    I'm looking for Syphon Filter 1 & 2, both complete with disc, jewel case, manual, etc. I'm also looking for an old Atari 800XL or 130XE computer, but I assume the SF games are more likely. ;)

     

    Anyways, I've got a pile of games up for trade. Cash is also an option, but I'd like to move some of these out first:

    Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (A2600)

    Asteroids (A2600)

    Joust (A2600)

    Super Breakout (A2600)

    Warlords (A2600)

    Food Fight (A7800)

    Choplifter! (A7800)

    Pole Position II (A7800)

    Dig-Dug (A7800)

    Majora's Mask (N64) (gold/holographic cart)

    Pilotwings 64 (N64)*  

    Jet Force Gemini (N64)+ (box is a bit beat up)

    Super Glove Ball (NES)

    Fortified Zone (GB)

    CIMA: The Enemy (GBA)+

    Karnaaj Rally (GBA)+

    Konami Krazy Racers (GBA)+

    Monster Rancher Advance (GBA)

    Rockman EXE Battle Chip Grand Prix (GBA)*+ (aka Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge)

    Spider-Man/Venom: Maximum Carnage (GEN)+ (w/store sticker on clamshell case)

    Mutant League Football (GEN) (w/store sticker)

    Rocket Knight Adventures (GEN)+ (w/store sticker on clamshell case)

    Dragon Half (DUO)*+

    Ys I & II (DUO) (disc only)

    Keith Courage in Alpha Zones (TG16)+

     

    * - Japanese

    PM or reply if you can help. Thanks! :D

    Is it just me, or have Atari computer prices been ridiculous on eBay lately? Or maybe it's not just lately, since I only recently started looking. Anyway, is there a more reliable and cost-effective online source for finding 800XLs, 130XEs, etc? I've gone to Best Electronics' site and MyAtari.com, but their prices are in the stratosphere.

    If you have a few weeks or a couple of months, be patient.  I got a 1040ST for $10 and a 520ST for $5 just last year.  The prices haven't gone up too much there just may not be too many on the market recently but there probably will be soon.

    Oh, I'll definitely be able to wait. If prices don't come way down, I can't get one. End of story. ;)

     

    Huh, so much  :? :( Here in Germany some sellers can be lucky if they sell their 1040 ST with monitor for 1 or 2 Euros, some 520 STs were not sold in the last time...

    Man, you guys have all the luck! It's shame I wouldn't be able to use a PAL system. :sad:

    I'd need a clean, working 800XL or 130XE computer system, w/power supply and possibly some game carts to test it with. An SIO2PC interface would be nice, too, but I'm not going to push my luck. ;) Anyway, here's what I've got up for trade; cold hard cash is possible, too. PM or reply if you're interested. :D

    The 520STs I found had TOS 1.0 in ROM, I believe. I know I'd need 1.02(?), but I'm not sure how to go about finding the upgrades.

     

    Why do you need 1.2? You can always get an upgrade from dealers like Best or B&C in the US or others in EU.

    I heard you need 1.02 to maximize compatibility with games, apps, etc.

    I'd love to have an ST, but they seem to go for good amounts of cash on eBay...at least lately. Do they always fetch a higher price, or are they easier to find elsewhere at a lower one? I've seen some (relatively) inexpensive 520STs...but I don't know if those are any good.

    Thanks for the links! Checking them out now...

    When you do pick up one of these it would be very wise to budget another $30 or so to pickup a sio2pc cable that will let you use your PC's hard drive as an Atari floppy and hard drive.  

    I use a Mac, not a PC. So I dunno if that cable will work properly through a serial-to-USB adapter.

    Hey guys. I'm a newbie as far as Atari computers go, but the 8-bit computers just seem to have captured my interest; that, and an ST isn't going to happen right now. I just don't have the room, or the cash. ;)

     

    Anyways, I had some basic questions about the 800-series; please forgive my stupidity.

     

    1.) What upgrade options are there (i.e., memory, peripherals, etc.)?

     

    2.) What else can you use an 800 for, besides gaming? Any recommended programs? I know there's some DOS-type stuff...

     

    3.) I've mainly got my eyes on the 800XL, but would the XE be a horrible purchase? I know the keyboard's "mushy," but can it still do all the computer stuff that the 800s could, or is it strictly for games?

     

    Thanks in advance! :D

    I'm considering picking up an Atari computer at some point...but should I go with an 800 series or an ST series? Naturally, I'd mainly be using the system for games...but how do the systems differ as far as ease of use, peripheral availability, compatibility with monitors, etc?

     

    Thanks!
