I don't get it. I don't see why I should pay over $40 for an old video game system. Now don't get me wrong, I love classic games, but I don't want to become a serious collector like you guys are. I just wanna get the games I actually enjoy playing instead of enjoying staring at a rare game in a display case. And that's why I believe classic gaming should be affordable to everyone.

Uh, Dragonforce, I noticed in your first post up there, you had Ballblazer listed under "atari 2600". Ballblazer was never made for the 2600. I think you mean Atari 7800 or 5200.
-
Does it fit in a newer model SNES?
-
When you say genesis controllers do you mean sega?Yes, we mean Sega.
-
This guy's saying that there are less than 200 of these worldwide. What an idiot.
-
Now Mythicon games... God, those are bad.
-
Whoa! That's the same 5200 I was gonna bid on!

Actually, the reason why I said the XEGS was the most outdated was because it was still based on the 400/800 computers, which were made in 1979. The NES dates back to 1983.

Ballblazer
Beamrider
Berzerk
Centipede
Choplifter
Defender
Gremlins
H.E.R.O.
Joust
Jungle Hunt
Millipede (it's a prototype, but you can buy it at the Atariage store)
Missile Command (the sounds are arcade-perfect)
Ms. Pac-Man
Pac-Man
Pitfall II
Q*Bert
Qix
Robotron 2084
Space Invaders
Super Breakout
The Dreadnought Factor

Go ahead and open 'em! However, if you want, you can keep the boxes and put them on display. That's what I did with my Pole Position and Solaris boxes after I took out everything in them.
-
And there's no doubt that they'll overprice this stuff. $39 for a Wico Ball stick? Whatever.
-
No more video games for life? OK, that's WAYYYYYYY too harsh there!
At least I don't get grounded (and I never have)! 
-
SWEET!!!!
-
OOPS! Accidently hit "Submit" twice! Anyways, go ahead and reply.

Basically, make a list of things you would do for Atari if you were Atari's CEO from 1976 to 1996. I can't really think of anything right now.
-
No, that doesn't work, you need a 8K bankswitched PCB do do it.Then, how do I put the ROM on a bankswitched PCB? Or, how do I get a bankswitched PCB?
-
I just played Quadrun on z26, and it's pretty good! Since it's so rare, I've decided to make a repro of it. It's easy right? I mean, all I have to do is get a common cart like Combat or Pac-Man, take out the guts, peel off the labels, burn an EPROM, put it on a new PCB, put it in the cart shell, then print the labels out, right? BTW, what kind of paper do I need to make a Quadrun label?
-
Is the Jr dishwasher-safe? I mean, mine's already super-clean, but I'm just wondering.
-
I just can't get enough of these dummies! They always manage to land a big smile on my face! ROTFL!

Alright Jasoco, lemme explain the SMS 2 in better detail...
The SMS 2 was released in 1990 when Sega of America got the copyrights of the SMS back from Tonka. Besides being smaller and not having a card slot, it also doesn't have a reset button or an A/V port. It also has Alex Kidd in Miracle World built-in. It's very easy to find in Europe, Australia, and Brazil, but quite rare over here. BTW, it sold for $50.
-
Yes, Xbox 1.2 will be a scant 6 acres in footprint surface area.YOU ALL FORGOT MASTER SYSTEM 3! Yes, it exists.
What's a Master System 3? When was there a 2?
Or are you just confused and thinking Sega Genesis 2 and 3?
The Master System 3 was only sold in Brazil, and it's basically a rebadged SMS 2.
-
Oh yeah, I have a Nomad. It's pretty great, despite the amount of juice it takes. I got mine from a friend for FREE!!! He said he had Genesis games and a Genesis console at one point, but they were missing. He eventually found some missing games a few months after that, and gave those to me.

Exactly. I believe a basic 7800 pack (console, 2 Pro-Lines, power supply, switchbox, Pole Position II) should be worth $20. Now $179, that's WAYYYY too much.
