Crazy Climber

I've been looking for one for months...(a year now?) I cant find anything under 300 bucks. With a somewhat high failure rate (at least in my experience, red screen, etc) I just can't do it...

Big lots at a greatly reduced price. Gives someone a deal and you save tons of time.

They have this one coming... https://www.strictlylimitedgames.com/space-invaders-invincible-collection/

This could be one of those "game crash era" debates... I mean, take Activision and maybe Parker bros out of the equation and there wasn't many 3rd party games period for the 5200...

Dude, you are on FIRE with these patches!! Awesome stuff man!!

beautiful...

For the title of this topic it does matter what the underlying price is... "Why is the atari stock so high?" Answer...it's not high. It's "higher" than it was but not HIGH

My guess is it's just a cool name so Al used it

yeah, 160% of a stock worth (under a dollar) isn't saying much. For instance...160% increase of 10 cents would be what...26 cents?

I haven't been on yet, but has it been reached ten times over on actual hardware? I could see doing it with save states...but actually hardware, leaves little room for error as far as I can tell...

Shawn brings up a good point here...I didn't even look at the pics (my computer is so old it won't even load them lol) but some of those games have a HUGE price difference for condition. Rampage for example, those are almost always trashed, a really nice one would likely get top dollar...but yeah, mint is always more desirable, beat up labels drop the price/etc..

Pricecharting.com prices typically only work well (for fast sales) on the really rare stuff. Ikari warriors for example, not an easy game to find so it sold right away. You don't get a lot of options on that one (at least ones that aren't grossly overpriced) Games like... -Pete Rose Baseball $24 -Double Dragon $34 -Rampage $43 -Donkey Kong Junior $15 -Title Match $28 -Super SkateBoardin $37 -Xenophobe $33 -Impossible Mission $29 Are somewhat easier to find, or very easy in some cases. Basically they don't sell instantly at the going rate on pricecharting... While the prices might not be too far off, or even dead on in some cases, they aren't going to sell immediately at those prices, you will need to wait for someone looking for them...and hope a cheaper option isn't available to them. If you look at the completed history on ebay, you can see a lot of those sellers had that game for sale in their possession for awhile/etc.. they got top dollar, but they waited for it. Basically, if you want stuff to move fast (like I typically do) you need to go 60-70% of the going rate. Either a collector will snatch them up, or a reseller that wants to deal with the work and time involved for the extra 30/40% return. Hope that helps

well...I'm pretty sure Alien Brigade wasn't released until (1989? 1990?) so...somethings a little off... Cool belt though! *edit - that's what I get for skimming the post, seems you already mentioned this!! haha

haha, no problem. SNK is in need of some strong management...the franchise has so many possibilities!

This could get interesting...

I mean...that might up the value a bit...just saying

That ones a top 5 homebrew for me, but since he said he was already going to buy all the Champ Games homebrews, I figured I'd recommend some of my lesser mentioned favorites

I think paypal put a stop to that, to transfer balance you need ss# 2 forms of ID, etc... Also any sales over 10k (possibly even less now) receive a tax form

just order a standard to play then bury your VIP edition in your yard in an airtight container

Yeah, I might run a splitter off my atari to another little small 9" TV that I can't find any purpose for and just tuck it away somewhere dark for the sole purpose of QR code screen shots. Seems kind of stupid but why not, it's not being used anyways haha

Yeah that makes sense. I've done something similar when selling something to a specific person/etc.. Once somebody requested a custom item from me, I put it up for $1000 and told them to make an offer of $50 when they were ready to buy it. That way nobody else would buy it and they could buy it at their convenience without both of us having to be on Ebay at the exact same time/etc.. I'm not on the internet much at night or weekends so it was just easier that way for me

This one...oh wait, not a homebrew (?) Some of the lesser mentioned favorites of mine are... - A-vcs-tec Adventure (If you pick it apart you might find a few faults but it's damn fun. Twitch style game/etc..) - LEAD (This is an under rated shooter in my opinion, love the music) - Chetiry (If you don't own tetris on a million systems already, buy it, if you do maybe pass, it's just tetris lol) - Elevators Amiss (nothing deep or complex, simple to play, not sure why I like it so much but I always have fun when I play it) - Dungeon (this one is hit/miss, sometimes I love it, sometimes it makes me mad, but when it's good it's GOOD lol) - Fall Down (if you have a friend that will play games with you BUY IT!! solo is not as fun, 2 player is freakin awesome) - Phantom2/pirate (the little random pirate mini game is the bees knees!) - Power off! (This one might be more of a nostalgia thing for me, it's okay but was the first homebrew I bought IIRC. Hard to feel nostalgia on a homebrew but then again, it's been almost 20 years so....)

IIRC even the complete ones are lacking quite a bit of depth/gameplay. I think one of them was kind of fun but it's been awhile. Don't quote me one this, I'm not entirely sure, but if memory serves all 6 of these titles were supposed to be released as mini games on one cartridge through Amiga...(?)

It's just a marketing technique. You put something up ridiculously high, people laugh and inevitably look to see what else you are selling. They see something that is a good deal and maybe even buy it, etc, etc...

Not an old game...but just saying...circus...
