Interests
Collecting for all consoles. Anything video game related really interests me. Most of all, I love learning more about the Atari consoles. Since I wasn't around during that time, I missed out on some amazing things.
Besides all of that, I am a collegiate track and field athlete. I do long jump and high jump!
Video games and jumping... yeah! But not at the same time! -

Need help with some Vic-20 games
Topsy_Turve replied to Topsy_Turve's topic in Commodore 8-bit Computers
I really would rather sell them all together. I'm planning on posting it on my local Craigslist to see what I'm offered. You're free to offer as well if you would like! -
Need help with some Vic-20 games
Topsy_Turve replied to Topsy_Turve's topic in Commodore 8-bit Computers
Appreciate the time you took to do that! In my years of collecting, this is the only Vic-20 stuff I ever came across. Glad there is some knowledge about it online -
Hey guys, been a while since I posted on AtariAge, hope all is well! I've had this small lot of Vic-20 games for about 6 years now. Got them awhile ago at an electronics hoarder estate sale. I know NOTHING about old Commodore stuff (I mainly collect Atari, Nintendo, Sega, and various other things). When I got these, I never even looked into them, they just got thrown into a box. I just moved recently and unearthed them. For you Commodore aficionados, I have a few questions: 1. Are any of these games rare, uncommon, hard to find? 2. IF you were to price this entire lot, how would you do so? What is it worth? My plan is to sell them to a collector, or trade if they have stuff I'm looking for. 3. Is anyone particularly interested in this lot? Here is a list of all the games: Gorf Pin Ball Mole Attack The Sky is Falling Adventure Land Pirates Cove Omega Race Road Race The Count Clowns Voodoo Castle Slot Alien Star Trek Strategic Operations Simulator Qbert Dragonfire Pac Man Atlantis Demon Attack Satellites and Meteorites Adventure Land Radar Ratrace Raid on Fort Knox Tooth Invaders Centipede Gridrunner Buck Rogers Planet of Zoom Frogger Of course as someone with some knowledge of the games from this time, many of these are familiar titles. Yet, I know absolutely nothing about the Vic-20 so I don't really know where to go for these. Thank you all for any info Topsy

Questions about my Turbo Express

How can I check the internals to see the mod? Any specific parts of the board I should look at? Would pictures help? -
Questions about my Turbo Express
Topsy_Turve replied to Topsy_Turve's topic in Classic Console Discussion
That was my first thought, but it's definitely a Turbo Express. I'll attach a picture for reference. https://postimg.org/image/ytje53mhd/ (this is the only way I know to attach an image) Unless it's the internals of a PC-Engine GT, which seems extremely unlikely as I opened the system up and the internals do not look tampered with at all. -
Hey guys, I recently picked up a Turbo Express at a video game convention here in Chicago. The system is in great condition and when I tested it there, it worked great! The game that the vendor bundled it with was Street Fighter II (an import game). Once I got home, however, the system would not play any games from my personal collection. I am baffled as to why this is happening and do not know enough about the Turbo Express to draw any conclusions. So, here's what happens. For the Street Fighter game, it boots up perfectly 9/10 times. That means that there is nothing wrong with the power or screen. But when I try and boot up any other game, I typically just get a white screen. Sometimes it will flicker or do something weird but mostly just a white screen and white noise. Any suggestions? -Topsy

Where can I find SNES and N64 plastic game box protectors for cheap? I can't find anything online.

Quick question, is there a difference between getting a disc game buffed and getting a disc game resurfaced?
-
Thats awesome. Yeah I'm definitely always down to meet other collectors in my area.

Definitely an amazing find! My jealous level is over 9000.

Honestly, I get really great mpg so it wasn't too bad! And my parents paid for the gas, they owed me anyways. -

I know the pictures may make the label look a bit yellow, but that is only because of the light that is in my room. It's fairly yellow and makes the label seem that way. I swear the label is perfectly silver and in great shape. -

No problem! I couldn't get a pic of the connectors because my camera would not focus but they are honestly perfect. Let me know what you all think!
