fighter The Movie (Street Fighter Real Battle on Film) over and over. Actually, lots of time was spent playing the Street Fighter series.
  7. I once send a heavy gaming load from Germany to Norway, it was very, very expensive for the buyer. Norway is not in the EU, so it was to be expected.
  8. Very true. I think Portfolio is all over the place.
  9. I'm for it. Playstation 1, my most favourite awesome console of the 90s. So many good games, I'll try to find the best I like. SONY PLAYSTATION CONSOLE (PSone) - Video Game Photos from the Room of Doom (digitpress.com) [parasite eve], loved this game, me and my gaming friend played it throughout the night, one's narrating the other controlling. Same with Final Fantasy VII, playing, shouting.....go there, that way, no, get him.....awesome times
  10. Try the Digital Press/Library
  11. Also, 83/84, in USA the C64 /fdd sold oodles, games were like, 'wow the next level' when compared to VCS....And computer games are copyable (bonus). Apple ][ was gaining more sales as well. Atari 800XL came along, the same Activision games looked and played better on computer than VCS, EA had a fantastic line-up of games. And more games came for the IBM, the Juggernaut
  12. Atari VCS games/ stuff is never ending. Mind you I would love the Atari holder behind
  13. There's two ET homebrews on Good Deal Games for sale, they could be ET II, ET III
  14. Yep, he's legit, German company. Ordered from him many of times, quick and fast delivery. Through him I managed to complete my Atari Lynx collection (some items Telegames UK didn't have). His 7800 collection is rapidly getting less, so once they are gone, they won't be refilled. So, never had any problems with this seller.
  15. One of my favourites from the Parker stable.
  16. Somebody should print a Dual Control Module for Spy Hunter.
  17. Can't remember where I've got it from. but it seen better days. The MS Pac Man mobile is from Best Electronics, way back he came to London, UK, selling stuff at an PC exhibition
  18. These? Prom Blaster 8K Eprom Cart from Control Technology Personal Game Prorammeing System (PGP-1) from Answer Software Corp.
  19. And, if I may, the Bridge patch is available from 2600 Connection here on AA. Also well worth getting: 2600 Connection
  20. During Super Bowl XVIII, Apple Computer introduced the Macintosh, the first successful personal computer to use a graphical user interface, with the television commercial "1984". I loved my Mac, good memories.
