    Weird!

     

    Maybe I ate the salmon? LOL. Is your cart have a standard white Hozer label? I think the 4K version would say BETA on it, but I'm not sure...

    Hmmm...

    There are both 4k and 8k versions, but isn't the goal to give the rose back to the king? Maybe it just has a lame ending?

     

    The last thing I do is give the artist the black paint and he then paints a rose and gives it to me, but I can do anything after that... any hints dark stan???

    Wow, My range is from FREE to around $500(only once). My average is probably around $5-10 per cart...

     

    BTW Moycon...

    J+J's Flea in Athens has a vendor with a large, but mostly common stash of carts for a buck each. Unfortunately (for us, not him) he knows which to eBay!

     

    It's funny, he used to have a videogame store off Jimmy Carter blvd near 85, back when I was first really getting into collecting (around 93-94) and he didn't stock any atari stuff...

    My folks got an Atari VCS in the early 80's pre-crash(1981?), but after they came down in price. I remember having Pac-man, Frogger and Championship Soccer. I later got a VIC-20 a few years later which led to a C-64 -> Amiga 500 -> Amiga 2000. I still played the Atari often until I left for College in 1992...

    Many of my 2600 games were bought in the store new (at post crash prices). I bought a Lynx when they went down in price. I sold the Lynx later to get a Jaguar. I then sold the Jaguar for a Genesis/32x setup when Checkered Flag sucked and Doom locked up on my unit. I had a Colecovision for awhile but sold off the games after the system died. I slowly got into more systems after they were dead or dying over time.

     

    Summary:

    Atari 2600 (new) -> unit died replaced w/ 2600jr

    Vic-20 -> C-64

    Amiga 500 (new) -> Amiga 2000 (new)

    Lynx (new) -> Jaguar -> Genesis/32x combo

    Sega CD

    Playstation -> Playstation 2 (new)

    N64 (new)

    Dreamcast (new)

    Jap Hello Kitty Dreamcast (new)-> Turbo Duo w/ Turbo Express

     

     

    Bought later: NES, SNES, replacement Jag, Jag CD, Saturn, Gameboy Color, 3D0, replacement Lynx

     

    Cheers,

    I've tried hacking Sprintmaster too, but you need one byte of RAM to remember the previous state of the driving controller. Unfortunately I coundn't find any.

     

    Bummer Thomas!

    I'm impressed that you've already tinkered with the idea though...

    Howdy,

    How hard would it be to hack atari games to use different controllers?

     

    Specifically paddle controllers for Off the Wall, and driving controllers for Sprintmaster. Both of these games would benefit greatly from having the 'proper' controller instead of the joystick.

     

    My hat's off to anyone up to the challenge!

    I like Enduro and Grand Prix a lot, particularly for their sense of speed. Night Driver is good too. Sprintmaster could have been great if it recognized driving controllers...

     

    As far as other systems go, I like:

    Super Cycle, Fast Tracks, Great American Cross Country Road Race [C64]

    Test Drive 1&2, Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge 1&3 [Amiga]

    Outrun, Super Sprint, Hard/Race Drivin' [arcade]

    Virtua Racing [32x]

    Rally Cross, Gran Turismo [PS1]

    San Fransisco Rush, Beetle Adventure Racing [N64]

    and Ridge Racer V[PS2]

     

    Cheers,
