If they're one of those shady stores run by Habib that stink of B.O. and curry and deal in stolen merchandise, that's good they went out of business. That's what it sounds like.

Yeah, why buy a DC twin stick when you can buy a SS one for $50 and get a $15 or so adapter to use it on both systems?

Why is this in 'classic gaming'?

Measures 12"x18", nice wooden frame with glass. Great game room or office decoration. Flyer is an original, not a reprint. $25.50 shipped

1. Tempest 2. Wizard of Wor 3. PropCycle 4. Metal Slug 2 5. Shootout

It seemed to me like they killed off the last generation of systems way too quickly. It wasn't like the graphics or sound were dated looking and disappointing anyone. Starting a new generation of system just so you can get a bump up in resolution, that you'll only notice if you have an HDTV that can display that resolution, seemed dumb.

How do you know this?

I still don't get the appeal of the VCS adapter for the CV to people who already owned a 2600. This thinking that it's ok to upgrade to the CV because we can play the games on an adapter. Why not just keep the 2600 system?

Goo Gone is just a brand name for concentrated orange oil from orange peels.

No. Don't do it.

I think I have one that looks like an MP-5, has autofire. I have no idea how anyone can play games like HOTD 2 or Point Blank using a regular pistol.

There are other finished or nearly finished ADAM games that could be put on a cartridge easier: A.E., Hard Hat Mack, Pinball Construction Set, Family Feud, Jeopardy, Temple of Apshai.

umm... have you actually looked at some of his reviews? It helps if you know how to play a game before you review it.

How can I do that ole Iron Eyes Cody? (scuze my ignorance) Look on ebay, tradin times and Craigslist for ADAM's. You can't give them away. The ones that sell for decent money on ebay are the huge software/hardware bundles or the ones mint in the original box/shipping container. A loose ADAM console by itself can't get $5.00.

You could just buy an ADAM for like $5 or get one for free. They come with A/V out built-in and don't have a troublesome power switch like the CV.

The CV version is great. It features voice synthesis. It plays sort of like a primitive version of DOOM. It has a lot of different enemies to avoid and shoot plus the submarine boss levels. I've never played the INTV version but I don't see how it could compete graphically.

For sale, a new, unused Advent 2055 20 inch color flatscreen, stereo, has component video input, composite video, S-video input, antennae/cable/RF input. TV is adjustable to display NTSC , PAL or SECAM. This is the only TV I've ever seen for sale in North America that had this feature. I bought this as a backup TV and have never used it, except to test that it works. It also has side A/V inputs for quickly and easily connecting a system without having to get in back. No longer will you be stopped from buying games from anywhere on the planet!Finally, you can snag all those PAL and SECAM games from UK, Brazil, France and not have to worry about not being able to play them. Includes a remote control. $169.99 shipped

I can't believe how everyone chose the 2600 over the Astrocade back then. It cost more but not that much more and it's so much better than the 2600. I guess it's just one more example of the cheapest hardware winning the war. That would've been awesome if they had left the high-res circuitry connected and offered an optional memory expansion to support it, like they did with the N64. It's still an amazing piece of hardware when you look at how close the Incredible Wizard is running on the simple Astrocade compared to Wizard of Wor running on arcade hardware that required like 6-8 large pcb boards. http://klov.com/images/11/1106136594.jpg

What's odd is that CV protos never seem to surface in CT, near where Coleco was. What about INTV protos? It just seems like lots of Atari protos get found.

Maybe a Megacart. DK and DKJ didn't really fit onto a cart. They had to cut out the title screen, high score screen, maybe some intermissions and the 5th screen, Mario's Hideout/bakery from DKJ. There's no way you could squeeze DL into 32k. It might not even run on CV without a memory expansion.

I think there were only 3, I've only seen 3, Zaxxon, Donkey Kong, DK Jr. I don't know why they did this because I've seen Zaxxon (floppy disc version)sold in a flat box that I think they also sold the cassette version in. It would've been awesome if they had started that trend early on and sold all the cart games in those cabinet shaped boxes.

I really dont know who he is...he's been buying stuff forever, but rarely ever any big money items. Is he really buying that much stuff? Take a look at his feedback from stuff he's bought. It's nothing but CV stuff, tons of it, and like I said, a lot of the same stuff over and over and over. Is he stocking a store or something?

Which ones. He made ones that used dip switches for a long time, I had two of them. He made only a few of the menu driven kind. Most of those supposedly ended up failing. Of course those are the only kind anyone wants.

I haven't noticed any upsurge in demand for CV items. Last few times I listed CIB CV commons on ebay cheap, I got zero bids. I eventually gave them all away because I couldn't sell them at any price. Who the F$%k is great.throwdini on ebay? He/she buys nothing but CV/ADAM stuff, often thousands of dollars worth of CV stuff every month including multiples of the same games and hardware over and over.

The side buttons are really hard to push IIRC.
