  1. So I was a my great aunts house the other day and I opened the closet to see a telstar system. I have never played one of these. This thing is absolutely mint and still in the box. I don't think it has ever been used! The box is in perfect condition!

     

    Are these worth anything? Can anyone direct me to a website with more information on these?

     

    Thanks!


  2. Hi all,

     

    I guess this is really a question for the Als... but if any knows the answer or has a good guess, please post it.

     

    My question is this: How much disk space does a site the size of AtariAge use? I mean everything including the forums.

     

     

    Just curious.

  3. My local GameStop is a smaller store. This thread really peaked my interested, because the other day I went in there and there was only about 20-25 NES carts... I was awefull! Many of them were duplicates of bad games!!!! I asked the dude behind the counter... he said that people just weren't trading them in... but I have my doubts.

     

    I think maybe the small stores are getting rid of them. I went to three other nearby stores and the had tons of games.


  4. Yes, you should rent it! I disagree with Gamestop 100%. Dragon's Lair 3d deserves at least an 8 or 8.5. I have 25 games for the Cube (good ones too) and this is definately one of my favorites!

     

    I enjoyed it much more than Lord of the Rings: Two Towers, Medal of Honor, and Baldors Gate. (By the way, Baluldor Gate was also way under-rated)

     

    That is not to say the others were bad games.... I just thought DL3D was better.


  5. This message is intended for one of the Als, but if any AtariAge members would like to give an opinion, that is certainly welcome.

     

     

    I hope you don't mind, but I have adopted your rarity scale for my website. I do give AtariAge credit for creating the original scale, and site the following reasons for using it:

     

    This is what appears on my site - The rarity scale you are looking at was originally developed by AtariAge, we have adopted this scale for a couple of reasons. One, it is a great scale and gives a great description of what you can expect. Two, the AtariAge scale, for lack of a better term, is sort of the "industry standard". Many gamers will instantly recognize the rating system and this will help maintain a consistency throughout the hobby... therefore we felt it would be prudent to use the same system. Some of the older Nintendo rarity guides, like the one composed by Mike Etler in 1996, use a "letter grade" system to define rarity, while that system does work, VintageGamer.net feels the "number" system is more representative of the current market.

     

     

    I am not trying to undermind your original work in any way, it is a really great scale and I would like to adopt it for VintageGamer.net.

     

    The guide can be seen at this address: http://www.vintagegamer.net/reference_page...arity_guide.htm

     

     

    Thanks!
