This is the first time that I have offered a cartridge and manual only version of the game. Is this something that should continue or should I go back to all boxed versions for the future?
Personally, I like having a cheaper option... without a box for me to put in storage.

usually, I know how much I want to spend on a particular item. and I'll only bid on high shipping listings if it's something I REALLY want.
If an item has an estimated value of $40-$50 and then shipping is already at $40, then my max bid will be around $10 for the item. I'd still add it to my watched list and MAYBE bid a few bucks more last minute, but listed items with crazy shipping are generally items I don't win because I refuse to get suckered from the shipping costs.

most likely there was both english and french manuals. I can't be sure of TG16 titles, but PS1/PS2/Xbox etc all had a bilingual manual and sleeve shrinkwrapped over an US copy.

have you tried this?
go to chrome://settings/content. scroll down to Plug-Ins and select Click to Play instead of Run Automatically.

mine does something similar.
every so often I click View New Content and it shows me a list of new member that signed up that day. and the left column for By Content Type is checked at members?
Usually just clicking View New Content again fixes it, but it keeps happening seemingly at random times. does this on my Desktop and Laptop which are both running Chrome.

Have to admit while the characters and background look fun the demo screens show the same four screens over and over.
I thought at first they showed the video similar to Montezuma's Revenge and that was equally uninspiring of climbing ladders, going down corridors and my reaction was the same.
The positive spin I can give to this is that they are creatively working to recover from the unfortunate Smurf Rescue bit, and they came up with an alternate plan and character design quickly, which is great. Just will take time. With people already investing money in this the project will be rushed when games do in fact take time, that would be my only concern.
Maybe you saw the other videos that were posted here for Sydney Hunter and the Mayan's Revenge (NES) or Sydney Hunter and Caverns of Death (SNES)?

It's been nearly a year since anything was posted here. Atari2600Homebrew is still going strong, I have been updating it nearly everyday. There have been a lot of changes along the way, but I'd like to ask everyone (programmers, producers, and homebrew collectors) for their help with information, details, screenshots, and scans. There is still a lot of information missing!
some things that have changed since last year:
- Changed the Theme
- Layout of every page changed (smaller images and more compact information)
- Added Video Game Critic Reviews (Not Finished Yet)
- Many new titles have been added.
- Expanded the scanned game section to include the contents of the manual, back of box and also the cartridge end label and any extras included
- Prototypes and one-of-a-kind page will be added. currently building a list of these but I doubt this will ever be a primary focus. still, I am taking submissions for these starting now.
- Any cartridge images from the index pages that include an end label, have higher resolution scans. those that only show the main label are lower resolution 400x480 images and could even be mock up images (I want to replace as many mock ups as possible with proper scans.
I have also considered adding ROM's to the site. but so far I haven't started asking anyone for permission, If you are a programmer and would like to have them available, please contact me.

unfortunately the last three games I found "swordquest fireworld, pitall and battlezone" were hidden in extremely disgusting paper towels and had unidentified substance on them. I had to throw them away because they were impossible to clean and Pitfall didn't even work. I already had 2x missile command, jungle hunt, star raider, yars revenge, combat, journey escape and realsport football.
But really it sucks that people are throwing away their old stuff. Who knows what gems could be hidden in those disgusting black bags? It makes me want to check every thrash bags I find... No that's disgusting... But could someone check the picture I uploaded on hostingpics and tell me if that's the right way to do it?
looks like you did it right. I would've cut the sheets up to use less sheets but it's perfectly fine this way. make sure you put a lid on the box because that will help the dryer sheets do their work on the games instead of wherever you are storing the box.
-
I got the smell off the case and label but it still smell disgusting inside... I don't think putting soapy water, vinegar or isopropyl alcohol inside would be a very good idea... So what do I do?
do you mean the insides of the cartridge? Use a q-tip and alcohol to clean in there. with 48 games that came from the garbage, you might need a whole box.
If you mean inside your house, it will take at the very least 48 hours for the dryer sheets/baking soda/kitty litter method to work. If yours are extra smelly like I assume they are, leave them there for a week or so.
Some of the rarer titles you got.
Fathom (R4)
Cosmic Creeps (R4)
Spacemaster X-7 (R6)
Demolition Herby (R6 or R7, depending on which variant)
Coconuts (R4)
-
first thing you should do is clean the contacts, the shells, and the labels as best as you can. use a sanitizing rag for the shells first.
That should get rid of most of the initial smell. if it is still smelly, I would put them in a box or bin with a lid and cut a bunch of dryer sheets into smaller squares and slip one in between each cartridge, seal the box and check again in a few days. repeat if necessary.
there are also similar ideas using kitty litter and baking soda.

