not any more. I found those last weekend. look for them next week on ebay. I already have my heading planned - "EXTREMELY RARE - LOST AND MISSING FOR 2O YEARS. E.T. BACK FROM ITS UNDERGROUND GRAVE."

I figured I would bid on it with the chance of getting something decent. there was no pics of any of it so I didn't bid much. well I won it. anyone want to place bets on if the stuff is in good/bad shape?

31.00 is alot for 2 used Gemstick controllers, isn't it? am I missing something here?

I would agree on this part. I have been to a few flea markets/second hand stores and whenever I enquire about any cart the first thing they do is login to these sites and then do the(example): "WOW, thats a rarity of 3. those games are extremely hard to come by. I can't go any lower than say 15.00"(for any cart-it doesn't matter which 1).

and he's selling it for 2.00. he's going to make a killing on this.

I wonder if he wondered why the system didn't quite look like the one on the box

I just came across this and it seems extremely high priced with the bidding: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...MEBWA%3AIT&rd=1 someone must really want those.

yeah, I want to add more games to my list. I posted what I already have. I'm trying to build up my collection to try to reach as many diff. games as I can. I figure I'll start with the cheaper ones first.

this is currently what I have: asteroids air sea battle amidar astroblast atlantis adventures of tron air raiders baseball - text battlezone breakout bowling barnstorming berzerk carnival circus atari crystal castles casino canyon bomber crossbow - red lable chopper command combat commando raid cosmic ark dragster deadly duck donkey kong demons to diamonds defender defender 2 - red lable demon attack e.t. encounter at l-5 empire strikes back frogger fast eddie freeway frontline gorf galaxian gunslinger human cannonball haunted house indy 500 ice hockey jungle hunt joust jr. pac-man kaboom keystone kapers kangaroo laserblast lock 'n chase missile command ms. pac-man mousetrap - red label midnight magic - red label maze craze moon patrol night driver othello pac-man pitfall plaque attack phoenix q-bert q-bert - red label river raid return of the jedi raiders of the lost ark race realsports baseball & tennis space shuttle slot racers - 2 diff. labels star raiders super cobra sentinel solaris starmaster surround space chase street racer superman sorcerer speedway II space invaders - diff. labels sky jinks spider fighter super challenge baseball super breakout stampede target fun 64 telegames - hyperspace & thrust control 10 telegames - capture video chess video olympics video pinball venture vanguard yars revenge sorry the list was so long. I didn't know a better way to post this. thanks.

thanks for the replies. I should also add that I am using XP Pro.

I have been using StellaX v.1.1.2 for a few days and I really like how easy it is to use. I would like to use z26 because of all the extras it has(from what I've been reading here). is there a way to have this work the same way as Stella does for me now? for stella all I have to do is click the shortcut I created on my desktop and select a game. my wife also likes the simplicity of how it works. any help would be great. thanks.

will this work with StellaX v.1.1.2 software?

one more question - when you add .bin files how do you add all the info - like the name, manufacturer, rarity?

great. thanks. is it possible to use a controller of some sort on these? sorry if these are dumb questions but I only found out about emulators today.

thanks. I d/l it now before I run/install it, is there anything I should do 1st? or do I just unzip it and it's ready to go?

what link?

will this run under XP? edit: the d'l link doesn't work.

I would like to get an emulator and try to find some of the more rare games that I will prob. never own in a cart. where can I go for this?

I just picked up a Mindscape Powerplayers joystick for $7.49. it's a mint, brand new and still sealed piece. here is a link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...MEBWN%3AIT&rd=1

most of the stuff is or will be used. of course all 3 adam systems aren't being used. I have 1 standalone system hooked up in my spare bedroom. the other standalone is being saved as a backup. this goes the same for the Odyssey systems. some of the stuff of course is just impulse buys. all of the games will get used. I'm trying to get all the games I used to have as a kid back in my collection. and can you really ever have too many controllers? I got pretty good prices on most of this stuff. for example I only paid 35.00 for 1 of the complets adam standalone systems.

UPDATE: since my last post I have added the following to my collection: 2 complete ADAM standalone systems 1 ADAM Colecovision add on system 1 coleco atari adapter 3 colecovision units/controllers for parts 1 Odyssey 2 system(attached controllers) complete/boxed with 12 boxed games 1 Odyssey 2 system(removable control) complete/boxed with 15 games 1 Odyssey 2 system(removable control) complete/boxed with 12 boxed games 1 Atari 2600 system with 17 games 1 Wico command joystick with different type of stick 1 boxed Wico command bat stick 1 sealed copy of Pitfall for colecovision 1 sealed copy of a PAL sentiel for 7800 Atari XE lightgun 3 genstick controllers 1 slickstick around 30 more loose carts 3 boxed games and I'm still looking for more. I really need help.

I was wondering if you can still find brand new controllers such as the Gemstick at any local/online stores?

Is this at all a rare controller? I usually just see the bat style.

alright, how many of you are asking him for pics? I figured I'd ask him for some pics of this 500.00 system to see what it looked like and he told me he has to take some because he's already recieved tons of emails about pics.
