i would kill to play on a vectrex now... one of my mates had one when i was young and i remember spending huge amounts of time playing minestorm........... ahhhh theyare pretty expensive to buy on ebay and there aint much of them here in aus....i really want on though............

the only reason im not getting a c64 for my collection is the worry of reliablity issues. i would love to have one as i used to own one with about 200+ disks in the late 80's and early 90's.....

which basically limits u to the most basic games like pac man , space invader and the like.... dont even think about sf2, double dragon or anything made after say 1986

mame on DC is slow...so slow that any game rom over 100k has severe problems........

just as everyone was gettitng ataris and c64, my parents bought me a commodore c16....... grrrrrrrrr... the damn thing was sooo bad, there was just about no software for it and any that was was sooo bad........i traded it in on a c64 later....

i have a boxed PAL jr with the original allblack vader style controlls.... surprisingly ive never seen the d pad like pads until now???? i never saw them in the shops in australia....weird eh?

just wondering, is PAL motorodeo worth anything? is it any where near the rarity of the ntsc version?

those darn NTSC collectors are going to schnavell everything up from here

surprisingly the following pal spectravision carts fetched a recently high price on ebay: Bumber Bash - Au$169 Gas Hog - AU$110 Master Builder - AU$76 these were all boxed, im happy as i already own a master buillder cart which i got in a atari and 20 games package for AU$33....

good stuff De_vo... u must have quite an impressive collection.....

hmmmm my game gear seems to ficker for about 5 mins when first turned on, with no contrast adjustability, and then it goes ok. whats wrong here?

yes there is a LOT of SMS stuff over here in australia as it was quite popular here.....

yeah, in australia they were sold all the way into the 90's. i remember seeing them in kmart in 92-93 for about $30 and laughing at them. ( now i wish i bought one lol ) they seized production of them in the US in 1989 ? i think also the 128 in 1 console wuld have been released in the 90's in aus also. nice to hear from people from australia

for the intelliviosion, i use bliss32 or nostalgia (thats the names of the emulators ) but for these ull need a copy of the bios rom and graphics rom. (called exec.bin and grom.bin) for collecovision i use VColecoWin_211A. www.planetemu.net

today i scored : Psycho Fox - Sega Master System California games - SMS My HERO - SMS Shadow of the beast - SMS and Sega Rally - Sega dreamcast.........

surprising that a loose cart coulb be worth soo much.... i wonder how much my loose master builder pal cart is worth?

i kinda wish i never sold off my n64 with zelda not long ago......

adventure is awesome

wow this cart just sold for an unbelievable AU$139.36 Winning bid: AU $139.26 Ended 15-Apr-04 18:38:49 AEST You are invited to bid on an ultra rare chance to own a copy of Magnia for the 2600. This is rated 10 out of 10 for rarity on atariage.com and is one of the hardest games you are every likley to locate. It follows the story of a kid who has to eat everything his mother puts on the plate for him. Pasta after more pasta eating earning more and more points. What a chance is this to own the infamous Mangia game... [/img]

hunt around for the atari 128-1 built in, they are still found boxed here in australia and dont cost too much...........

fark

good score

hey CPU WIZ,,,, is that pick from monty pythons 'Life of Brian'?

i tried to get all the crap out of my coleco but also could not succed in openning the case, i thought it may break if i pulled any harder hehe.... i did find a few easter chokkie wrappers in there though,,,,

i just had an idea....... since the atari controllers work on my coleco, i will try to plug in my coleco controller nto the atari and play star raiders as i dont have the video touch pad..... hang on a sec......... DAMN in dont work!!!!!!!!! which is odd as i get more response when i plug in a sega megadrive controller in port 2 (still cant play though ) which is a shame actually as ive been hanging to play star raiders for bloody LONG tome now...hehe
