I am finding some real great game boy games I never knew existed. I just bought gremlins 2 and adventure island because i liked them so much. also i would love to purchase star hawk, adventures of star saver, turrican/universal soldier, and attack of the killer tomatoes. so many really great platformers for the game boy.

Hey Game Boy Fans! I have gone though many gameboy roms to determine which games I would like to either purchase, or put on my gameboy everdrive. i picked games that had short intros, great sound, quick response time, and relatively small and compact sprites. please take a look at this list and tell me if there is anything on here you absolutely don't agree with.

i guess the nintendo dsi was too modern for me. decided to sell it with games for $100 my absolute favorite hand held system is the origial game boy. i am going to reinvest the $100 in more game boy cartridges. while some modern gamers have lost faith in konami, i have bought some great konami/ultra carts on the cheap.

the apple //c that i bought in 1984 served as my game machine until 1994, when still fully functional, i gave it away to a co-worker. after the initial outlay of $1,295, i accumulated hundreds of copied games from a myriad of high school computer geeks like myself. i only bought a handful of disks such as Conan, which was my favorite. the //c, with its 9" green screen served its purpose so well, that i was completely unaware of the tsunami console which hit our shores in 1986 the NES. the reason i finally grew tired of the //c games? i would have to say i was lured in by the absolutely beautiful graphics of the Super Nintendo. coupled with the fact that I had graduated from College, started working, and finally had some disposable income to spend on the $200 console and $60 cartridges. so i would say that the low (for apple) buy in price, which included all the features you had to pay extra for on the IIe, coupled with a robust game library of which almost everything i tried to run on it worked, with the exception of drol, makes the //c the best apple II for gaming.

i got off track in my effort to buy the everdrive. i got a great deal on a nintendo dsi xl, and bought 42 carts at about $1 a piece. after hauling that on a camping trip, along with my gb system, i determined i am more of a black and white gb guy rather than a ds one. just sold the ds for $100, which puts me in prime position for my everdrive order.

we had the entex space invader (1980) and tomy blip (1979) games, but i don't consider them my first gaming rigs.

wow, this is a long thread at 82 pages (isn't that the year the colecovision was released) i saw a coleco flashback system on CL for $10 and grabbed it. doesn't have my favorite game of all time smurf rescue, but its great nevertheless.

i have not yet heard back from B&C regarding buying one of their refurbed 7800's. On your suggestion xucaen, I checked Best and they are out of stock. on a side note, games on the 7800 seem to be quite a bit easier than I am used to on the atari 8 bit. for example, asteroids, donkey kong, and pole position are all more playable for me than I am used to. is this documented? has anyone else noticed this? or am I just imagining it?

i know that this is a loaded question, of course i should buy a 7800, this is the 7800 thread on atariage. but i just wanted to say that after playing asteroids on a 7800 emulator, i have fallen in love with this system. why/how is the asteroids so much better on 7800 compared to the 8 bit, which i already own? i noticed that b&c has/had reconditioned 7800's for $75 without joysticks (don't need em) and 1 game. that seems more than fair compared to ebay prices. finally, there didn't seem to be a difference between 3D asteroids (prototype) and asteroids. is the cart version the same as the rom dump? anyway thanks for listening.

funny update: i bought a castlevania doublepack on ebay and paid for it. then i got this message. We had to remove this listing from the site and you're not required to complete the transaction.

wouldn't it be easier/cheaper to just write all disk images to 3.5" diskettes and use the internal drive? especially those jumbo .NIB files?

I am working on picking up an apple //c+ on craigslist. i had a //c new in 1984, and i would love to get one again. i figure i can use adtpro and some 3.5" floppies formatted correctly to recreate the games i loved as a kid. are there any typical failures i should be concerned about? thank you.

there's an apple //c+ on craigslist near me. i am not sure if this is an actual photo or a stock photo but i am considering calling on it. *** just looked it up on google, and its a stock photo.

update: i found a castlevania doublepack for $19 shipped on ebay. not sure if its a bootleg or what have you, but i am taking a risk on it. oh yeah, its from france.

why don't people clean their carts before attempting to sell them on craigslist? i spent two days trying to meet up with a guy selling a few gba carts for $6 each. when i got there and bought 5, they wouldn't work and there was dirt and nail polish on the backs of the cartridges. i tried 3 of them in my gba sp in the car and they wouldn't boot. i showed the seller and asked for my $28 back. yes, i know i could take them home and clean them with alcohol and a q-tip, but why wouldn't the seller have done this? its not like they were $1-$2 each. it just left a real bad taste in my mouth that (most) people don't take very good care of their things, yet they expect to be paid for them and believe they have value. i had to explain to my 10 year old daughter who was with me that we really don't need other peoples "junk" and just in case you're wondering these were games like spongebob squarepants and teentitans, nothing special.

i remember the kb toys in the mall selling 2600 carts cheap, hell i even saw the jaguar console there, but i didn't realize it's importance. shucks.

that really has to be my next everdrive purchase. thousands of available games to play!

yes, i had all three games too, but unfortunately i got rid of them, but now i want them back

fry's has the wii u on sale today for $269.99 with nintendoland and smw3d

circle of the moon is around $10 on ebay, which would make $20 for the double pack a reasonable price to pay. all things being equal.

i went to my local games 4 u and asked how much it was, cause i saw it in the case, and the owner said, "a lot". hence, i didn't buy it.

what is this gameboy advance cart worth? and why do some people want so much for it? I get that Aria of Sorrow and Harmony of Dissonance are arguably 2 of the best castlevania games, but $80? is that a fair price? have you seen me?

darthkur, you look stoked. to use an 80's term.

i had a 600xl in 1983 with 12 carts and a 19" zenith tv in the living room... oh sorry, i was daydreaming again.

agreed. my daughter already has a chromebook and an ipad which she devotes most of her entertainment time to. that sounds like quite a collection of video game stuff Bill.
