  1. Just to be able to get one of those lab loaners for my collection would really be a highlight. I always wanted to get one of those. Such a cool part of Atari history! Let me know if you are willing to let any of those go for a fair price. If I can afford it, I would love to buy one!!! Thanks!
  2. If you haven't seen it already, AtariAge has a High Score club with contests like this each week: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/179628-high-score-club-905-shark-attack/page__st__25__p__2248275__hl__shark+attack__fromsearch__1#entry2248275 Shark Attack this week!!! Jump in...the water is fine! Welcome aboard!
  3. True but the other one is missing part of the end label And it's in Spain. I always wanted one of these but, to be honest, I cant see spending that kind of money when the seller has only 16 eBay feedbacks. International scares me a bit as well, but that is just based on a couple of bad experiences I personally have had in the past. (not to mention the torn end label) As for the re-listed copy in PA, the seller now has a reserve, and god knows what it is. I have no idea what this reserve could be, but I bet some good samaritan described River Patrol to the seller as "the holy grail of Atari" (which is somewhat true), so it probably is gonna be outlandish. Bummer. I wish I could have seen this one just roll on naturally, but I can see it from the seller's perspective entirely. Having zero feedback will certainly keep me out of this one as well. Best of luck to you guys who are bidding. I hope someone here at AA gets it and at a fair price!
  4. I received my refurbished and moded ColecoVision back yesterday and I would have posted the feedback sooner, but I was busy playing!!! Normally, I would just write a typical feedback (fast shipping, good communication, etc.), but this purchase was different and I hope other ColecoVision owners read this: Having the modifications done to my ColecoVision has enhanced my overall gaming experience with this console by 100%. In my opinion, these modifications are a MUST HAVE for the following reasons- Enhanced picture quality and sound (RCA outputs) More responsive controllers (refurbished and arcade sticks added) Prolonged life expectancy (refurbishing and professional cleaning of wear parts) Ability to pause a game! (added pause mod kit) Faster game load time (BIOS skip mod) Better mobility (straightened coil cords on controllers) All in all, I can say that this is one of the best game related investments I have ever made. I stress that I consider it an investment, because it makes the system enjoyable in the ways I always dreamed it could be. Previously, I always hated connecting using a coaxial converter from Radio Shack to bypass the need for an RF switch, as it did not have the picture or audio quality I wanted. The controllers never felt comfortable to me when playing and sometimes felt like a hinderance. As for the pause kit, BIOS skip and the refurb/cleaning...BONUS!!!! Sorry if I am rambling, but I am VERY happy (i'd say ecstatic)with Yurkie's handiwork! Thank you so much for enhancing my ColecoVision experience!
  5. I bought it last night. Forgot to post that I PM'd on the OP. Check and see tho, maybe he has another one lying around.
  6. I have a question tho...did anyone ever with the $25,000 contest??? If not...I'm sending in my entry today!!!
  7. I picked mine up in the wild (salvation army) about a week or two ago for $0.50 I know this is not a likely find in the wild, but here it is: Too bad it is an extra small!
  8. Good thing you opened that! I wish I had a PS...I used to love the KillZone games and it is one of the sony exclusives I really miss (being an XBOX guy). Best of luck selling those!
  9. Do you need them loose or CIB? I have Indy 500, Miniature Golf loose for sure and I may have concentration (I have to check). All loose.
  10. OOH! I didn't think about Berzerk. That one would be AWESOME! Consider it a design! OH! Consider it mine! I agree...Berzerk would be awesome!
  11. As the thread title states, I just saw this on eBay at a good price and i figured I'd let the AA folks know about a good deal on Mr. Do's Castle. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 170617255532 This listing is not my auction...I repeat -This is not my auction. Since I already have this in my collection, I thought it might help someone here at AA get this game at a good price. Caution to the buyer though...there is some negative feedback in the seller's past. But for $35, it might be worth the risk to someone. I hope this was helpful! -Benny
  12. I was watching that auction too, but I already have crazy climber and I just figured it wouldn't stop anywhere near the $43 end bid! Great job!!! I hope that was something you needed. I paid $60 for my CC cart all by itself a ways back. Super good catch for eBay for sure!
  13. Thanks! I was amazed this passed by on eBay without another single bid! At first I thought I may have been missing some important detail about the auction. It all looks super good tho and after shipping it was about $60 total!
  14. I just got my briefcase in the mail today. Ebay purchase...amazing deal. Here's what I got: (1) minty Vader system (1) Coleco Telstar system (30) 2600 games (all perfect labels R1 to R3) All instruction manuals Atari power adaptor & cables Atari Age Vol 1 & 2 all issues Book - how to win at video games Oak cartridge holder (sweet!) - Mint Black Atari briefcase - Mint Here is the Amazing part - $30.00 + shipping!!!! This was quite a find
  15. Face it...you got screwed (I just couldn't help myself)!
  16. I didn't notice Berzerk or Battlezone on that list. Although, some may disagree with me regarding Battlezone, I think both of these titles deserve honorable mention when it comes to playable arcade ports. I love the port of Berzerk! It is one that I have never lost the desire to play since the day I originally got this back in the 1980's.
  17. We were deprived of Battlestar Galactica and so many other licensed games so we could have the true gems like ET and Raiders!!!
  18. SWEET!!! Bump hoping for 40 more pre-orders!!!!! (I can't wait to see one of these in my game room)
  19. I have 15 cleaned and ready (no labels) and I am working on more. I'll let you know when I have a group of 25 ready to ship. PM me with the details. Also (just curious), what are you working on??? I loved the power lords cart! If you have something new brewing (Pink Panther perhaps), I would be happy to work out a "store credit" of sorts. Let me know!
  20. Just got my 2600 Diagnostic Cart and it is a wonderful addition to my collection. Shipped fast and Strattsp communication was excellent. Thanks again!!!!
  21. Just received my CIB Crossbow and sealed moon patrol for the 2600. Excellent shape, lightning fast shipping and great communication throughout. Thank you again!!!
