  1. All websites I've read state that Atlantis II has the night label.
  2. I'm wondering if I should buy it, I don't live anywhere near them.
  3. I read it in an Ebay auction earlier this year but kind of ignored it until now.
  4. I read somewhere that iMagic put a pink stripe on the PCB for the Atlantis II cartridges in order to know which ones had the new code on them, then a couple of weeks ago I had someone send me this photo asking if I wanted to buy their Atari game for $10. Is it Atlantis II? Is the pink stripe true? I want to open up one of my Atlantis cartridges to see if it has the stripe but don't want to ruin the label.
  5. Picked these up today. Pengo was $50 and all the rest were $75. Those are Canadian dollars so subtract about 20% for US pricing.
  6. I must have picked these up somewhere along my collector travels, I just found them in a box with a pile of other stuff and didn't even know I had them. Are they worth anything? Where would someone get these?
  7. These are probably all commonly known by you experts already but maybe others could post theirs. I like variants. - left and right appear to have narrower lettering while the middle one has a fatter font in the text next to the title on top - right appears to have a more purple colouring - the green 1625 appears to be the same on left and right but lighter in the middle - this could all just be label fading but I don't think so This one is blatantly obvious. Is one a Sears machine? One has all upper case letters and the other all lower case. It's strange they didn't even bother to capitalize the first letters in each word, they just left them all lower case. This one I stared at for a while but I realized the CX2646 in the bottom right hand corner isn't in the exact same spot on both cartridges.
  8. Those load from the front, they aren't toasters. The toaster is a home made version of a Nintendo with the guts swapped into a toaster unit, I've only ever seen one person with one and you're very unlikely to find one of those, especially for $40. I've also heard people call them Nintoasters. Besides those, there are the front loaders and the top loaders. The benefit of the front loader is that it has RCA output but the benefit of the top loader is that the games work much better in it, pretty much first try every time.
  9. That's it, thanks! I just watched a walkthrough video of it, it's amazing how short the game is when I played it for so many years without success.
  10. It was mostly black and white, you were a member in the army and you had to do the daily duties while looking around for clues in your spare time. You had to attend meal hall, keep your moral up and I remember finding a tuba in someone's bedroom. What is this game called?
  11. As someone that has finished Mega Man 1-10 and also Mega Man X - X5, I would say that the very first one was my favourite from the original series. I thought the controls were more responsive and the difficulty was a better match for me. 2-6 were too easy and felt sloppy, 7 didn't feel right with the larger sprites, 8 was way too much reading with annoying animation and little Asian girl voice-overs. 9 and 10 were amazing and the music was some of the best music I've heard in any game I've ever played, especially the Wily battle (below) but they were way too difficult. It took me a long time to finish them and they were so hard I don't ever want to play them again. Check out the music from the Mega Man 9 Wily battle (skip to 5:15):
  12. I want a Stay Frosty 2 box but I already own the cartridge. Can I buy just the box?
  13. Watched another episode tonight and they found a N64 game. It went straight into the garbage, anyone know what it is? I couldn't get a good enough view of it and my stupid pause button covers it perfectly.
  14. I have the only known copy of this and I got it for free.
  15. I mean rename it specifically to the file name. And if you're only using one you don't need to rename it at all.
  16. Ya, Ebay should have new specifications: - smoke free home - pet free home - hoard free home
  17. This is the last time. You specified a save file needs to be download and then renamed for every game you save. Meaning that every time you want to save a different game, you need to go back to your computer and download another save file and then rename it. My point is that you don't need to go download a new save file every time, nor do you have to rename it. So no part of that is correct. You can just copy the same file you have and name it whatever you want. I'm not mad at all, lots of other useful information in here. I'm going to check out the Everdrive and also this Drive Sort someone mentioned. I hate that my games are sorted by date and not title.
  18. No, it wasn't, let me explain it again. Here's what you wrote: It's written at the grammatical capabilities of a fifth grader but let me attempt to reconstruct it. You need to download a file from online, then rename it, and you need to do all of this for every game you save. If this is not what you meant to write, that's different. It is however, what you did write. If you meant something else then you should work on your grammar.
