    Well actually when I buy games from Pixelboy I get tracked packet for less or the same as what Collectorvision charges and they don't have tracking added. Usually I get three or up to five games at a time from Pixelboy. If they use the same then there would be no extra cost to add tracking.

    Who do I need to contact about using my CollectorVision club coupon toward a pre-order?  I have sent emails and PM's with no response.  The coupon doesn't do much good if nobody replies to messages about using it. 😏

    I was also thinking about doing the same thing. Pm Toby on here and wait for a reply. Usually takes up to a couple of weeks for him to reply though.

    I recently sold a game and the buyer sent me a message asking for tracking. I told him I have up to three business days handling time and warned him about how long the post office is taking. He replied saying that there are no delays with the post office and it is business as usual. Then said if he doesn't have the game by whatever day he came up with that he would consider it late. WTF!! Needless to say I canceled his order ASAP!!

    ...or, a "truly arcade accurate" and simple solution...without 8 separate adapters/dongles:

     

    for the Atari 2600/7800/8-Bit

    ...or a few other options:

    😁

     

    That being said...there's no great "cheap" way to properly play Robotron: 2084.  If you want real WICO 4" leaf-switch arcade joysticks (same as in the arcade cabinet), you will be looking at hundreds of dollars.  Less expensive arcade sticks (but not properly arcade cabinet accurate) are available, like the X-Arcade.  But first you need to determine which console, or emulator apparatus you're going to play on: 5200, 7800, SNES, PSX, GameCube or other, and determine what sort of budget you're working with.  

     

    If you're in the $50-$100 range, then you looking at a 7800 and 2 stock controllers taped, or zip tied to a wood board.  If you're in the $400 range, then you could get 1 like in my first picture built for whichever console you choose.  The X-Arcade Twin and their 5-in-1 adapter would allow for twin sticks on the Gamecube (assuing 2 sticks can be wired to 1 port for that particular game/system) at about $200, but just know that the modern micro switch sticks used in the X-Arcade have a completely different feel from the WICO versions used in the original Robotron: 2084 arcade cabinets, and then there's the annoyance of your right wrist/palm resting on top of the P2 buttons when you're manipulating the right joystick with your right hand. 

    Love those!!
