Not bad, you got 2 7800 controllers, and a bunch of games. Should provide $40 worth of entertainment.

Great find , and welcome aboard!

 

At your leisure , you'll want to check out Robotron. This would truly make a great addition to your library.

Here's a word of advice. If you can do so comfortably, hold the two controllers so you can use them as thumbsticks when playing Robotron (i.e. cup your fingers under the controllers and put your thumbs on top of the joysticks). Once I started to do that I really liked the game. Of course, I apparently have crazy monkey hands, so maybe this won't be everyone's cup of tea.

 

By the way, good pick up on the 7800. Now go buy PacMan Collection, and start a new "anymore Beef Drops" thread in hopes of getting a copy of that too.

Thanks everyone, i appreciate the responses. i do plan to buy a pac man collection very soon, but burgertime has never been my cup of tea, so i may be skipping on beef drop.

Cool beans! And those are some really good games, especially Crossbow!

Does crossbow support the 7800/XE lightgun?

 

Also, if anyone wants one of those extra centapede carts, id be happy to send it for for just the S/H fees!

Seeing that no one is going to take me up on the offer in the High Score Club, feel free to PM me if you want free loose copies of Joust and Dig Dug to build up your collection. I just got boxed copies of the games, and don't like to have two copies of each for no good reason, as it means some 7800 carts are not getting played, which is a crime.
