    Eli will find a nice new home with somebody here on AtariAge. :wink: How many R10's are there anyway ?

     

    You just got it to sell it ? :sad:

     

    That's not what i meant at all CPU... I'm a rabid perfectionist, and i meant if i ever get a hold of another R10, i'd share the wealth with my peeps on AtariAge...it was kind of a gesture of gratitude man. I said a little ways back in the thread that i do this mostly for "FUN"...that's what games are made for in the first place after all. ;) It just kind of eats at me to have a big rare thing, but with some kind of problem...you know ? Anyway, the wealth shall still be passed down eventually, but untill that next R10 comes my way, it shall be drooled over every day here at my place. :):):)

    What you waiting for, Gigolo?

     

    Crack that sucker open!

     

    :D

     

    And by golly, you're one lucky dude. I bet those who don't own a copy (like me) would have to shell out mucho grande just to own this game.

     

    Whattayamean "waiting"??? Read back a few posts bro. ;)

     

    I cracked it...CPUwiz helped me...we celebrated...we got drunk...we puked on the rug...so all is good. :lolblue:

     

    And yes, i'm really feeling luckier by the moment on this... I never really appreciated how freakin' rare this thing was untill i got mine. I do wonder just how much $ i could get back out of it though. :ponder: It's always been a dream to own an R10 2600 game...but i'm a perfectionist thru-and-thru, so this is'nt going without that little feeling i get in the pit of my stomach when i come across a rare "nekid lady/wounded warrior" in one of my stores. For right now, it is mine...but if/when i get my hands on any R10 in nice condition, Eli will find a nice new home with somebody here on AtariAge. :wink: How many R10's are there anyway ?

    Look at names on the PCB, numbers and see if it looks like it was hand-tampered with. See if it contains a ROM or and EPROM.

     

    CPU...the only one of those things i can even identify is ROM="Read only memory".

    I've got it open right here, along with a junk spare Swordquest i have to compare it to. They look identical except for a small orange stripe going around the width of the board, & a faint "S1" on the side. What does that mean...?

    GAAAAH!!! HOLY HELL! How'd you do that!?!?!? :o That tears it...that mo-fo is MINE! Say howdy to the new owner of that cart people.  

     

    No joke, that's freakishly close to what that cart looks like. :lolblue::thumbsup:

     

    i think cpuwiz was pointing out how easy it would be to create a cart that looks like what you describe. take a US games cart, remove the label, print of the end label from atariage. cut & tear it and glue it onto the us games case.

     

    the point of opening it up would be to see if it is an eprom on a homebrew board...or if it is on a Simage board/Rom...if there is such a thing. has anyone opened up a legit eli's ladder to see what the board/rom looks like? well, now that you own the one that started this discussion, open it up and take pictures!!!

     

    I hate to burst everyone's bubble about getting a look at my new Eli cart, but unfortunately i'm working off a Dreamcast for the time being IE...PC-less. :sad:

    I know this sounds retarded, but i really don't know what i'm looking at when i open a cart up. I've always concentrated on the collecting, and especially the "FUN" aspects of retrogaming...so i've never really looked into the electronics therein. What do i need to look for ? :|

    Just letting everyone know that as of 6:00 this morning i went down the street to my friend's house and knocked on the door before he went to work. He answered the door yawning in his boxer shorts. :lol: I hit him up for said game and it is now mine...:) I am now the "somewhat" proud owner of a R10 cart...be it ever so crappy lookin'. My rarest item before was a copy of Wall Ball that i got from a pawn shop a while back...but even without a lable, Eli beats that to hell & back. :lol: Thanks everybody, especially CPU, for helping me make up my mind on this...;)

    Case form is a perfect match, it even has a "bit of the end label left too. You can see a tiny bit of white, and a bit of the little +sign...that's all that's left though. The front label is gone completely. I'm 99.9% convinced it's the real schmoo...so i'm just puzzling weather it would bring back the $75 if i decided to sell it or something. I've never seen anything like this sell anywhere, so i don't have a price to compare it with. :ponder:

    My friend has actually happened upon a copy of the coveted Eli's Ladder for 2600...problem is the label is completely gone. He has offered it to me for $75 as-is, and i can't make up my mind weather to take it or not. I have never, in my 9 years of collecting, purchased a damaged item of any kind...and i need to know if it's worth the money. Any help will be appreciated.

    Snuff films are those in which the participants are killed on-camera.  Since that would include filmed executions and accidents (as well as animal slaughter), the FBI has limited the definition to those in which the final "sexual" act is murder.  Generally debunked as an urban legend by many (on the basis that they personally haven't seen one)...the police nevertheless have confiscated such films in the past few years (the "necros pedo" pedophile ring and a German guy who had consentually been cannibalized by his gay lover).

     

    Weird shit

     

    Man, no kiddin'. :|

    Not interested in dead and/or gay anything, just good ol' american T&A. :D

     

    Anybody know what you have to get to make a US Dreamcast play import games ? I know there's some way you can do it w/o having to spring for an import system.

    Hehe...nope, not feeling bad at all man. I'm kind of a noob when it comes to Atari stuff and i have'nt played Adventure yet. Hell, i have'nt even gotten a copy of Asteroids yet. :P I've mainly been an NES guy since i started collecting...i've got about half the set so far, but i caught the Atari-bug 'bout a year ago.

     

    Do me a favor man, if you come across a spare copy of 2600 Millipede in nice shape for pretty cheap, LMK...

    For some reason, everybody i've found on-line wants a fortune for their copies, and i know they are'nt "that" rare.

    That was the first videogame i ever played back in about '84, and it's my most wanted thing at the moment.

     

    Thanks again for the help man. :)

     

    Later.....

    I need some help getting an avatar. At present, i've only got a Dreamcast for internet access...and for some reason it is'nt letting me save an avatar in my profile.

    I hereby give any mod full permission to go into my account and save one for me because i'm getting sick of the big blank space below my name in forums.

     

    I'm not picky...just 2 things i want.

     

    1-Classic 2600 character...Donkey Kong, Pac Man, Pitfall Harry, Etc.

    2-As big as possible.

    Animated is a plus, no big if it is'nt.

     

    -Thanks- :D
