Anyone have Meltdown for the 2600?

According to DP: "A limited run of 50 carts were produced by Scott Stilphen in 2007."

 

If so, please post a pic.

 

Thanks.

[Mayhem]

I'm not even sure as many as that were made. If I get a chance I'll take a pic of the one I have later...

Here is my version of it.

Would something like that version be for sale, by chance?

I think I got a crappy copy of it from Hozer.That copy shown above would be nice to have though!

Hozer may provide a nice, cheap service, but having bought several carts from CPUWIZ over the years, there's a whole order of magnitude in difference as far as quality is concerned. His stuff looks like the real deal.

 

I suppose I could just buy a blank cart and do the label myself, but I'd rather support the people who really contribute to the community.

Sorry! What's with these double posts? These new .php sites or whatever, sure are confusing and really,

non of them are very intuitive. ALL of them :-(

Agree about the Hozer stuff vs. The Wiz's. Randy's a good guy though and one of the very first to have supported this whole homebrew

scene. Knew him when he lived here in WI and still have my original copies of Edtris & Oystron. ROTFLMAO!

 

Anywho... doesn't or didn't Sean Kelly have these (Meltdown) boxed? I could have sworn I saw a handful of Meltdown's at the Midwest

Gaming Classic a year or two ago. Passed on it myself since it looked lame, but bought a boxed/new Looping Coleco proto :-)

Sean's another great guy that has been in it since and before the dawning of the homebrew/multi-cart/copy days.

 

-update-

 

I just got through playing a round of Edtris and just noticed something really funny: the label is starting to mottle! lol Yeah, the

plain papered B/W label is starting to "mottle" around the edges, just like an Activision cart. <sigh> And I've never even touched

the label!! lol

 

Hmm... might just have to get a new label for that game made :-(

Very nice.

I own the proto....the one that appears on Tempest's website....

Did the EPROM in that one get fixed?

[+Wonder007]

Yes, it works perfectly (Tempest had it fixed). I play with it a lot, it is a very fun game....

[jaybird3rd]

I made my own Meltdown cartridge. I agree that it's a great 2600 game.

Tempest,

 

Is your fixed version 100% identical to the Meltdown ROM floating around the net earlier?

 

[CPUWIZ]

Would something like that version be for sale, by chance?

 

I have 3 of these for sale at the moment. Asking $25 + shipping.

[Wickeycolumbus]

Yes, it works perfectly (Tempest had it fixed). I play with it a lot, it is a very fun game....

 

Glad to hear that Are there two Meltdown protos, or is that the only one?

[CPUWIZ]

I have one left now.

[+Wonder007]

Not sure.....I believe that most of the code was in the eprom for the one I own.

Wow! I never realised Tempest got that one to work. Its good that it all worked out well in the end.

That's news too me too. Is it really true?

I found this old post on the subject if anyone is interested. Looks like there are two different versions.

There is also an old topic that is only about this Meltdown prototype, and it was locked years ago because a mod who is no longer on AA was apparently tired of people constantly bumping it, asking if there was any more news. Clearly we had significant interest in it, and I'm personally wondering why the topic was not unlocked and updated with the news if it was indeed fixed.
