Will do so. I checked your site before but didn't notice that it's so accurate also in PAL. So I'll have definitely some closer looks!

Sorry for digging out this old thread, but are there any news regarding the PAL releases of 20th Century Fox? I mean, they made multilingual boxes and manuals for their PAL releases of Crash Dive, M*A*S*H and Mega Force. But they released about 25 games in NTSC format. So why would they make PAL versions of only those three games?

I have an NTSC and PAL games list for the Atari VCS 2600 at http://www.classic-c...-pal-games-list I am sure that there are still some bugs in the list. Would be great if everyone could help. Please let me know if - you know that a game has for sure NOT been released in PAL or NTSC, but is marked as "Yes" on the list - you know that a game has for sure BEEN release in PAL or NTSC, but is not markes as "Yes" on the list I think that the NTSC list should be pretty accurate because it's easy to gather info on the NTSC games. But it's still tough to find info on the PAL games on the net, so I think there might be more bugs in the PAL column. My goal is to compile the most accurate PAL games list for the Atari 2600, but I need your help Many thanks in advance for your contributions!

PM sent.

I would be interested in Polar Rescue and Pole Position, if you have those CIB and if you are going to split the lot up

Any news?

Wow, sounds interesting!

Sure, no hurry! But good news!

Any info already on when the new batch will be made?

Ok, I have dealt with hundreds of people since I began collecting video games in the early Nineties. 99 % of them are absolutely recommended, nice individuals. But a few are not. Here is my list of bad traders. Of course I will remove any bad trader here instantly as soon as the case is solved. JAN WIREN aka JAWA, Finland, last known email address [email protected] He was a regular at #rgvc in the late 90s and early 00s. I “sold” a lot of stuff to him then, mainly Atari 2600 and Jaguar. Promised payment a dozen times and more, but most of the stuff is still unpaid, total unpaid amount: US$ 179,– BRETT CRICK, Australia, eBay IDs “slidders” and “junkascheapaschips” and "retrogamesunlimited", last known email address [email protected] I bought a Dick Smith Wizard lot on ebay from him end of 2003 or so, his ebay ID was “slidders”. Sent him payment via mail as he didn't have a PayPal account. He confirmed receipt of payment, he says that he shipped the parcel, but it never showed up on my side. Sent him several email, first he replied and said he would claim on his post office, but since then he never replied. I never got the parcel nor my money back. Loss for me: EUR 88,33. In late December 2007 I bought a big Dick Smith Wizzard lot on ebay from a seller with the ID “junkascheapaschips”. I paid via PayPal, the name “Brett Crick” sounded familiar with me, but noticed too late that this was the seller that ripped me off a few years earlier. Unfortunately I had him ship the parcel via sea mail, as the air mail shipping fees were very high. Sea shipping can take up to 2 – 3 months from Australie to Europe, so I had no chance to put a claim on PayPal, it was too late. He promised several times to claim on his post office, but nothing happened. Total price including shipping was AU$ 345.52. In August 2008 he refunded me AU$ 50 to show “good will”, but since then nothing happened. Loss for me: AU$ 295.52, that is apprx. 190 Euro. So total loss for me with this guy: almost 280 Euro! Note: NEVER let your parcel be shipped via sea mail from Australia!! Update: He changed his ebay user name to "retrogamesunlimited" now. SYLVIE GRAPPIN, 39 Rue de l'Europe, Molesme, Bourgogne 21330, France, eBay ID “charmotte21″, last known email address: [email protected] I bought a rare Creativision clone console from her on ebay in May 2008. Paid 265 Euro including shipping via bank transfer, but the parcel never showed up. Absolutely no help from her side. I opened a case on ebay, but she only tried to delay things, promised several times that she would claim on the post office, but again, nothing happened. Total amount lost. In the meantime I heard from another ebay buyer who didn't receive his item from her, he contacted Interpol, let's see what happens … FERNANDO (& ANA) ROSS, Caracas, Miranda 1080, Venezuela, eBay ID "buysellven", last known email address: [email protected] I bought more than 40 games from him, complete in boxes, mainly for Atari 400/800/XL/XE. He said he shipped the games in two parcels. One of them did not show up at all. Not sure if it got lost on the post way or if he never shipped it. The second parcel arrived after three and a half months(!!!), but in a terrible condition, because the box was too flimsy. Many of the games in this box were damaged, some of the boxes completely destroyed. First he didn't respond to emails. Then he responded and offered refund if I send the damaged games back. I sent him a list of the damaged games and asked for an address to send them back. Since then he didn't respond to about 10 emails I wrote. Total loss for me: more than US$ 400, making it the highest loss I ever had in 20 years of video game collecting. I think that in the meantime Fernando Ross doesn't sell on ebay anymore. His feedback rating is private, which also tells a lot. Update 01-Oct-2012: It seems that more people got ripped off by Fernando Ross. Some other aggrieved person told us that Fernando Ross' active eBay ID is probably "miferpa01". A previous eBay ID was "sftca". Be careful.

Now that was fast Can't await the next run!! Btw: I'll take two of them, a friend of mine wants one too.

We played the game last Saturday at our meeting and we liked it very much! Two of my collector friends have ordered the game too on Saturday after playing it

Received my copy today, it took only 9 days from USA to Austria. A great release, congratulations. Box and paper stuff look great! Haven't played it yet tho. Will meet with three collector friends in Vienna on Saturday and we'll play it there. Unfortunately customs took 22 Euro from me, so the total amount I spent on this game was about 92 Euro (around $115), but what can you do. Didn't want to miss on that one ...

It takes me several days to ship out orders -- your copy will be going out tomorrow, and you'll receive an email from the store as soon as your package is in the mail. ..Al Many thanks Albert!

Al, I ordered my copy 3 days ago and have paid with PayPal immediately. However, my order page in my account still says "pending". Just wanted to make sure that I don't miss this game

Good news! Many thanks santosp!

If it helps I woulder order two or three instead of one to get things running! Should we start a list here in this thread or should we open a new thread?

Yeah, I'm still interested!

Well, I do have one. But about 50 items from my trade list are in a pending deal with someone from the Retrobörse in Rosenheim. You can find my trade list here: http://www.classic-consoles-center.at/s__tradesell.pdf Just let me know if you finde things that you are interested in and we will work out something. Many thanks!

Anyone?

I know I am late but if there is one still available somewhere, I will buy it immediately! Please let me know. Many thanks!

Not sure. But they are marked for XL in an Epyx catalog. (very sorry for the late reply)
