Mayhem

The July date has a 2023 year on it so... it's the old info from your original order.

Licensing reasons mostly afaik. Space Giraffe is still available on the Xbox store for example.

I think only the early 8k RAM carts have DIPs inside. Mine does, hence I left it on block 5 to use for such matters if I ever needed it.

Dear lord, why? 😛

Looks like it's out March 13th.

The Vectrex game Zantis was based on Spiders as well.

And sold...

Yes, got a query?

Dave Comstock I think, CGE2004 wearing one of the original shirts

Okay let's give this a whirl, cheers!

I think he meant the games heh. Yes, they are pretty playable.

Kept quiet on this as I was helping DE with a fair bit of the Commodore side of matters... nice to see it finally launched!

Somehow I missed seeing this post until now. The Boone carts used to be considered super rare, but a bunch of NOS got found a great many years ago and sold off, so they are more quite rare nowadays instead. Never seen pre-production copies however, and should be dumped just to compare if they are any different (unlikely as Tempest notes) to the release versions. Never heard of Ice Palace being lined up by Xonox, so VERY intrigued to see that dumped. Entry at GB64 for the C64 version of the game: https://gb64.com/game.php?id=3689 @Dougmanct if you're interested in letting the Vic20 Lancelot and Robin Hood CIB carts go, I'd be interested. I've got all four double enders and five of the eight single enders CIB, so these two would tick off only then needing one. Also if you need any advice or a hand dumping Ice Palace, ping me a message, had plenty experience over the years getting ultra rare Vic20 (and C64) titles out into the wider circle for people to play. If you've got an actual Vic20, cartridge port switcher and Commodore disk drive, you don't have to remove the chip from the board either.

Yeah I think I saw a couple of report issues when people were trying to play the Eye of the Beholder port.

The random number function was my first thought, and I see everyone else has the same opinion! If you're going for a replacement, FPGASID is the recommended choice, if you can't afford that then ARMSID.

PAL conversions of some NTSC exclusives (Baseball is Pete Rose Baseball, not the terrible Real Sports). HES was an Australian based company that released a load of 2600 titles too in clamshells, Salu sold the equivalent in Europe (mostly UK and Germany) in cardboard boxes. Don't know why some NTSC titles didn't get picked, Robotron for example or the Games considering they were hugely popular in Europe and the 2600 versions got PAL editions.

I offered to dump it, he wanted to keep it and try doing it himself, and I can't recall if anything ever further happened.

I had a full PAL silver box set, plus every NTSC exclusive, plus HES/Salu releases bar one, and pretty much sold everything a couple years back. Tank Command CIB was $400 iirc.

I can't say I ever investigated.

I will note that if the 7800 version is the same as the C64 original, a puzzle piece "guide" won't help you. Partially. There's more than 36 puzzle pieces in the game's memory, what it does is have the same nine pairs of pieces for every game, and then selects another pair from its inventory that fit with each fixed pair. So 18 pieces will be the same each game, 18 pieces will vary between each game.

Was trying to recall if anyone ever hacked it to work with joystick and crosshair but I don't think so.

Bump again

What’s with the mass restarts, finding an optimal position config to play from?

Next step really, try it on another 7800.

I can tell you right now, definitely not heh.
