  1. Ax, thank you for making this thread. It is a great discussion I have been curious to see played out.

     

    I thought at first I probably wouldn't get an sgm, as I just started cv collecting this year (and spent a lot of money relative to my usual gaming budget). Then, I heard an epic version of DK was coming out. This swayed me a bit, as I love DK, and to have an amazing console version would please me greatly. If someone did what Ransom said and made a bug free Burgertime, I would be swayed even more. Now, if someone announced an arcade perfect port of Tapper was on the way, I would be ready to spend my food money to make sure I got a copy.


  2. As if your avatar doesn't give it away, but you're showing your age! :lol:

     

    This "strange" technology is how we used to communicate via baud rate modems and play/record our games and programs to magnetic media waaaaay back before you were born. ;)

    Haha, yeah I didn't mean to insult it. I guess I didn't elaborate on my thoughts. I was thinking about the context of it being used to plug a video game cartridge into a cassette or cd player. It's like some video game creator was a less extreme version of Dr. Frankenstein, making crazy combinations.


  3. I picked up some miscellaneous stuff today. I can google some stuff about it, but it only takes me so far. I was hoping I could get a little help from the wise collectors and historians around here, as I've noticed sometimes a single person on Atari Age knows more than a search engine on particular topics.

     

    Any info is appreciated- history, function, use, rarity, current value, etc.

     

    Thank you!

  4. Hello, I was hoping someone might be able to help me learn more about some accessories I have.

     

    First, I was wondering about two Suncom controllers which I believe are called joy sensors. I have two- one black and one silver. What is the purpose of these? Are they fun to use? Any value?

     

    Next, I have all different variations on what seem to be similar cables. Wico and a couple other brands, all.new. Some are plastic bags with cardboard tops. Some are cardboard boxes. They are y cables for plugging two controllers into one port. I think one group of packages said Questar..? Does anyone need these? Any value or rarity?

     

    Lastly, I'm wondering if there is any possible way to use an Atari Accuball or Trakball on Colecovision. I realize I will probably just need to get a roller controller, but I thought I would ask.

     

    Thanks!
