It looks like a whole run of PAL Solaris carts were mislabeled as NTSC ones. I think Atari quality control was somewhat below par in the late 80's. I wonder exactly how may "messed up" Solaris carts were produced. I wonder if our PAL " brothers in Atari" got a bunch of NTSC carts?

Hey Mike, Once again, thanks for the deal. I sent payment to you through PayPAl. My PayPal accont is a different email account then I use here. Please check your PayPal account to confirm receiving the payment. Other people here will benefit from this deal too. I plan to trade away the duplicates to those AtariAgers that need them.

Yes, I think Stan is right. Well, I think that is how the label on the North American version looks. It was probably a lack of quality control on the assembly line. I might have an extra NTSC version of Solaris I could trade to you if you need it I'll check out my extras sometime tonight.

MacGurl, Well, I'll have some duplicates: Pac-Man Super Breakout Space Dungeon Galaxian Defender If you have any 5200 duplicates, I'll trade you. Or, I would trade them for 2600, 7800, Sega Genesis, or Game Gear carts I don't have. I am specifically looking for Genesis games action/platformer types. I only have a couple so I would trade for just about any Genesis game(except sports). Of course, I can't trade them till I get them.

Humm? Is the picture on the label black and white or is it color?

It does sound like the behavior of a PAL cart on NTSC tv. Did any of the other carts in the same box exhibit this behavior?

Thanks for your support, MacGurl! I was thinking that exactly. I thought a couple of people were rather rude, but, I didn't want to fight over the games. I like that this board is peaceful and everyone is (usually) respectful towards each other. I only have 3 carts for my 5200 and have never found ANY in the wild. Getting these carts from Mike will really help me out. I really do appreciate his offer.

hattg, Sorry, I wish I could provide some information but I can't. I actually have a Sega NOMAD that has been modified to accept UK/Japan MegaDrive games as well as the usual Sega Genesis carts. I really have no idea what power supply you may need. You should probably start a topic in the Classic Gaming Section. I am sure there is someone here that could answer your question.

There was an Atari 2800 on eBay in March. I posted a topic about it. Here is the link to my post. http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.p...der=asc&start=0 I think a couple members from this board were bidding on it. I don't know if anyone here won it though.

I am looking for a complete boxed copy of Radar Lock. I have a complete boxed copy of Sprint Master that I would like to trade for it. Both these games have an equal rarity here(a 4). So if anyone has an extra boxed copy of Radar Lock and needs a Boxed copy of Sprint Master, let me know!

I am looking for action/platformer type Genesis or Mega Drive games. I believe I can use both NTSC and PAL carts on my modded system. So, I am open to trades with those members outside the US too. I have 2600(boxed and loose) carts and some 7800(boxed and loose) carts that I could trade for the Genesis/MegaDrive games. I also have some DreamCast games(used and new,sealed) that I would trade too. I can give you a list if you are interested. I also have a WonderSwan(complete in box) with 3 games, all complete in box. I would trade this but only for a good deal. Please post here, email me, or PM me if you want to work something out.

Well, I can't speak for anyone but myself: 1. I don't have the manual. 2. I had no reason to suspect it could be played with two joysticks because I wasn't that interested in the original arcade version.

Oh, OK! I just recently got a 7800. I really knew very little about it when it originally came out. It(the 7800) came out during that brief period in my life when I thought I was "too old" for video games. So, I never paid any attention to any advertising related to it at that time. What the heck was I thinking? I think now that I know you can use two controllers, I will probably like it more.

I would have to agree with the comment about spliting up the file a bit. I am, unfortunately, on a 56k connection. I would like to hear the interview, but, its seems like the file size is a bit too large. I know that this is my problem, but, it would be nice to download in smaller size files. I could then download(over a period of time) and listen to everything that might interest me and avoid that which might not. This is not a criticism, just my point of view.

Uh, OK? Sorry if I offended anyone with that remark!?

Good idea! Thanks for the information too. I never knew you could use two controllers to play!

Wow, that was fast! Thank you for the information.

christianscott said: How did you add a pin adapter to it? I have one with the famicom slot and I would like to play some NES carts with it. Could you give me a brief explanation(or direct me to some directions on the net)?

Stan, cool contest! My guess would be this: Entombed

Please send me an email or PM so we can work out the details. It would be nice to have some new games for my 5200. I only have 3.

$10.00 plus shipping for them? If thats the deal I'll take them. Would you ship them USPS Media Mail(its cheap)?

I was wondering how long it was going to be before some numbskull tried that here. On the plus side, I have been a member for a year( and lurking for much longer) and this is the first time I've seen this here.

I would be interested in a set, as long as the labels work out as being less then a $1 each. Well, as long as the set costs less then finding Activision carts with good labels.

Here is a scan of the controller. They are funky.

It is meant as a replacement for the standard Atari joystick. It should work with any game requiring a standard joystick. Oh by the way, you need to push down on the joystick to fire, jump, etc.
