The promised photos of the Rev package

[townparkradio]

Below are photos of the boxes Rev sent, the Inty sent, and my current collection. The boxes are a big surprise; never expected to get them, and as you can see.. it's a Zeller's/Sears Super Arcade that was sent! I've folded the games Rev sent into my collection; he sent Pitfall, Carnival, Donkey Kong, and Atlantis. It's a good thing he did send Pitfall, because that was gnawed on and destroyed by the packrats! So were Astrosmash (grrr no HSC for me this week), Beamrider (not to worry, I had two spares), Commando (never even got to try it due to moving and housebuilding), and He-Man, but it turns out I have a little money so I think I can at least afford to buy He-Man again. Or I'll see about trading, as I have spares of Atlantis, Microsurgeon, Beamrider, Dreadnaught Factor, Beauty and the Beast and Stampede. Enough rambling, here's the images!

 

 

What can I say? I am a happy, happy man.

Oh and about Donkey Kong.... eeeeeew! Holy crap. No matter what Coleco claims, you will never convince me they didn;t do that on purpose. Never, ever. I kinda liked the 2600 one but... man did Coleco hire someone's bedridden grandmother to design this version?

Based on the thread title, I expected to see Rev's "package". I've never been so happy to have been wrong.

So this is the second thread about townparkradio's collection which has managed to take a swift detour into the gutter. There must be something in that 1970s Intellivision plastic.

 

 

(Seriously, though, kudos to Rev for sending out such a nice collection of games.)

Ouch! Did the rats* actually chew up the circuit boards? If not, you can probably pull the PCBs and put them in a different cart shell.

 

*(or whatever rodent it was -- I seem to remember it was a different species)

Yep, bushy tailed woodrats! And yes, they ate the pcbs. They're studious little pricks. some of my other carts are missing little chunks but the boards are untouched so they work fine. Commando was totally destroyed though. Ate the label, everything. Left me half a board and part of the case without label. I had to do ivnentory to figure out what it was.

[townparkradio]

Lol and I just read a message from pimpmaul asking if Commando was still in any kind of shape. sorry, it was not.

Why does every thread end up with me shagging one of the Golden Girls........not complaining....just asking!!
