I can't afford to branch out into PAL territory....

What's sad is my copy of Gunslinger also has a bad endlabel... Also, I am not advertising anyones ebay auctions,I just happen to see that is was listed at $200.

Mine is just the cartridge of the Sears picture label version of Gunslinger.It just sold on ebay for around $200.

Earthworld and Fireworld should be avoided,unless you like to be spectacularly disapointed.

I have spent hundreds of dollars to get a few boxed games to fill in those I am missing.The problem with this hobby is once you get all the common stuff, the rest gets pretty expensive and takes longer to aquire, unless you win the lottery or something.

Here are some controllers (on the top shelf)that have been painted that I got from e(vil)bay.

Thanks for the great trip back in time to see that again.Those were the days when packaging meant something.Too bad mine has been sitting smashed flat in some dump for over 20 years.

What about Bumper Bash?

If you are going to get Bender involved,"Must kill all humans!"

Hey, sign me up for a standard edition,if that is possible at this late date. Looks like I'm way to late for the boxed edition.

We should add that the young kids at the vidio game store will remind you that you are old when they call you ,"Sir." I got my first "Sir" at age 35;that's when I knew it was downhill from there. Should also add that we are all old enough to know that we will be keeping our old TV sets around ,once everything goes digital, just to play the old game systems.

Looks like a lot of responsible CC users here. I just pay mine off every month, except for once when the USPS lost my bill one month.Thank you USPS for that $60 fine!

http://www.thegameconsole.com/ Read this site to compare other units that were realeased the same year as the VCS.A few were still displaying games in black and white.

Since I can not program any games myself, the answer for me is, all of the homebrews are the best. I keep getting amazed at the quality of the new/retro products being made;even some of the hacks.

Sent my money also.$90 isn't much considering that a game back in the day was $69 without any 'personalized' items;hell we didn't even know who programmed them!

It's too bad the crash came along and killed the third game they were planning a controller for. I've seen the ad for it somewhere on the forums here, but am too lazy to look it up...

$100 sounds fair. My only problem will be if you only accept pay-pal, then I won't be paying a dime.

Maybe it's because I ordered too much and got all the magnets and three extra...sorry!

I'm going to second this,for the back in the day game; the sound effects still ring in my ears too after all these years. As for the newest homebrews.Stella's Stockings intro/gameselect screen blew me away. Also Robot Tank and Enduro for the day and night and seasons effects were very cool back then.

My hometown had two 'arcades',three movie theatre arcades, and all the other eateries that had games.And that was just the north end of Fremont,CA.I'm sure there were more that my ten-speed could not get me to.

Just think!!! If someone seals them up....some poor fool will buy it!!! They may even leave the cart out of it....and he'll never know, because he'll never open it!! Now you know where all those extra Combat carts are going to end up!

Wish I had PayPal.All the good auction items seem to require having paypal only payment option. I also did not get the original batch due to, you guessed it;not having a paypal account....

I donated the scan for the picture label version of Gunslinger.I have very few boxes and am still looking to get about seven more picture label carts.I would not want to know how much money CincYnoTi has spent to get all those boxes!

:rolling: This reminds me of a story from many years ago ,when I got up way too early to go to work and in a still waking up daze ,I said,"Step-headed red child".Of course my boss was on the floor laughing and never forgot to remind me of the foul up. Now back on topic.I am tempted to start getting Sears boxed games,just because of the different pictures on the boxes,but wonder how much it will eventually cost.I have to also agree with the Tigervision box art being very cool.About four years ago I got a boxed copy of Espial for .99!

Don't temp me with that mission to kill the Tramiels....I voted to go back and get everthing on the cheap.
