A copy of Holey Moley??

Has anyone ever managed to complete all of the bonus racks on this game? I was curious to know what is being spelled out & impatience has got the better of me.

Enduro should carry a government health warning for hand cramps. Kaboom! is enough to cause severe eye-strain, still, it's worth it!

That's an awesome bit of work

I'm sure Cassidy could help you Chad with some info about labels, manuals and production stuff.

Laser Gates has got to be a strong contender along with Chopper Command though I think that Subterranea is possibly the best of the horizontally scrolling shooters. Please, no mention of Space Jockey

The fake walnut finish is just incredible By the time you had fixed all that up it would have taken more time than to just swap carts the usual way. Still, it would be a great collectors item

Ohh - The smell of it! j/k Sorry Tempest, just feeling a bit obtuse at the mo'

Apologies Atarian7 (don't mean to hijack your thread) but i have just got my boxed copy of Sky Jinks - my fave racing game - bliss Just had to tell someone!

There is an Activision PAL version of Barnstorming (got one back home). Unfortunately I have no way of dumping it

I've got a 33.60 but that really is the best I can do. Still, if someone has managed 32.04 I've got to try for that myself

Seriously though, thanks guys! Well do I remember (was I really only 11!) how I was TOTALLY convinced that I would regularly save the princely sum of £30 to buy carts from Silica Shop. Nice to flick through copies of this magazine again, I've bookmarked Chris's site - Cheers Steve!

£20 - £30 each!?! What was I thinking!!! Please, just put me out of my misery now - it really would be the kindest thing to do....

NE146 - You truly are a Guru Thanks man, this is fantastic!! Very much appreciated. I used to have nearly all of these mags but (being about 11 years old) sold them off for 10p a shot Oh the folly of youth!

Does anyone remember "TV Gamer" mag? I've been trying to track down any recorded images and have so far turned up nothing - not a sausage I'd really appreciate it if anyone finds any links related to this magazine

Supidest game? There's a few hot favourites for this title.... Sorcerer , Sea Monster & Yars' Revenge - 3 examples of Atari expletives. Dumbest (strangest?) idea for a 2600 game must be Fishing Derby.

I love all of the newly released protos etc. but getting hold of copies of games with a 250 limit typically proves near impossible, especially as I live in the UK. For me, all I really want is to own the complete copy of a game (box + manual). Having a number on it isn't important for me personally. Nice but not a requirement. I would think though that as classic video games, like those for the 2600 still have only a cult following, that even if everyone who wanted a copy of some newly released title got one, the quantities of games sold would still be quite low - even worldwide. Numbers could be put on every box/cart sold and it would still be a limited edition, with say only 1000 carts in circulation that is still a very limited number to release but would reach an awful lot more folks who simply cannot attend gaming expos. I've no idea how many copies of Quadrun were released but I'd think well over a thousand and this carries a '10' rarity rating. I would say that it is a different issue when we are talking a true 'home-made' type. All of the Qb carts & Polo carts, boxes etc. have been made by lone individuals. That's a hell of a lot of work for one person to do, so large numbers of games made this way could well be unrealistic. Perhaps a limited, numbered release of 250 games with a larger run without numbers following after would keep everyone happy? As long as the carts had labels, manuals & boxes I would be more than pleased. Here's to hoping!

Not really my better half but my female flat mate is hooked on Secret Quest

I only have the Crackpots cart (no manual) what's the badge score? I have a PB of 130K on this- there is definite wave behaviour, tho' some of it is awkward

Too true Adrian! I'd almost forgotten about Quick Step, haven't played it in many months

I agree with Room34 - Maze Craze is excellent H2H gaming. Others I'd think of are Warlords, Oink & Flag Capture. I've often thought that Atari had a definite concept in mind to have as many of these types of game as possible, just think of all the sports titles, card-based games and others like Othello, V Chess/Checkers, Backgammon even Combat!

Space Shuttle is my newest interest, still like HERO & Flag Capture.

BTW - Nice one Liquid! I've just recognised the words in the Sky Jinks caption. Gotta' have kaia now :wink:

Could there be anything cooler than being a Shuttle pilot? Man, wish I could do that

The little guy in Secret Quest might need some help - facing giant killer potatoes has gotta leave marks....
