    Hey, I need that instructional manual....anybody have one of those for sale??? I already have the cart (did not know there was an instructional manual for this game).

     

    Thanks for hijacking Wonder... :roll:

     

    Though I'm sure I can't "out-pay" someone for the manual.

    I did. Thing is, however, once it's privately owned, it can be resold. It just can't be reproduced for resale. ;)

    Legally you may be right. But there are other laws too.

     

    The "law of the sticker"! :D

     

    Honestly, I just really want one badly. Unfortunately, I don't have enough interesting 2600 stuff to trade for one, otherwise I would.

     

    So, I only have the cash to offer as a "trade". I will trade you this green paper for your Ewok cart and manual... :D

    Pardon? What we're trying to do is remove the nationalistic idea that only US stuff is cool to collect :P

    <claps hands>

     

    I would say that the US stuff isn't necessarily 'cooler to collect', but it does make a great starting point.

     

    If I'm fortunate enough to get a complete (or what would be complete to me) collection of NTSC games, then I would certainly explore PAL.

     

    However, it's much harder living in the US to get a lot of the PAL stuff.

    That's not the one I was thinking of...

     

    I'm pretty sure there was one in a Parker Brothers case with a silver (custom) label.

    Yes, there was a small run of carts made with a spiffy Parker Brothers label (I printed the labels on special die-cut Parker Brothers label sheets). You can read more about it here:

    Hey Al,

     

    Thanks for the info. Any chance another might become available?

    Well, as soon as I receive my Meteorites cart in the mail, my 5200 collection will be complete.

    Except for that damn BBSB. It will take me awhile to get that one. :|

    Maybe the Track and Field loaner cart makes up for it a little. ;)

     

    Very nice! Say, what is that one dead center, near the bottom of the pic? Can't make out the label (Diagnostic??)

     

    Kudos!

    Four questions.

     

    1. Is there any reason this list isn't complete and accurately represented on the AA database here?

     

    2. How many of these (if any) were sold with a box and/or manual?

     

    I would love to try and track down all of these, but don't even know where to start.

     

    3. Are there any of these that are more difficult to locate than others?

     

    It would be nice to really keep my eyes peeled.

     

    4. Finally, can anyone list the occasion (for example, CGE or Philly Classic) with each of the homebrew or conversion releases (if applicable)?

     

    Thanks ALL!

    Do you have a list of what you have already?

     

    Yep - just Kaboom.

     

    I have a lot of loose carts, but they're incomplete. That's why I'm changing my focus to new.

     

    If they are in absolute mint condition and guaranteed complete by someone who knows what they're talking about, I'd consider "non-sealed".

     

    Otherwise.... ;)

    The reason the list is like that is because it is based off an even older list that dates back into the mid 90's. When I took it over from John E., I simply kept his format because at the time I didn't have anything better. I assume Phil left it alone for similar reasons.

     

    I've always wanted to do a picture version of the list, but that would be a HUGE undertaking. Someone would have to devote alot (and I mean ALOT) of time to complete something like that. Not to mention they would need access to all these variations.

    Hey Matt,

     

    I know it would be a TON of work. To that extent, I'd be willing to help, if it's something people wanted to do.

     

    I can't contribute to the visual component of the guide, but I'm sure there are others who would be willing.

     

    Given the vast number of collectors here, I'm sure that we could do it.

     

    The "hard part" has already been done - the identification of the variations. Even if it's still a WIP, it's a start, and can always be updated or added to.

    I'm sure I'm not the only person who's thought of this, but I don't know if it has already been addressed or not.

     

    Being a very visual person, I have difficulty following these intricate variation lists.

     

    I know that a lot of work has gone into them, but after a few minutes, my eyes start to bug out. Also, for most of the entries, it's difficult to visualize the variation.

     

    For example (from Philfound's guide):

     

    This is the entry list for Tic-Tac-Toe

     

    3-D Tic-Tac-Toe CX2618

     

    a) C 2nd txt ©1980, CART1, medium ®, red text

    b) R 2nd txt ©1980, CART1, medium ®, purple text

    c) R PicBl ©1978, CART1, blue text

    d) R PicBl-p ©1978, CART1, blue text, EL: “p” printed on right, PAL

    e) R PicBl ©1986, CART3, ML: no “use with...”

    f) R PicBl ©1986, CART?, ML: black tape over controller info

    g) R PicBl ©1986, CART?, ML: Typo: “use with paddle…”

    A) Manual ©1980, black, CO11402-18 on back, 8 pages, 4 x 6.5”, Printed in USA, Rev 1

    1) Box ©1980, light blue box, light blue warranty box, © outside warranty box

    2) Box ©1986, light blue box, made in Taiwan, Printed in Taiwan, Rev 1 on flap

     

    There's a LOT of information there, and I feel as though I need my secret decoder ring to decipher through all of the abbreviations, etc.

     

    Believe me, I appreciate the resource, and am in NO WAY knocking the effort - honestly.

     

    What I'm wondering though, is if it would be possible to have a database of scans for all of these variations.

     

    That way, you could see the cart and identify the variations applicable.

     

    Whether this is possible or not isn't really an issue, of course it is.

     

    Perhaps there are limitations, due to file size or what not, but it would seem as though this would be possible.

     

    Has this been discussed?

     

    Now, I'm not saying that every portion of the cart needs to have a pic, but if it applies to the variation, then it could be included.

     

    For example, for the different "CART" versions (ie. circuit board covers or lack thereof), they could be identified by description, rather than have a picture of the opening.

     

    I would think that pics of the label (and end label where applicable) would be sufficient.

     

    Sorry if this has already been done (and I can't seem to find it), but I think this would idea would make a great guide to help with collecting variations.

     

    Personally, I would love to be able to just have a checkbox next to a picture and cross them off as I find them.

     

    Enough rambling - any thoughts??

     

    Peace,
