    Well, thank heavens they don't consider themselves Homebrewers then! I don't think we could afford that sort of damage to our reputation.

     

    ;)

    Considering my box has come unglued and my cart label has a bunch of big bumps under it, I wouldn't expect that from a "company". I would have to say I would rather it be a "homebrew" from the AA store as far as quality and I am not kidding 😁

    Yeah, the complete package did look nice.  I have a box (decent shape) for mine, but it did not come with the foam inserts or the manual.  I don't think I'll ever get the manual.  I've never seen just a manual come up for sale.

    I think one just sold or listed last week.

    That’s insane!

    I’m really curious to see if someone will buy it...

    I couldn’t see any ultrarare stuff, but I’m not an expert...

    Pitty that the seller didn’t make a complete list, it would be very helpful to sell such a gigantic mixed lot...

    He's not going to get anywhere near that and he knows that.

    Well, I was joking about it but #2206 standard edition was indeed in my mailbox when I got home from work. So why a first class packaged that technically didn't even ship until yesterday morning is already in my mailbox in one day, but a package I sent on the 23rd for 2-day priority didn't even leave my city until the 27th is beyond my understanding right now. Still, I got mine and will likely give it a go finally later tonight on my 7800.

     

    Did your game show up packed into a shipping box? I was hesitant using the first class since it was under 4 dollars if I remember correctly. I thought it could possibly show up in a bubble envelope so I went with priority.

    I ended up just returning it to the store actually. I did try all of the tricks like getting it centered in the game slot etc, even 3 different Atari 5200 consoles and all gave the same error in the exact same spot.

    Did you try using Deoxit? That also works great.

    right- Sorry about that. I went off on a tangent- stating that Scrapyard Dog (a platformer) was the only original 7800 game I never beat.... then I remembered i never beat Tank Command or Water Ski (total crap- non platformer games) either, mid-sentence... and I felt like I had to qualify that

    I actually like Water Ski and have seen quite a few people that like it on here as well. Hard game but pretty fun.

    I just placed an order on the phone yesterday afternoon (March 18th).

    Yes he IS behind and warned me of a 3 week delay in shipping my order!

     

    Also--- He limited me to 3 items on my order.

     

     

    Limit of 3 is just idiotic but whatever, well anyways I promise you there is no 3 week delay in him shipping it. Just another weird thing that he likes to say. You will get it by Wednesday or Thursday of this week.

    Activision carts are a pain. If I have cleaned the contacts several times I then use Deoxit then I use 91 percent again. Make sure when using a q-tip that you use alot of force and speed. Almost like trying to start a fire 🤪 It has worked several times for me. On a side note, when trying this with Activision carts on a 2600 after cleaning them over and over again with no results I find this works. I put the cart in about half way and turn the power on and if no result I try it again and go a bit past half way and so on. Most of the time I get carts that I would normally throw out working!!!

    . His packages are sturdy and filled with lots of packing peanuts to protect the hardware.

     

     

    Just don't ever order a console or something big from him, he does not pack them very well!
