  1. I tried a few even though we all expect them to fail. Found at least one surprise. Are all NTSC original carts. Original Releases ✅ Espial - was listed on the latest PDF as untested Homebrew ✅ Bigfoot Family Search ✅ Conjoined ❌ Galagon ✅ Melbourne Tatty ✅ Reindeer Rescue ✅ Spies in the Night ❌ Stay Frosty 2 ✅ Toyshop Trouble - worked great. I only played up to day 3 during the test. ❌ Turbo
  2. ❌ Robot Tank (NTSC blue label ver.) - fails for me. Game loads but shows rolling outline of hud menu and no input is accepted. Some homebrews I tested while I was at it ✅ Cat Trax ✅ Fall Down ✅ Ladybug (original 2006 ver.) ❌ The Byte Before Christmas - "Loads" but just goes to blank screen.
  3. One more bump before it goes to ebay. I dropped the asking price considering recent sales seem to be trending downward.
  4. Bought 2 Dreamcast games from Kier over the last few months (first one involved a trade) and everything was packed well and arrived safe and sound. Games were is great shape. Thanks again!
  5. This is good to know, I'd been thinking of finally pulling the trigger on the RetroTink for its other capabilities and it sounds like it's pretty on par with Framemeister these days. Is there a list of the games with weird sync timings compiled anywhere? The only one I can recall at the moment is Warlords. I have a few very nice tube tvs! But I really want to start a tradition if playing the Christmas games in the living room on our main TV with the family (Stella's Stocking, The Byte Before Christmas, etc) and those I believe all use extra chips and/or are not available in rom form, so seems to me like my only option is real hardware. Yeah this was my understanding as well, it already sounds like an amazing device that can do a lot, so no complaints from me. I have been tempted to do an s-video mod and run that through an upscaler, as it still produces decent quality (this is what I do for my CD-i) but I've heard really mixed results and honestly haven't had time to research - is UAV s-video pretty well regarded?
  6. I got a box of 4 NOS 5200 controllers several years ago and they had a date of 1987 on them.
  7. Bump for new pricing info since I'm not getting any trade interest.
  8. I've been out of the loop for a while a decided to look into finally buying one of these. Unfortunately looks like they out if stock indefinitely on Tim's site? Am I SOL? The 7800GD should help me play most of the library in RGB, but seems like I need real hardware to play some of the more advanced homebrew like Stella's Stocking.
  9. UPDATE 7/17/2023: I'm not getting any bites on the trade front, which I would still prefer, but since what I'm looking for is pretty specific, I'd be willing to instead sell this for $120 $90 Shipped to the continental US. Given recent CIB sales on eBay I feel like this seems like a fair price. You don't have to pay tax and get "free" shipping, and I don't have to give ebay their 12% cut, win/win. Original Post Purchased used but has probably only been booted up by me maybe 3 times the last 10 years. Discs are in excellent shape as is the box. Includes all the ephemera and ads, even the digital pictures tattoo. I will include plastic box protector as well. I'd prefer trades but might sell for the right price. I'm looking for: Most Dreamcast games from the list below (complete copies only) that are currently going for around $100, or possibly two in the $35-50 range depending on the games. https://cloud.collectorz.com/robbievgb/games?collectionStatus=wish-list&viewType=list&folder=1&filterValue=18 Feel free to ask any questions.
  10. Is Anne Willan Presents the Food of France that rare or is the price so high because it's sealed? Genuinely curious because I dont keep up with the CD-i market and I have a copy I bought years ago (which i think was also sealed NOS) for $25. EDIT: Holy Crap I just saw one sold on ebay for $400. I should've bought a second one. Also, this lovely collection, hope it finds a good home.
  11. Wow, just saw this, sorry for the necro bump. $175 shipped. About $100 of that was shipping and packaging costs.
  12. Some years ago (good lord, 6 now I guess!) I posted about a haul I got on OfferUp that included some pretty rare games. These were, as you can tell, all in ROUGH shape and some were even covered or stained in motor oil. They had been sitting in this guys garage for who knows how long. As you can see one of them was Espial, which I just recently purchased a replacement label for from the wonderful @pboland The problem is I have now have cold feet on removing the very damaged original label, given this is the most valuable game in my 2600 collection. Does having the original label, even though most of it is not there anymore and flaking off with each passing moment, make it more valuable than if I put a nice clean one on it? I wanted to the get opinion from collectors and see what the general thoughts are on this and if anyone else has wrestled with this. I have no plans to sell this any time soon, or at all for that matter, but if I ever were to, I wouldn't want the authenticity to come into question. Should I take photos of the pcb before I apply the new label? Maybe a replacement label is better because I can take it off and open up the cart to prove authenticity without worrying about destroying the value even more? Again just looking for some other perspectives.
  13. Just what the title says. I'm not looking for an amazing deal, I just figured I'd have a better chance of getting one that actually works if I buy from someone here. Maybe you're good and fixing or repairing these? If so I can throw in non-working 1541-II (w/ power supply if so desired) as part of the transaction.
