Atari 8-bit version is pretty solid. Great music.

Well, consider me educated. Until a version on cartridge comes along, I'll continue to blaspheme and use my Sega Genesis arcade stick. I would commit my funds to a cart release of the above mentioned Centipede Arcade or Centipede TB if it came out on cart. With or without Pokey

Near complete tg16 hu card set Vectrex Super R type 3 and Space megaforce CIB, if only to sell and rebuild my lost collection.

Hmmm dunno, hesitant to mess with perfection. I've used my wico track ball before and it worked "OK." what is the big difference?

Centipede. Centipede is love. Centipede is life.

Heres the link http://store.nintendo.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=211708&currency=USD&catalogId=10001&tranId=0&lastAction=setCurr&storeId=10001&languageId=-1&categoryId=69709&ddkey=http:SetCurrencyPreference Says they are on back order already :/

Went to my local 5 Below, no sign of them :/

Thanks, that is a steal!

Well OK, even if you do have legitimate intentions of selling these controllers, you still admit to buying them on sale and then trying to sell them here at a profit. It's just like scalping tickets. and quite frankly, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Your the guy that goes out and buys 5 PS4s and hocks them for a profit on Craigslist, making it impossible for parents to get a system for there children for X-mas at a reasonable price. I think I speak for everyone here when I say you sir, are not welcome here.

Oh, well carry on then.

Just found this browsing reddit, was surprised i didn't see it here http://www.videogamechangers.com/2013/06/12/the-adventures-of-the-pink-panther-for-colecovision-1st-ever-screen-shot-from-a-prototype-that-was-only-rumored-to-exist/

I don't think the controllers are known for being fussy, they are expensive because people want a second one for two player games and they are in short supply. If affordability is an issue and you just want to be able to play the games, Multi-carts can be had for less than fifty bucks with a little bit of snooping. There was a guy making reproduction overlays on this forum a while back, I'm sure someone can point you in his direction. The real trick is finding a good, dependable system. Some of them are touchy, and I would personally want to see the system before i bought it. This can be tough, since the odds of finding one "in the wild" or even at a local store are slim. This points you towards the ebay option, witch will run you around 150-200 depending on the stuff with it and shipping costs. Don't skimp on shipping, one good drop would probably kill a system. All that aside, Vectrex is a nifty one of a kind system with a killer homebrew scene. If you decide to do it, you will be happy.

Here in the Roc City!

Galaga for 800 for five bucks! I want that!

I'll just leave this here

Ooh! Ooh! thats me!

Is it just me, or are there a lot of these "one post wonders" lately?

No.

no.

Gotta ask, do you or one of your friends work at a Gamestop? I know they are all throwing these out, much to the annoyance of collectors everywhere.

No, I could only afford one Cave import and elected for this one. Akai katana is pretty awesome, Im 58th on the leaderboards.

Yeah I get that, It's the how that is strange. Basically you can slow down the bullets, and somehow you use that to get more bullets on screen. I think the bullets clear when you destroy the enemy that shot them? Can't tell.

Japanese, obviously. It's one of those games where all the bad guys are shooting stuff at you from every direction.

Does any one have any experience with this game? I just picked it up and cannot for the life of me get my head around the scoring system. It's just coins and gems everwhere, then the bullets are slow, then they are red and very angry, I hold down the bukake button and crazy things happen, then I run out of gauge and suddenly I have a deathray, what is going on!?! Don't get me wrong, I'm having a blast, I just wish I had some Idea how the system worked so I could abuse it for massive scores. Also, I can momentarily push bullets!?!

Also bought some Coleco games from Mumbai, really shiny, nicely packed, excellent price. It's rumored that he will include free kittens with purchase, was unable to confirm.
