YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! ............

[Jr Pac Man 5200]

How to tell if it's the bug fixed one...suicide with a ghost when a power pellet is being destroyed. If the power pellet stays and you can't finish the board then its the buggy one.

[Arcade series Artworks]

Just 2 words about Donkey Kong ARCADE...

 

 

NOTE:

seeing the wonderful hacks and homebrew games that have been "baked" in the last years and more I wonder why there isn't still a "full version" of DK ! I know it could certainly be better, or at least more arcade-perfect, even than the ColecoVision's !!!

 

[ UPDATE - modified ]close view of the screen on the back of the box

 

Is this FOR REAL? I'd like to see a video of this on youtube!

[Plug n Play with Computer Monitor]

Any TV capture device with audio/video inputs that allow you to watch TV on your PC will work.

[Mysterious Cart Behavior]

Loose screw inside the cart probably.

[Atari 2600 Zookeeper NTSC]

Wonder007...did someone run up to you claiming they had a Zookeeper proto?

[A Magnavox Odyessy ONE Found!]

It looks like someone is buying it...stopped by today to see if it was still there.

 

It IS a BLAK unit...so a first run. It had the game cards #1 to #6 and #8 with it.

[40th Anniversary of the Magnavox Odyessy ONE!]

The marketplace thread got a lot of comments...seems there's a few that want to get it.

Dunno if they ship...but had one person thinking I own the thing...which I am not the owner. You'll have to call them to see if they still have it if you are going to buy it.

[A Magnavox Odyessy ONE Found!]

I pulled out the Digitpress Collectors Guide...the case alone apparently is worth 100 bucks.

[The Ugliest Looking Game System Ever!]

Hey look at this -- http://news.bbgsite.com/content/2010-04-19/top10_ugly_game_consoles,1.shtml

[40th Anniversary of the Magnavox Odyessy ONE!]

Oh I guess someone did a write up on it...

[40th Anniversary of the Magnavox Odyessy ONE!]

Since this is a for sale item, its in the appropriate space...but stop to consider, this year is the 40th anniversary of the Odyssey One. The release date of this system was in 1972 as the copyright date on the box says. I was in awe to find this unit, dunno if it works or not, but to find this thing in the wild complete with everything in a case is a pretty amazing find don't you think? Surprising I haven't seen much talk about this milestone.

[A Magnavox Odyessy ONE Found!]

Found this today at the Buy Sell & Trade store on North Grand & MacArthur Blvd in Springfield, IL - this complete Odyssey ONE can be yours for $150.00.

 

I'm not the seller, but I saw this today, and wanted to share it here in case anyone is looking this 40 year old game system ... which I assume anyone who has a gaming museum of some sort would probably want to add this to their collection.

 

Buy Sell & Trade is a non-clothing thrift store...there's a lot of odd stuff in there that you'll not see elsewhere.

[Lost Atari 5200 protoype]

It may be no more than a tech demo.

[Pink Panther Prototype]

I suspect this flew under the radar cause I did a search on a whim. This was posted in November.

 

[Caine's Arcade]

I just didn't get it...

[Some A8,TI, and Colecovision protos and some questions...]

 

Hmmm...strange game this is...killer light bulbs heading for your brain!

[Star Castle (VIDEO) play-testers needed]

Ahem....now...my reaction to the posting of THIS version of Star Castle coming outta nowhere...

 

 

HOLY CRAP! Someone else took this challenge on! Wonder what Scott thinks of this second version of the game to pop up?

[Star Castle (VIDEO) play-testers needed]

But I'm getting pretty tired of people who aren't able to praise this version without backhandedly bashing the other.

I don't think anybody has criticized Scott's game.

 

Actually that would be quite impossible (and unfair) by now, since AFAIK nobody has been able to play it yet.

 

Nobody? How about the person who posted the video of Scott's Star Castle....namely...ME!

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

Bought other things but these were the diamonds pulled out of the rough...

[2012 Midwest Gaming Classic March 24-25]

Once again...as crowded as it was it needs extended another day and should go back to the roomier Oconowomac.

Que?

[Need to borrow 5200 Cart Dumper]

Hey Tempest...any more updates to atariprotos.com coming from this set of finds?

[Pac-Land]

I couldn't make it past the jump board either...until I read a walkthrough on how to use it correctly. Jump on the board then button mash the run button until you land.
