  1. Nice auction. Personally, I don't have anything newer than the original Game Boy. I just recently picked up a Rockman (looks kind of like Megaman - Japanese or something I guess) for the original Game Boy. By chance do you have any idea of it's rarity?? Either way, it's definately a difficult game to get good at.


  2. Here we go:

     

    Colecovision

     

    Frogger II

    Burgertime

    Smurf

    Antarctic Adventure

     

     

    $4 CDN Value Village last night!!!!!

     

    If anybody out there has a spare CV Tapper or Congo Bongo, please sell or trade it to me.


  3. I actually don't have any yet. I am now quite excited that I can play any 8 bit game on my XEGS. I have to start looking now.

     

    I also have something strange happening with my XEGS. When I turn it on I just get a red screen. Isn't Missle Command supposed to automatically turn on or something?


  4. I was given one of these along with a box of probably 30 games for the unit. The problem is, I don't any console to use this with. Through basic internet research, I have determined that most of the games are copies of the originals. If anyone who knows more about this stuff, could you please PM me. I am looking to find out what the best console would be to use this system on be it NES Top Load or Famicom or Tri-Star Super 8 etc... I would like to play theses games as they sit in a box most of the time and I would like to have the optimal set up for enjoying these games. Thanks in advance.


  5. There is a guy on the net who tells you how to finish Solaris with maps and everything. He says that you need to reprogram the code so that you have infinite lives in order to finish. I like Solaris but I did not want to spend a decade trying to finish the damn game. That is why I like Radar Lock. You can play one game for 15 to 20 minutes if you are good and that's it. I just don't have that much of an attention span to last for a game like Solaris. Is there an end to Radar Lock?


  6. Yes, they are similar. Whatever dude. I do agree that it seems like Atari's anwer to Sega's Afterburner. I thought that the dynamics of the visual imagery seems to be similar to the Solaris game. I was more trying to say that of the two games, Radar Lock seems a bit easier to play and I actually like that about this game. Does anyone have any tips for playing this game??


  7. What a wicked game. I had been looking for it for a while and NEVER see it on ebay.ca. I found it on the weekend for $1.50 and I must say that I am hooked. Kinda like Solaris but not as impossible to finish. Does anybody agree with me or what?


  8. Hello CV fans.

     

    I thought that since everyone was here, I would ask a related but slightly off topic question. I personally love the look of the CV but everybody knows that it was a flawed design and there are a few problems people have had with the controllers and the static electricity problems with the controller ports. The latter mentioned problem results in the CV automatically starting a game on 2 players and diminished controller response due to the SN74LS541N chips attached to the controller ports being damaged by static electricity.

     

    I have researched this as best as I can and found that there are many solutions for these problems but hardly any testimonials as to whether they have worked for the people who have tried them. My question is: Has anyone tried replacing the SN74LS541N chips to remedy the automatic game select problem? Can anyone tell me whether they have performed the surgery and whether it was successful or a failure?
