  1. In the process of adding more games to ebay. Hate to sell these but im trying to buy a few expensive MSX2 games, and this will lessen the blow. I have many homebrew titles old and new so let me know if you are looking for anything in particular.
  2. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256099590522?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=LkA54KnARHS&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=LkA54KnARHS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Will ship in a box with bubble wrap
  3. Awesome, but what's the deal? Is this going to be sold? Is there somewhere to download it? People are saying they've played it but I can't find anything about this online other than here.
  4. Ok, I've been looking into this for a while and have found no info. What's the deal with the 1st release of Pesco and ebivision pac man? This is a screenshot from YouTube, but this happens on my actual system in both games 4 out of 5 times I switch on the power. I assume this is a programming bug and not system related, but I honestly have no idea. Pesco and pac man are missing half their bodies and seem stuck in the walls, along with the enemies.

      It's a bug in the game: it doesn't correctly initialize the CPU. In particular, the decimal flag is not cleared, and the game glitches if the flag happens to be set when powering on the console. (the state of cpu registers and flags is undetermined at startup and should always be initialized)

      Thank you @alex_79. Much appreciated!

  6. It has begun. A package coming from two hours away from my house has been in limbo and hasn't even reached the shippers local distribution center in five days. Merry Christmas lol.

      they are being idiots, my stuff sat 18 minutes away from my house for 3 days... twice... back and forth, back and forth, back... I called and b*tched and then it came forth to me...

      I ordered a couple of things last month and went with the 5 day shipping. They got to the local distribution center in 2 days and then sat there for three days, presumably because I didn't spring for the 2 day shipping.

      It truly all seems so ridiculous,...And these examples above?  Even more so,...But just to play Devil's advocate for a sec.  Somewhere amidst a malfunctioning bureaucracy,  I think they're meant to be set up, to get out most packages quickly.  It doesn't explain the outliers and mistakes, but I'm pretty sure they don't have an extra guy to spare when they need to deliver next door...

  7. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

  8. Anyone know what would cause a 2600 cart dust cover to not "push back" all the way? I have a copy of Return of MBwhere this is an issue, wont insert fully into the cart port because the dust cover doesnt retract fully. I know the game works because if I press down and keep my hand on the cart, the game starts. Seems like a chip or a component on the board is blocking it. I don't want to open it because the game is oop.

      I think there are springs inside the cart that push the dust cover back to the closed position.  Maybe some debris or corrosion is making it so the springs are not compressing appropriately for the cover to push up.

      The springs seem fine, no harsh noise, scraping visible springs poking out or strange resistance, that's usually what I notice when those are going bad or dislodged in the cart during shipping which is why I'm confused lol. when I stick a screwdriver in the peg holes and push back the mechanism by hand, there's a point where it just won't go any further no matter how hard I push without risk of breaking anything. It's just really weird cuz it's a legitimate Atariage release with the same boards Al uses, and the cart seems to have never been opened. I got it second hand on ebay, Im certain that Al wouldn't  send a game out to someone that doesn't insert into a system. At least i can play on the harmony. Was worth asking.

  9. * For those who care, i own all of the ebivision games here from AA and bought them here directly. I own all of the older standard editions with ebivision made labels, except for Pesco and Allia. I just want to complete the set. and am gladly offering to basically pay someone to pick up the fancier Atariage releases and throw some extra cash if needed in exchange for their old ones
  10. Looking to buy the original non limited "standard edition" releases of Pesco and Allia Quest. Just need carts, manuals not required. Theres a seller on ebay who sells them, but they are scanned versions of the original labels. I'm willing to pay more than what these cost in the store here for just the old carts, depending on condition. Thanks for looking Edit* In need of NTSC Pesco, not Pal Justin
  11. Goin down the fast way. Composed by Lee Jackson for the game "Rise of the Triad" by Tom Hall and Apogee software for MSDOS. Probably one of my favorite video game songs of all time.

     

     

  12. My copy of Venture Reloaded is out for delivery today. Finally picked it up for my Birthday. That's aspergers for ya though. You can be super obsessed with something for a few months or even years and then put it in the back of your mind involuntary for quite a while. Got into retro computing for a bit, and played around on my old windows xp rig, but i can never forget the vcs.

      Was able to get through floor 1 in my brief testing. I just have to say that Nathan Strum really hit it out of the park with the packaging, label and manual design. Can't really appreciate these things until you have em in your hands. Extremely well done. And the game itself is beyond praise, absolutely outstanding. 

  13. Sad news Indeed. Discovered and learned alot through his posts and comments here. Rest easy.
  14. Thanks for updating. Glad he's okay and recovering.
  15. I think Brent is either just really busy building games, or has some personal things going on. I sent a message last Saturday trying to order a copy and I haven't heard back yet. It's not just you man.
  16. Actually, put me down for a Moxie if any are available still, so both Moxie and Yankee. That Twofer price is too good.
  17. Was anyone else bidding on the combat two and coke wins resqsoft listings from the same seller? Holy crap, someone swooped in earlier today and put up a crazy high max bid on both. I slowly started adding bids to the combat two cart and after 80 something bucks, my brain started functioning again, someone either definitely wants this more than I do, thinks it's something else, or they are fake bids. Too much for me lol. Still listed if anyone wants to check them out.

      Yeah man, I just like getting my hands on old stuff like this for some reason. I thought he only sold just the cart though, and Marc sold the numbered boxed ones. I could be wrong though, info from back then is hard to find.

      Accurate info*

      Possible, we can ask Marc.

  18. Re organizing my loose cart homebrews and hacks and figured I'd take some pics.

  19. Just realized my profile still says "New Member", but I've had this account for two years. Is this and the ranking based on content, comments and likes? I'm an IT professional but I've never been a member of a forum before, just a casual browser. Pretty crazy. On a semi related note, I've never seen Back to the Future.  I remember as an 18 year old or so, someone asked me if I ever saw it, and they freaked out when I said no. I purposely haven't watched it since that point so I can get that reaction every time someone asks haha. Hope everyone has a good night.

      Haha, like magic. Thanks man.

  20. My first purchase in here was Atarimania by @Red 5. Everything was great. Probably spent over a grand in the Atariage store at this point too.
  21. I got VIP number 96. The timestamp on the transaction was 5:18 PM, but that was only because i had a hard time figuring out how to get Paypal to open. Safe to say they sold out of the VIP bundle within 20 minutes, and have sold hundreds of games so far. Really excited to give this a try and to see what else they have in store.
