Stampede does have tips. Here's the last page of the manual. Stampede -Paul

New Spider Fighter high score! Screen Shot -Paul

I'd love to see my tip in print (or online)! -Paul

Prices really are high. Everything I put on watch bids way out of my reach. I just threw some of my dupes on ebay. We'll see how they do. -Paul

For Stampede, I leave a group of the slow brown ones at the top and bottom the whole game and keep nudging them up, only roping the ones in the middle. I made 3233 this way. -Paul

Prices seem a little inflated lately. Often when I seen insane prices, if you look at the bid history, it's a bunch of people with (0) or (1) for feedback in a bidding war. I saw a Supercharger by itself go for $150 one time. -Paul

It's not 64k, but the board Hozer Video uses to make multibank carts does support 32k ROMs. -Paul

Tom, actually I sold you that copy of Alligator People. I made that myself, so it's not an original prototype. Probably worth about $10. -Paul

Does anyone have any of the following manuals for sale or trade? Trying to fill the last few. 3-D Tic Tac Toe (Sears) Airlock Artillery Duel Basketball (Sears) Beat Em and Eat Em Bermuda Triangle Bridge (Activision) Codebreaker (Sears) Donkey Kong (Red Atari) Eggomania Fantastic Voyage Frostbite Gyruss King Kong Kung Fu Master Mogul Maniac Mountain King Name This Game Private Eye RealSports Boxing Snoopy and the Red Baron Space Chase Squeeze Box Star Raiders (Sears) Star Ship Star Wars: ROTJ Death Star Battle Stargate Super Breakout (Sears) Tomcat F-14 Tron Deadly Discs Here's my trade list. -Paul

That catalog is from when I bought my Wico bat-handle controller around 1983. ;c) -Paul

I use Wico bat-handles and the Epyx joystick. Epyx isn't good for diagonals, but Wico isn't as precise. Here's a Wico catalog. It doesn't have the Boss, though. Wico Catalog -Paul

"Firefly II" "The English Patient" "Ventriloquist Simulator" -Paul

Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom (not a port of the arcade, but a sequel to the 2600 Raiders) -Paul

Does anyone know anything about the person or people who did the art for the pre-silver label games? I've always liked those pictures and wondered who it was. -Paul

BTW: The ones you other guys have posted so far look great! -Paul

Finally finished mine. I sure did learn a lot about Photoshop doing this! Here's a JPG version. I tried to put up a PNG version, but it showed up dark on my browser. Weird. Gunfight Label -Paul

That's GREAT! Thanks capturing it and putting it up. -Paul

I hear 2600 Donkey Kong and Pac-Man all the time on TV and in movies. It must be in some widely used sound effect library. -Paul

Emu EMAX II. I still use it all the time. ;o) -Paul

I used shipping tape to laminate some stuff on my sampler about 10 years ago. It's been banged around in many smoky clubs and sat in my car in the texas heat several times. It's still holding up. It outlasted the power supply. ;o) -Paul

I use three ring binders and photo sheets from container store. They have sheets for a few different sizes. Most I use the 5x7's. -Paul

My best find was Flip&Flop and Bristles for the Atari 8 bit computers both still shrinkwrapped. I don't really collect 8-bit carts, so I sold them. I paid $3 each and sold them for $150 each! I put all the money into my 2600 collection. My coolest 2600 find was Beat Em and Eat Em for $1. I thought it was funny to find that in a thift store. -Paul

Do you remember which city the episode was in? -Paul

I print mine on Avery 8764 glossy shipping labels. They're about the perfect size. To make them last forever, you can laminate them with wide clear tape, but it's tricky to apply it without wrinkles or bubbles. -Paul

How did you build the cart? I've got one I made by removing the ROM from a Berzerk cartridge and replacing it with a socket. I haven't tried that many games, but I got Miner 2049er and Asteroids to work. Which ROMs are you having problems with? -Paul
