peopleplaygames Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I won an auction for a 2600 system and some games. one of the games is very strange looking. It has no end label, a strip of blank paper on the front, a switch between red and blue, and a blue block on the front. I tried playing it, but got either an all black screen or just some colored lines. Has anyone seen this before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Leach Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 you might have found a homemade eprom playing cart????where the prom goes in the blue green holder???? just a thought...might be a dumb idea?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yep, looks like a home made EPROM cart. The switch is to select 2K/4K ROM size. Not particularly valuable, but pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Thats actually a time machine but it only works to go back to the movie theater and see Ghostbusters 2, I couldn't give mine away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_shameless_ Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 yep, definantly a homemade eeprom cart, do you have a way of testing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Leach Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 usually I see these types of things with loads of Proms with Brown tape on them with the name of the game written on it..pretty cool nonetheless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I've seen one at a local flea market. I think it was going for over $40 bucks so it was a no-buy for me. I haven't an eeprom burner anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodos8 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 You need to obtain pirated eproms in order to test the thing. Like these pictured below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEgamer Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 You could also try to sell it as a "rare Atari tester cart" like some idiot did a while ago on ebay. I think he was asking 400 for the thing, possibly more. All I remember is that it was poorly made out of a space invaders cart and probably the worst job I've ever seen for one of these carts. It looked like someone tried to cut the hole with a dull screwdriver, then proceeded to run it over with a car to give it that vintage look.
