    Looks like mostly computer parts, including a lot of games on floppy (although that isn't exactly clear from the post), and then just a dozen or so 2600 carts.

     

    Some of the carts are scarce, and so depending on condition, could be nice to have. Might be some manuals, too? Might even be boxes, although it's not mentioned.

     

     

    Bottom line for me would be "do I want or can I sell (or be bothered to try and sell!) an 805 module, printer, and disc drive after I have salvaged the games and manuals I want . . . "

     

    If your answer is "yes," or you have a desire to have more hardware, I'd say the price is OK. Maybe knock it down to $55 on the spot, if you can.

     

     

    Go and see, as always, right? :D That's my craigs philosophy!

    Aaaaah, so all the 800 games are on floppy? or are there a bunch of games on floppy, and the listed games on cartridge? if the 800 games are all on floppy, then I'd pass.

    I was working on a console this evening and decided, for the heck of it, to toss in Kaboom! to "test" it. I played for a few minutes and decided to see if I could get my wife to play it. She sat down, gave me her "why am I in here" look, and took the paddle. I hit the reset switch and she started playing. At first, she died quickly. But after a few resets, she got better ... and better. There were quite a few "last game" comments, and smiles. After a good 20 minutes of sitting on her own, she finally got up to go to the bathroom. Her last comment: "I'll be back". :)

     

    She hasn't played an honest game with me, or really even the kids, in years. It was really good to see her enjoy herself, if only for a few minutes.

    Do you have one of the 8-bits? the version of kaboom on the home computers is two player versus, with one player controlling the bomber and the other controlling the buckets. it alternates between who's doing what. I nearly lost my mind when I realised this. also, it plays a a note from a familiar tune every bomb you catch, and as the play gets faster the music gets more dramatic. Kaboom is one of my all time favorites and this version is the best!!

    I always liked the little start tune in Pressure Cooker myself. Pitfall II's music was amazing as well. I'm not sure if the Reactor background sounds count as music but they were pretty cool.

    The song from pressure cooker definitely!!! had that as my cell phone text alert for a long time!!

    Three cheers for the one of the best hobbyist programmers around! Pac man collection is a masterpiece that clearly had a lot of work put into it. as soon as the store opens again, I intend on buying more of his craft. Bob! Bob! Bob!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

    Opcode announced he was looking at a version of 7800 Millipede last year. However, I'm not sure if its still going ahead.

    WANT. i try to avoid speculation on what games programmers should be making, since i don't know much about programming and if they put the effort into any game it will be ones they want to program. that being said, millipede does seem like "low hanging fruit" if you know what i mean :) .

    Sorry, I'm sure this was addressed earlier, but what are the memory requirements for this? will it work with a stock 64k XL? :ponder:

     

    If you have a 1Mbyte Flashcart (EDIT: or the official game cartridge), then it will work on stock 64kB XL hardware.

    The .bin Keeps crashing in my atari800 emulator. do I need to have specific settings applied?

     

    EDIT: just got it, changed cartridge type. very nice!!

    There are some great ROM choices but this is an original cart search post, thank you.

    Oh, I completely understand. I still snag any cheap carts a find, even thought I can play them with this. :D good luck!
