I've seen a Colecovision Mario Bros. over $1000 also, lol. Do these sellers honestly think they can have an unsuspecting buyer come buy and say I will buy that no matter the cost? Gotta love Ebay...

Got mine today and it sounds like mine are the same as most who ordered! Mountain King was silver label with sheet instructions and no box inserts. Remaining 4 had gold labels and instructions with box inserts. Thanks to Luc and Ozma for making this happen!

Received mine yesterday also. Cart color is fantastic, great job to all involved in this release!

Looks n sounds great! Great job!

Just ordered a pair of 5200 Controller Extension Cables ($12 each) and a Track N Field Controller from Best Electronics... Oredered over phone on Tuesday, received order today, Thursday! Best Electronics is highly recommended!!

Thanks for the update!

Have these been shipped? Nothing as of yet...

Any updates on this?

I think you missed a few forums to cross post your request...try the Pro Wrestling forum someone may help you there LMAO...

Pacfan97 no doubt, lol...

If you break items up, Id be interested in Kessel Attack...

Its mine! Thanks Steve...

Count me in for a copy Bob! Great work as always...

Payment made, thanks to all involved in this release!

Also too, Atari botched the releases of the 2600 add-on and the trackball. This fumbling allowed Coleco to get their peripherals out ahead of the 5200's. Thus, losing many customers to the colecovision. Very poor marketing by Atari back in the 80's...

I recall, at the beginning of the great video game crash, the 5200 was about to overtake the cv as far as sales goes. Had they stuck it out, n released Tempest, Track n Field, Millipede, Battlezone, etc, who knows what might of happened...

pm sent...

Received mine yesterday also... Thanks Curt for getting it resolved!

Any update on the whereabouts of these carts Curt? Thanks...

Haven't seen Ziggystar around in awhile? Just wondering if anymore of the Mean Hampster carts are gonna be re-released?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If someone can show me an ad or other verifiable proof that the yellow boxes were first, I'll change my tune and eat crow. But when you look at companies like Classic Game Source still selling yellow boxes, and mind you they are fresh and minty with no yellowing-- odd for a box 25 years old-- to me it seems pretty obvious which ones are the most current releases. Top that with the ad I posted, and Max's assertion that the cases of silver games themselves are verified shipping dates from 1984, I still stand by my opinion that the silver boxes were first. I'll also concede that it is possible that they started with yellow, went to silver, and then back to yellow-- but I'm convinced that the plethora of yellow box games available today (ebay and other sources) are produced AFTER the silver boxes. But again, I've yet to see PROOF either way. All I can go on is personal experience. I was 15 at the time and when the first four Sunrise games were released through the 1983 calendar year and I bought them, the boxes were yellow and the labels of the carts were gold in color. I actually never had a chance to buy Mountain King where I lived (surprising for a big city) and didn't come across this one until a number of years later. When I saw the silver box and grey label, I assumed this was a TeleGames re-release... which it wasn't. PM sent Luc...

We all need therapy, lol...

thank you. Ok, youve been vindicated, we hear your point... Wait until its released then you can pass judgement at that point and time. Always one in a crowd...

Youve stated your displeasure numerous times now? It gets annoying hearing the same whining over and over again. Why continuously ask the same question over and over again when you know the answer? Wait till it comes out, then decide if you wanna buy one... Ive purchased one and am happy with its progress up to this point. Your complaining does nothing but discourage those working on this project. I would roll my eyes too being asked the same thing 50 times...

Seems average, lmao? Maybe Im biased since Ive had my 5200 since '82? The new releases: Adventure 2, Beef Drop, Sinistar, Tempest soon... All the A8 conversions? The protos that have been released? Wow, Im confused...
