TPR Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 This does not look like a real TeleGames Meteoric Shower to me. That guy's Kung Fu Superkicks also looks like a fake. But he's claiming he bought them directly from TeleGames. Or were these eColeco releases? Anyone know for sure? @NIAD @Ikrananka ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/304067996856 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My assumption is that they originated with eColeco. This is what the cartridge internals should look like, which doesn't match the TeleGames constructions I've seen ... but I could be wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Either eColeco or Walters Software Co. made that Meteoric Shower cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Quick question for those in the know: This was released by CollectorVision years ago, right? https://www.ebay.com/itm/224041099079 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was sold as a kit, i.e. you had to provide your own original Probe 2000 box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Here is a picture of the kit, but the box was not included as it was made and sold separately in a small quantity by phattyboombatty. The WarRoom cartridge was not included, but pictured for reference for those that wanted their LotD cart PCB to be housed in a Probe 2000 re-purposed cartridge case.

For homebrew boxes, I can usually just ask the homebrew publisher for the box image (which is then easily converted into trading card format) but this Lord of the Dungeon box is a little special so if I could find someone who owns this exact box, I would ask him to scan it for my trading card project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I scanned the entire box but don’t recall if the LotD manual was inserted. I will check later… if I forget send me a gentle nudge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very well, and while we're on the subject, please refresh my memory: Was this box/manual "kit" made for existing prototype carts of Lord of the Dungeon, or were new PCBs of the game made in parallel to the kits?

NIAD Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 CollectorVision made the kit and included a naked cart PCB. From there it was up to each purchaser to complete things with a box and repurposed cart shell. Aside from that, I don’t think any consideration was given to previous releases such as the CGE release circa 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I produced everything in this picture except the instructions, the black label and the PCB. I was having trouble remembering if I did those instructions, and then I remembered that I did the Power Lords instructions, but not that one.

Bartsfam Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Sheesh! $162.50 for CV puffy stickers? I bought a bunch for $12 a piece two years ago. It amazes me the money that people get with the hit or miss market. Next week, they'll probably be back to $12 a pack. https://www.ebay.com/itm/255234671132?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Well, I take that back. A new listing for $150. https://www.ebay.com/itm/194543335377?hash=item2d4bafb7d1:g:CSUAAOSw2LhhoXz1 Edited November 27, 2021 by Bartsfam update 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
