Sounds like a new mold was made, thus making the carts slightly larger;or they were so cheap that they just 'retouched'/polished/ground-down the old molds, once again making the carts bigger.China has been making crappy molded parts since the early 80's.Companies are bringing their molds back to the USA from China to try to fix them nowdays;They saved/made a bunch of money going overseas and now they are paying big bucks to fix their mistake.Of course, the politicians that 'endorse' trade with China never 'lost' any money,as people lost jobs...

It's no wonder that the E.T. carts are buried in Nevada;they'll take anything--gambling,above ground/open-air nuke tests,and now they are taking all the nuke waste!And they host the Classic Gaming Expo.What a state!

Wow. 'Bump'N Jump' & 'Pong Sports'Sears version both put me back $40+.Living rural I don't even try the garage sales...
-
How about the worst companies being the ones that just pirated/copied/ripped-off games, without ever making any original concept games at all.
I must agree with all that Mythicon is the worst company 'claiming' to have good original games.

I posted my link before looking at the 2600 hardware webpage here at atariage.Thanks for the correction and the tip;I'm mow watching that auction...

Yeah, crowns are a 'pain', but it's gold right?It's sort of like having permanent jewelry in your mouth--until the crown falls out-which it will someday.
(now before this goes off-topic)
Thrust is expensive&very popular at this time, but worth every penny.

The rarest Indy 500 item to get is the sears version of a complete boxed set(game box+driver controller box)<--Correct me if I'm wrong here.
The Tramiels sure could not keep things straight then;but made messed up label variants for us to collect later.

I will enjoy having the 'back-to-school pak' in my collection!
This was one of those 'sleeper' auctions that you had to read to see what it really was.When the 'racing pak' comes up for auction, I'll be there...

AtariAge.com is such a good site that this Odyssey 2 site has been re-tooled with a new database simular to the ones found here.

I agree with Albert that X3VOLuX is the 'better' of the two hacks;just from the description of the two games here at atariage, I only bought X3VOLuX.It's a basic shooter game with a weird scoring system.
-
Several of the message board people here have a white label space shuttle that is NTSC format and will play on US/Canada TV's.So it's always worthwhile to get the white label carts to see which type they really are.
-
You do have a label variant!And getting it off of ebay is just luck; nobody lists this label variant(more than half the time the end label is not even photographed)--you would just have to buy a lot of vidio pinball games until this one showed up.

This will bring up the current auctions.

I just started buying boxed games,and must write that ebay can be a pain for label/box variants just because you can not see the fine print on these items(if a picture is posted), unless the seller spells out exactly what it is.I have the silver label variants/release dates listed on my want lists, but it gets confusing.All in all, it opens up a new door to 'collecting'.I will also endorse Tom Young on ebay--most of the carts I'vs gotten with good labels come from him.

So, how much lint will it take to get a copy of Jawbreaker?
I actually like the game;plays better than pac-man...
-
Are these maps still on-line?Can someone please post a link.I already figured out the flying off the screen/messing up the count trick--this game is picky.

Coleco
in Atari 2600
http://www.cgexpo.com/news.html
Looks like the cgexpo people are trying to line up some former Coleco employees.Here's your chance to 'praise' them or 'raze' them for the 'inferior' 2600 games.
To keep with the thread-I like Roc N Rope, just because it's so darn hard to control.
-
I hope the site comes back, it was cool.Every time I see a thread about these old protos and copyrights, I just have to laugh--how can people get bent out of shape over 20+ year old 4K games?
-
It looks like some people that want something for nothing need to look up the definition of 'Capitalism' in a dictionary.My next order/purchase from Hozer Vidio already has Gunfight at the top of the list...

I am planning to attend the Classic Gaming Expo at the Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas.My question is this-is the Plaza Hotel nice to stay at,and is it just more convienyant to stay there anyway to attend the Expo?Did people that stayed there last year have a good experience staying at the Plaza Hotel?

Want to buy an Arcade Machine...But how?
in Arcade and Pinball
Posted
OUCH! Only a year ago these arcade games were going for $500, now they want $1600 reserve prices.If you know electronics and could piece these games back together, you could do it much cheaper;but if you are like me,and don't know jack,then you gotta pay for the fully assembled & functional game...You can piece together these by buying the electronic boards/inst manuals/side art/button overlays/joystick-button units/cabinets...then put it all together.Good luck!
