Hi Friends I am looking for a very old game (90s) i think i can limit for it to originate on Windows 95/98, but not 100% sure. It was a game where you could play single or 2 Players. It had a Pacman like character (Blue and Red for Players i believe) and you would work on filling in squares and if you finish one, you reveal a part of the whole picture. In the Meantime there would be one ore multiple opponents (coloured black if i remember right) that clear out the lines you colored in and kill you if they reach you. The goal is to surround all boxes with your color to reveal the whole picture. Me and my relatives have searched on multiple occasions for hours unsuccessfully. And Help welcomed! Cheers

Hey all, I've been getting some real junk on ebay lately, and really I should have known better. It seems like a lot of items are full of ALL CAPS warnings like: UNTESTED, PARTS ONLY, NO WAY TO TEST, etc. Now I understand that stuff can be broken, and also that you may not have a way to test it, but I've discovered a little trick to check on the seller's honesty for untested items. At least, I hope it can help. When an auction has an UNTESTED item listed, they usually state that they don't have the power supply, TV connector, etc. so they can't try it out. A quick way to see how reasonable this is - check out the other items the person is selling. For instance, if you're buying an UNTESTED Atari 1050 drive, and the seller also has a power supply for it in a different auction, 800XL's complete with cables, and a LOT of other game/computer items that relate to your item, it's probably really not UNTESTED, it's BROKEN! A more likely scenario for UNTESTED is that the seller doesn't have anymore items that directly relate to that UNTESTED item. I hope this helps. Of course, there are exceptions - like two different auctions for related parts, but they are listed as estate/yard sale finds. Very few people (in my opinion) would be willing to sell something that can be easily tested, which would increase the sale price. Anyone have any other ideas on how to decrease your chance of not getting junk (other than not bidding!) ? Thanks! -
I will be contacting various podcasts, sites, and publications to get review copies of my two upcoming books, CoCo: The Colorful History of Tandy’s Underdog Computer (written with Boisy Pitre); and Vintage Game Consoles: An Inside Look at Apple, Atari, Commodore, Nintendo, and the Greatest Gaming Platforms of All Time (sequel to Vintage Games and written with Matt Barton); but if you qualify, please get in touch with me directly to save some time. Also, if you know of any such qualified entities or individuals, please pass along my information. Thanks for the help!
