  1. Sold. Thanks to all who bid. I have another 2600 that I'll be restoring in the next month. @hizzy, I'll be sure to expand shipping to include Canada in the future.
  2. Sold: The fun is back with this clean modded 4-switch Woody with composite out and Amber LED power mod. Comes with three classic games, one working CX-40, Retrobit replacement power supply and composite cables. Bidding starts at a very reasonable $50. (Fifty bucks?) Now, isn't that nice?!
  3. Looking for a fully working Samsung 910MP in good cosmetic condition. These are 19", standard definition, 4:3 montior/TV combos from that sweet spot in time where LCDs and analog signals got along. Would prefer remote.
  4. For me, the worst Jaguar game is Checkered Flag. The game is just a complete mess. Even Supercross 3D is more enjoyable. This is such a well worn topic though. We all know that Checkered Flag, Club Drive, Double Dragon V, Supercross 3D, and WMCJ are the bottom rung of the Jaguar library. Although, I will say that WMCJ can be fun with a teamtap, three friends and a few IPAs.
  5. 1. My childhood 2600 was a Coleco Gemini. 2. I never call the 2600 a VCS. Before "2600" was on the Vader my family just called it "the Atari." Then Atari Corp. cemented it as the 2600 with their award winning commercials. 3. I repair Atari consoles in my free time and give them to friends and colleagues in an attempt to spread the disease of Atari collecting to my circle. It's beginning to work. 4. I enjoy playing Atari Pac-Man on the black & white setting.
  6. I agree with you, its not for me. Like I said, this is a great option for casual fans. In fact, I know two people that I'll probably get this for. Its not for collectors or people with an interest in having the ability to go deeper into the library via an SD card or multicart. Personally, I have a strong preference for real hardware, accessories and software. Even with the 2600, I passed on the FB units in favor of a modded console and Harmony cart. I've limited the physical collection to the games I had as a kid plus a few homebrews. For the NES, I already have a small handful of carts and accessories that I want to hang onto. The AVS and the PowerPak or Everdrive will let me fill in the gaps without taking up much more space. Its all about how you want to experience the games.
  7. I think that this is a great plug n' play for casual fans. Its cheap, the game selection is excellent and HDMI is a big plus. That said, the inability to use real controllers/accessories and the lack of cart port or SD slot is a deal breaker for me. I plan on picking up an AVS from retroUSB as soon as they're available.
  8. This. Mine had the same problem on a newer TV. You have to set to composite or it will be B&W.
  9. He bought the molds from SoCal Mike after the Chameleon fiasco. I believe that he confirmed it himself in the epic Chameleon thread.
  10. Weird. I don't think any of mine have those. It's been about a year since I've opened one up though.
  11. That's a steal, Clint, if just for the rental case. Any idea what the jumpers on the board are for? None of mine have wires. Maybe the original owner tried a mod of some sort?
  12. YES! YES! YES! Great news. As someone who has is happily enjoying the Lynx SD card, I am very much looking forward seeing this project come to fruition.
  13. Does your city have a bike-share? Have you used it?

      My sister uses it quite regularly (Hamburg, Germany), for it's free for the first 30 minutes.

      I saw some outside our bike shop just the other day, so it would appear our town is trying it. I ride for fun but rarely to run errands, unless it's something close.

  14. I played a longer game last night and really enjoyed it. Here are a few impressions: + The difficulty level is challenging but manageable + The between level shop/upgrade system + The music is mesmerizing + Dead ends are as frustrating here as they are in real life, but that's why we have reverse. The ability to go backwards adds an unique element to the game - Stutter at initial level loading screen - Highscore resets after power down I also wanted to say that the packaging is above and beyond on this one. It really approaches retail quality. Thanks to all involved in putting this together. It is easily the second best vertical shooter on the Jaguar.
  15. I got my copy today and took it for a quick spin before heading to a family graduation. I am not familiar with the ST or Amiga versions so I don't know how this compares to those, but I found it quite tough. Looking forward to playing for real on Sunday.
  16. A copy of standard Battlesphere just sold for $1526 on eBay. I can't recall of the standard cart ever going so high. CRAZY.
  17. I just got mine in the mail today. I was able to upgrade to 1.6 and I'm happily exploring the Lynx games that I don't have in my physical collection. Thanks for making this awesome cart, SainT! If/when you do a Jag cart, count me in!
  18. A multicart of some of these classic conversions would be cool. If I have to pick one it would be Gauntlet II.
  19. The refresh button and "follow topic" are powerful tools.
  20. Unfortunately, none of the titles on the ITD sales report appear on the titles in development list from August of '95. We would need an earlier titles in development report to see the true margins on most released titles. For me, the titles in development list is interesting because it shows how much was invested in high profile licenses like Iron Man, Batman Forever and Mortal Kombat 3; titles that never really came to fruition. Compare this to what Atari Corp. spent on Zoop, Baldies or Defender 2000. I would have taken fifteen more released games like Skyhammer, IS2 or Phase Zero for the money they wasted on those cancelled titles.
  21. Email sent this afternoon. Thanks for making this available again.
