That Lipstick controller was originally released in the US by Access for the C64 game Echelon. All it did was replace the fire button with a microphone. The marketing showed these kids speaking "fire!" into the mic, but in fact, it would respond to any sound that it picked up - it was basically useless. After a time, it was no longer even bundled with the game, as it was never required for gameplay in the first place. I have no idea if it was released elsewhere in the world, or if it was also released as an official 2600 controller. It would certainly work - they have the same pinout, but I don't think they ever pushed an Atari "version". Could be wrong about that though. Can you imagine some kid playing Space Invaders with that thing? "fire . . fire . . fire . . fire . . fire . . fire . . fire . . fire . . fire . . fire . . "

Sears picture Baseball in this one
crunchysuperman replied to crunchysuperman's topic in Auction Central
Didn't even notice that MC. It's definately not a Sears label, and not even any Atari label that I've seen (they don't have red text). There's a PAL re-release missing the controler text (I've never seen it though) - maybe it's that. -
Not mine.

Why not end it Sunday? I always thought that was the best time For whatever reason, stuff that ends on Sunday usually goes cheap. Search the forums & you'll see several threads about with examples.

Excluding Pac-Man and ET, which is the worst game?
crunchysuperman replied to HP Atari King of Michigan's topic in Atari 2600
What's funny is that despite most folks loathing them, ET & Pac-Man are usually the titles sellers will put in the auction description for cartridge lots on Ebay that contain them. -
Don't end it on Sunday. Middle of the week should do you just fine.

For the most part, for me, no pictures or stock pictures = no interest & no bid.

Which of the "Holy Grail" games you want the most?
crunchysuperman replied to HP Atari King of Michigan's topic in Atari 2600
Other than what was discussed in that auction thread, no. You had that email from the seller & it all seemed legit enough to me. I really doubt it's some elaborate homemade fake, as too few people ever knew anything about it. If it were a deliberate deception, they would've pimped the "ooo, ahh - ultra rare [email protected]@@k!!" in the auction for all it was worth. SSK won it & I've emailed him about it, so maybe we'll get some answers. -

crunchysuperman replied to zixven's topic in Auction Central
Perhaps the "new" sticker was on some of each. -

For what it's worth, the PAL box scan here on AA does not have the "new" on it, so that might back this statement up, assuming the box scan is correct. -
Compiling lists of Atari, Corp. (re-release) label variants
crunchysuperman replied to Christophero Sly's topic in Atari 2600
Yup, I have both PAL Millipede red labels -
I have an RCA 26" that's about 10 years old that works just fine with PAL carts - no color difference or anything. Plug them into a 13" Magnavox I have that's a few years older & they roll. Haven't tried my plasma yet - maybe I should.

Atariguide shows another PAL Battlezone not listed on your red list. It's actually more of a brown label than anything really. I've never been able to find one though. -

Commodore SX-64 - Partly working. PS2 not working
crunchysuperman replied to oldgames's topic in Auction Central
Sure did, on top of the unit - I've had one for years. The cassette port was the only one it didn't replicate from the original 64. I modded mine with JiffyDOS, a drive reset & device number switches, & I was going to eventually add a 3.5" drive to that extra space, but I never got around to it. I still drag it out every now & then (emphasis on drag ) -
Just got a Commodore 64 ; Now what?
crunchysuperman replied to Steppenwolffan21's topic in Commodore 8-bit Computers
The 64 had a very large following in Europe long after it had died in the states, and cassette drives were still widely used. -
Legacy of the Ancients > all Times of Lore was fun too.