If you go to the rarity guide, I think the homebrews are listed under "self published". You can find roms there...
That list hasn't been updated in a long time. Lots of homebrew games are missing from it.

whatever happened to this? orders completed and shipped?
my guess would be, production hasn't been finished yet as he hasn't started taking payments..
-
I have 415 carts plus 159 homebrew/hack/repro carts. some duplicate games in there though,
-
I have never ordered anything from these people, but given the whole operation I will never waste my time with them... the entire concept seems to be ripe for bumblefucks to screw you whether its time or money (having dealt with many similar "dealers" in the past with the same setup)
I think in 2014 it should be just about braindead for a online store to be able to take your order and shipping information without having to beg for communication from someone who doesnt even bother to format their storefront better than a gigantic vomit pile of text.
and before anyone goes on about how hard it is to keep track of massive amounts of stuff on a website, again its 2014, these people have an inventory, even the most basic shop PHP file will import excel or CSV. so too lazy to copy paste, but not too lazy to send a half dozen emails jacking up the price based on some tidbit in the endless wall of vomit.
that should tell you to tip toe around this turd
This gigantic vomit pile of text is the reason I never ordered anything from them. This isn't 1995 anymore.

I don't mean to be an arse by saying this, but I wish you'd truncate the pre-order lists to only include up to the highest number instead on all 150, or just edit previous posts? I keep scrolling down the page forever. It's not such an issue when at my desktop PC but on my laptop it's kinda annoying to scroll that much.
something like this would suffice wouldn't it?

I have spoken with this seller personally over the phone and he is a very nice guy. Unfortunately, it just seems that he has not performed much research into things over the years before making purchases. Thus, after talking with him about some of his carts, I am firmly convinced that he bought carts over the years off of auction sites, not knowing at all whether they were genuine originals or not. Thus, if he tries to sell some carts without firmly stating if they are originals or not, it's because he himself does not know.
As for this copy of Gauntlet, which is still up for sale at the moment, I must say that it is very strange that the label on the cart matches what appears on the front of an original box for this game rather than what appears on the front of an original cart for this game. This does strongly seem to indicate that it must be a reproduction, unless Answer Software happened to make 2 variants of the cart.
Does anyone here happen to know who would have made a reproduction of this game using the image from the front of the original box? As far as I know, the reproductions made by Hozer did not have this type of label on the carts.
I call BS on that, even if he bought all these carts from auction sites, it doesn't take long to do a google search. if he didn't do any searching he wouldn't know that the originals have any value, so he knows they are fakes, he just doesn't want to admit it.
a lot of newer hozer carts now come with a laminate over the label. I'm almost certain this cart was made by hozer.

Lots of covers doesn't show much of the game, or nothing at all, weither it's a Westernization of a Japanese game, or it's just a nice artwork.
The fine example would be that Videopac 40 game... it's hard to guess it's a Connect Four game, with that metallic cat face being right in the middle of it.
while true that i didn't think it was a connect four game at first, I did get it once I realized the vertical streaks were actually tubes, plus the screenshot kind of helps.with the Sir Ababol cover above, I still can't make out what I'm looking at. it's too pixelated. a google search showed me the game looks like a chibi castlevania-esque platformer, I would have never guessed it by the cover. looks more like a frozen lemming pooping ice shards.

Personally, I like both retro and modern styles, but your example doesn't work for me because that NES art doesn't tell me anything about the game besides that it is an NES game. is that a person smashing a block? I can't tell?
Interest lost!
Sometimes copying retro styles can be a bad thing because it tells me that whoever created it might not have had an original concept to begin with. I'm not saying it isn't. but that's my first thought.

I'm pretty sure this guy is selling a lot of unofficial copies of games. I've seen Halloween II and Halloween III, L.E.M, Dragon Chase, Ewok's Adventure and quite a few others.