  19. You stated that the user had to download a save file from Retrozone and then rename it in a certain format, and this is for every game they wanted to save. As I stated, this isn't true. You download a file once and don't have to rename it at all. Obviously if you want more than one save file you'll have to rename it to something but it doesn't have to be a new download from retrousb.com and it doesn't have to be a specific format. When I mentioned you can copy the same file, I mean copy it and rename it to whatever you want. I downloaded the 8kbsave.sav file from retrousb.com and then just made 10 copies of it, one for each of: - Zelda - Dragon Warrior III - Dragon Warrior IV - some others I don't remember I did name them with the same name as the games so I'd be able to tell them apart but I didn't have to do that. I could have just named them 1.sav, 2.sav, 3.sav..... Further to this, I'm pretty sure you don't even need to download the file from retrousb.com at all though I'm not sure of this. My assumption is that the system doesn't have permissions to create a new file on the file system, it only has permissions to write to an already created file, therefore you need to put the file there yourself. I haven't tried this yet.
  20. It's not hard. a) hold reset button b) release c) tap A d) power off
  21. I know this topic's a little old but I don't want new searchers to get the wrong information. This is incorrect, I have since purchased a PowerPak and use it every day. I'll attempt to explain how the saving works. You do need to download a save file from retrousb.com because it's formatted properly for save data (I'm guessing). Either way, the PowerPak can't create a save file itself (I'm guessing because of permissions issues), it just needs a save file on there before you start. So when you go to save a game, you choose which file you want to save to. I hope this makes sense. To put it in a real world scenario, I played Dragon Warrior III over Christmas (a lot). I would play the game like normal and visit the king in order to save the progress like normal. The whole time you're playing the game, even though you're saving it along the way, nothing is actually saved to the memory on the cartridge. When turning off the game you hold the reset button for 4 seconds, then let go. The game asks if you want to save and to which file. I saved it to the only save file I had on there (8kbsave.sav) and then turned off the Nintendo. It's that simple. Some things to note: - It doesn't matter what your save file is named since you get to choose where you save your game. - As long as you have a save file on there, you can keep duplicating that same file as many times as you like whenever you need a new one for a new game. Just keep making copies, you don't need to download new ones from online, you only do that once. The thing that really pissed me off was that I assumed the Compact Flash cartridge which goes in the PowerPak is the same price as an SD card so when I saw that you could get one included with the PowerPak for $17 I declined. I knew that a 4 gibibyte SD card is only $5 so I felt like I would be getting ripped off. When I went to the store to buy a Compact Flash card for my new PowerPak I discovered they are $40 in store so I really got ripped off. However for some reason the SNES PowerPaks come with a free Compact Flash card included in the price. I thought that was weird.
  22. I watch this show on Netflix every night and I've noticed quite a few classic video game systems on there, my girlfriend was the one that brought the first couple to my attention, I missed them at first. For anyone that doesn't know what this show is, it's people that just hoard things in their house. It's mostly people that just can't throw anything away, including garbage, and their house is piled floor to ceiling with junk and they just continue to buy useless crap. Eventually the walls rot out, bugs are everywhere and the city tells them to clean it up or it'll be bulldozed. Cameras film the hoard inside the house and often times there are video game systems hidden among the piles of garbage. So far I've seen: - World Class Track Meet running pad - NES Zapper - Nintendo64 Storage Unit - And this.....Atari Jaguar in the box: I just took a picture of my television, hope you can make it out. The woman whom had this was 48 and had a collection of over 1000 dolls that she talked to and cared for like children. Real messed up in the head. I believe this is her living room. Most times they just throw most of the trash in a dumpster or donate it to get it out of the house so the city doesn't bulldoze it so this probably got tossed or donated.
  23. 3 screw. I know there are collectors that tried going for a complete 3 screw set and they got stuck at Soccer. As far as I know nobody has a complete set and I hardly have any other black box games. And I'm certainly not paying the price a 3 screw Donkey Kong Jr. Math goes for. I paid $35 for the 5 screw version I have. There are also some odd screw variants I've seen like 5 screw: - Legend Of Zelda (gold) - Mike Tyson's Punch Out! - Jaws - Mega Man - Stadium Events
  24. Find me one more. Anywhere. There are pages of Soccer cartridges on Ebay, I guarantee you every one of them are 5 screw.
  25. I complained a lot on this forum about the issues surrounding Princess Rescue and how it was handled and eventually got banned here from reading that thread. I can still use these forums, I just can't read that thread. A similar topic started on Nintendo Age and I continued to complain there, then I got banned from that entire site. I guess Atari Age is more tolerant of my complaining. If you want to know the issue you can check out that thread, I've come to the conclusion I'm the only one that cares so I'm not going to keep going on about it.
