    A list of games that use or require the MBX is right here, in case you didn't know:

    Sewermania

    Superfly

    Bigfoot

    Space Bandits 

    Meteor Belt

    Honey Hunt

    Games that REQUIRE the MBX

    I'm Hiding

    Terry Turtle's Adventure

    Soundtrack Trolley

    Character Crayons

    Championship Baseball

     

    Notice that most of the ones that require the MBX are educational...

  2. Today's finds--jackpot.

    Found this at a thrift store.

     

    The GC was $25 while the Genesis games were $2 a pop. 

     

    Sadly, the GC had a dead motherboard. Funny thing is, I found another GameCube a while back that couldn't read discs. So I took 'em both apart because there was a good chance the one with the dead motherboard had a good disc drive, so I put the disc drive from the one with the dead motherboard in the one that had a bad disc drive. Now the first one I found works! I guess there was an actual reason I bought the dead one.

  3. I found a boxed TI Super Sketch at a GoodWill a long time ago, but usually extremely rare when you see anything TI specific in the wild. Oh and a boxed Q*bert at a consignment store once. Think that's all I've ever seen all these years.

    All I ever found was a Parsec cartridge next to some Nintendo 64 games.

  5. lol- even if I'm the only person on Earth that likes Zero Zap I'm gonna keep my stance. I have a black label cart and the original artwork book, just like my Grandpa had. :P

     

    imo Burger Builder is a crappier game than Zero Zap!

    I also like ZeroZap. Burger Builder? Literally just Burgertime, but crappy.

  6. It wasn't ever tested against a 99/4, but we can pull ours out and replicate the tests you did to see if it is a general issue. . .another thought is to test it against other ROM-only cartridges (TI didn't make any of these, so you have to try third-party or homebrew carts) to see if they work.


  7. I bought my first 99/4A from the Base Exchange while I lived in Berlin (I had to special order it from their catalog). I didn't try to expand it to much until I moved to Florida (just bought some pain sticks and a few cartridges), but while I was there I bought my first PEB from the local K-Mart. The Exchange in Berlin closed when the military moved out of Berlin in the early 1990s, and the K-Mart looks like it is gone now too. . .

    Didn't you say you saw a Joust cartridge in that K-Mart?
