  1. Holy crap! That game loose is worth around $30 now. I had NO idea. I literally have 3 of these loose...

     

    Yeah, it's that rare cross-section of being a great game that is also relatively scarce. (Similar to Little Samson, Duck Tales 2, et. al. on the NES.)

     

    You also have a shrink-wrapped copy of the Coleco Vision version don't you, MJ?


  2. Wouldn't mind having the hard case, but that foam looks pretty stained with Lord-knows-what. (Previous owner did dip?? The mind shudders to imagine.)

     

    And I'd LOVE the power strip as well, but no way I could ever justify paying anywhere near $100 for it. Not saying it isn't worth it, because I have no idea; it's just that I've not yet reached that stage of collecting or wife's tolerance thereof yet. ;)

  3. A word of warning about the Xbox wireless bridge. I have one and was disappointed to learn that it does not, with official firmware, support WPA/WPA2 encryption--only up to 128-bit WEP. I've read that you can flash some models of the adapter to run a custom firmware which does support WPA, but I never wanted to bother with that. I just set up a different router to use as a guest connection in my house and have the Xbox bridge connect to that one instead.


  4. I've got a similar but not identical Dave Brown package for C64. Not sure what it's worth, but I paid 99cents for it long ago when Commodore stuff was cheap and plentiful at the thrifts.

    Yeah, I suspect that's a later revision of the controller hardware; much cleaner looking. In fact, on the one I have, the numbers "1" and "2" (to designate which port you were supposed to plug each end into) look like they were simply hand scrawled with a soldering iron on the flat part of the blue tip.

     

    One of the guys in that Lemon64 thread I linked in my OP also mentioned that his had the round cables instead of ribbon. I actually PM'd the guy to see if he ever got a working D64 dump of the disk; haven't heard back from him yet.

     

    Thanks for sharing!
