It wouldn't matter in a handheld tho would it eh? Bit like the PAL Vectrexes you often see on Ebay Steve/Jobf

I can see them OK...

Centipede (Pack-in) Ms Pac Man (first game bought)

The VecRam is worth a thought too. You can then download any bin file from the net and play it on your machine. This has the benefit of always being up-to-date, and you can write your own games and test them on a real console really easily! http://www.ric.dial.pipex.com/ This isn't my product btw. I just have one and its great! Steve/Jobf

Also see: http://www.chris-hind.co.uk/mag02.html They do crop up on Ebay UK sometimes, but I've seen issues go for 20-30 quid each! Steve/Jobf

Uncommon+. Steve/Jobf

Interactive Fiction games based upon collecting/being stuck in your favourite game are entirely possible. For my final year dissertation of a Computing Science degree, I created an Interactive Fiction adventure using the Inform language which compiles into Z-Code - the same format as Infocom games use(d). Interpreters are widely available for many platforms. I honestly thought about writing one based on finding carts and stuff, but the topic was a little too specialised for the intended audience of my dissertation :-) Steve/Jobf

Does anyone know more about the 2 different types of label styles that you get with Xonox double-enders? Which type is earliest? Which type seems to be the most uncommon? Are they from different parts of the World? For example, my PAL Xonox Robin Hood/Sir Lancelot is the same as the NTSC scan in the AA database, whereas Trey's (posted above) is of the "diagonal" style. Also, are all double enders available in both styles? I've not seen an Artillery Duel/Super Kung Fu in the diagonal style for example - Only in the straight style like the scan (of my cart) here in the database. Cheers Steve/Jobf

Yes, I followed the link to the PHP Date function reference to see how to change as the "english" setting was driving me mad. I definitely didn't change it in the first instance. Steve/Jobf

I got it - my date format has changed to "english". I didn't chnage it tho

Woah, dates of all changed into a wierd format on posts: e68Wednesday224308 This includes the date of when a post was made, and also the info at the top of a forum telling you when you last visited: You last visited on e68Wednesday321108 The time now is e61Wednesday162201 Steve/Jobf

Mmm very strange. At work it shows up fine (IE5, Win98). Steve/Jobf

I get this too, and have reloaded. IE6, Win XP. Steve/Jobf

Ahahahaha! But it wasn't boxed though, was it? Steve/Jobf

Pfft, except I just noticed I've been demoted to a Newbie from a Snr Atari Fan

Yep, I can get used to this. Good job!

quote Those are for the Spectravideo Computers, like the SV328 or whatever. It seems one "program" was released for the Compumate. There is more info on this recent thread: Computer Addon for VCS Steve / Jobf

Very common. The best boxing game for the 2600 though I feel. It doesn't have an entry, because, unlike other games from the RS Series, it was released in NTSC with a red label, and the rarity guide only adds PAL games if they have different labels (like RS Soccer and Tennis for example, which were released with silver labels in the US and red labels in Europe). **edit** I should add that some of the PAL RS Series games were available in silver labels too (like RS Tennis), though this isn't made clear in the guide.

Hah, reminds me of the Aphex Twin's Windowlicker single! Mm I might go and stick that on infact.. Steve/Jobf

quote Yes, Road Runner is a great game, one of my top 10 definitely. Luckily, I have it loose and shrinked so I can play it and keep a copy for my collection. I've just received Bugs Bunny in the post too, so I've got to see how that compares! Steve

Hi guys, I've got a few boxes (no carts or manuals) that I'd like to trade for other boxes that I don't yet have. These are varying in condition, - if you'd like to see a scan of any, please let me know. Cosmic Creeps Coconuts Word Zapper Journey Escape My have list is here, so you can see what boxes I need Cheers Steve

Hehe, yeah that's too easy Bring 'em on.....

quote: Great list, Steve and Chris! I found one little error though: the games listed under the Goliath label, should be listed as Hot Shot. I know for sure, as I have Chris' Hot Shot collection sitting here on a shelf Hehe, thanks Marco, I'll get it changed as soon as! Steve

quote: Speaking of the Compumate... (And changing the subject entirely) was there ever any actual software made for it? Or was it just a programmers toy like the Magicard? After a bit of digging on Google, I found reference to the Ebay auction I remembered. The tape included was PictureMate Animal World. Google Post I wonder if there are any others?? Steve Rich

quote Yes there was software for it! I've seen tape software (iirc some sort of drawing program) on Ebay.au before! I think Marco is the person to ask - he won the auction I think! Steve [ 05-15-2002: Message edited by: Jobf ]
