Great find, thank you for sharing pics. PM'd you

Twelveyears ago put a smile upon my face. Ihad a new job as an assistant manager at a local Gamestop, watching unfold oneof the most energetic console launches in North America. The launch of the Sega Dreamcast on 9-9-99 gameme faith that Sega was finally going to deliver to gamers a sleek anddependable system that was cuttingedge. All of the promises were hyped bythe media, on top of promises of launching at a mere $199.99. The systemlaunch ended up being a slam dunk success. The Lauch day consisted of approximately 18 titles(our personal storewas missing a couple). Soul Calibur wasthe highlight of the launch, boasting amazing graphics and rich gameplay. I ended up picking up a system shortly afterlaunch with Soul Calibur. Soul Caliburwas one of my favorite games to play, putting in several hundred hours andrekindling my interest in Sega products. Over the next two years the system became a staple in my gameplaying…offering dozens of quality titles that were excellent. I thinkthat reflecting backupon the system and what it offered was value, diversity,and a fresh new direction for console gaming. The system was my first foray into online console gaming and playingover the internet with others. Gamessuch as Phantasy Star Online and NFL 2K1 provided proof that consoles couldprovide solid online gaming experiences. Those two games alone provided endless entertainment for me and myroommates at the time. Phantasy StarOnline alone for provided over a thousand hours of gametime. Startingearly on with the system, I meagerly picked up a title every month or when Icould. I usually waited for sales,bought used, and was patient. From acollecting standpoint the system was fun to collect and seek out titles overthe years. As this is being written, Iwill be wrapping up my UScollection of 252 complete titles. Theconquest for me spanned over a decade of time, searching half the US, andcountess hunting at flea marts, thrift shops, and game shows(PRGE, CGE, NWCGE,SRGE, and Cowlitz Gamers for Kids to name a few). Let this bea time to remember a wonderful system and what it offered gamers around theworld. For me, the Dreamcast is stillthinking…. http://s268.photobucket.com/albums/jj28/swlovinist/Dreamcast%20Collection%20US/

The version that I showcased is complete with sound and all levels. No need to convert. The owner will have to decide what he wants to do with the cart.

I hope that this game gets shipped this year....been waiting on a backorder for six months. I hope more of this title get made soon.

I am in, sign me up

Here is our new promo video for this year. I would like to thank all who have supported our shows, and look forward to seeing everyone very soon! Spread the word about our show. Here is the link:

I plan on coming there on Sunday. Long drive for me, but looks like an awesome show as ever.

I want to be on a list if the game goes to cart. Good luck with the project!

I scored a couple of extra TI 99 Milton Bradley game variants(bright blue label on end and on backside, with serial numbers on side. The games are connect four and yahtzee. What are these roughly worth each?

Thanks for the update. Been waiting awhile for this one.

wonderful collection, thanks for sharing

I got an email here, and am totally pumped about this project moving forward...

after further review, I have to agree that they are probably for Apple II computer. I sometimes forget that paddles were made for other systems other than atari, abit uncommon.

One of the "preorder people" here, and am looking forward to seeing this project completed. It has been neat seeing the project move along, and will be patient to its release. These type of projects are like this. There is always a tentative window of time for release, and then there is the actual release. Rarely do they match up. Communication on this project has been awesome. I have never been worried. It is the awesome dedication to projects such as this one that make me love this site.

Here is just a random thought from a collector and longtime fan of this site: Cool that you made a game and have shown it to us. Thank you for that. You are probably not going to get your asking price, which is on crack. Your Star Castle game might be good, but I have to say like many others that if the game is not available at a affordable and fair price, then I will just invest my time and money into something that is. Moving along....

I have never seen these before, but I can bet you that they probably go to a pong device of some sort.

I cant fathom the amount of stress, time, pressure, money, and communication you have had to do to make a project like the XM. I am very thankful that you are helping unite this community and helping unlock the power of the 7800!

I want one. I am on vacation but can pay asap. Sign me up

I have purchased and love to play many of Bob's creations(Fail Safe being one of my favorites). I am appreciative of what Bob has brought to this community and hope that he can still be around. Bob if you are reading this, your games alone got me very invested into the 7800 scene...you truly are an amazing programmer.

Bump this thread, I still have some available...Prices have been reduced for all three.

I think alot of this drama could be more in private emails versus public posts. As a huge fan of this site and the 7800 community, we need to remember that this does nothing to bring in new people to the community. I respect the hard work that has gone into homebrew projects of the 7800 and other other systems. I hope things can work out with less drama in the future.

I want to buy a deluxe one.

I did respond to your e-mail, John; perhaps it ended up in your spam folder by accident? I did your email, it just did not really answer the question(ETA on when the game will be shipping ). Not a big deal, as I interpreted from your response that there is probably a very subjective window of time when the game gets made, done and shipped to folks. I will continue to support your company and products and do appreciate you getting back to me .

I got some original 7800 games with 2600 cases today in a sale from ebay. Galaga and Ms. Pac Man

I am in the same boat. I have an extra BB cart I can send in, which I prefer to have even with additional cost. Thanks, John
