Atari Dreamcast

[Atari Dreamcast]

Ok, you have all probably heard the good news about the Atari compilation on the Dreamcast (a steal for $15) but now the important question...

 

Will there be a UK / European release?

[Atari T-shirts]

This has probably been asked a million times but where is the vest place to get Atari T-Shirts, not the ones that Kyle wears in Road Trip, just standard t-shirts. Also Space Invaders or other game t-shirts. Problem is, I am in the UK. I found tees.com which had a wonderful selection but that happens to be in New York, a few thousand miles away from where I live!

[Help Finding Atari 7800 Games]

Many of these games are available for pennies in the UK (£2 for most of the ones listed)

 

Most sellers will ship internationally so check ebay.co.uk or yahoo.co.uk auctions, even though you may have to pay a fair bit of postage you will ultimately save a fortune. Don't spend $40 though, thats waaaaay too much.

 

If you have any problems email me and I may be able to help you out, I could possibly get some of these titles and ship them out to you.

[7800 in the UK]

I remember Impossible Mission being pretty much impossible anyway. If the UK version was completeable I never knew because I never got that far with it. Ive just purchased 10 games from various auctions, grand total £20 so thats pretty darn good. Its interesting to see the rarity lists that you guys produce in the USA though, as here in the UK all games seem to be available as much as the next. Some things do appear less than others (the gun for example) but thankfully I seem to have already got these about 10 years ago. Is there anything I will have serious trouble getting? I hear the hi-score cart, 32in1 and some diagnostic cart is hard to get.

[7800 in the UK]

Looking through the locations of most of you guys, North America seems to be the most prominent location. I however, am in the UK, and was just wondering what was going on with the 7800 scene here.

 

When I was young and the 7800 was my console of choice I used to make a monthly trip to Toys R Us to buy a game, they had everything and more, and now im digging out everything ive got for a much needed play, (unfortunatley Alien Brigade with the gun seems to have taken up most of my time!)and to my suprise not one of my mates even knows what a 7800 is, thinking back, even when in 1989 none of my friends knew what it was, games were difficult to get (40 miles aay for me) and the scene never took off.

 

So im just wondering whats happening now, and what advantages I may have in the UK with regards to completing the collection (ive found out close to 30 games now, I think there may be more hidden away in the loft though)

[What is your Favorite and Least Favorite Game]

Ive only just started digging my Atari 7800 stuff out from the loft so I havent really played it since about 1992, but my favourite then was 2 player Hat Trick, Alien Brigade, and Xevious, I didnt like Donkey Kong a great deal. Im still finding stuff up there so who knows what games I will find next.
