bennybingo Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Purchased!!! (along with a few other goodies) Thanks for the heads up!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) I think you got the screenshot mixed up for UFO Patrol. You have a picture of Time Warp, which was released in NTSC by Zellers. UFO Patrol should look something like this (which is also known as X'Mission): Edited November 4, 2012 by Omegamatrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianoid Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I hope Atari2600.com does more posts here occasionally. I forget to check the site regularly and when I get to buy these types of releases it causes me to hunt around the site, which is full of gems.

Marc Oberhäuser Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Just a head-up that I have done repro boxes for the three games. A box (+ cartridge holder) is EURO 14.00, worldwide shipping is EURO 4.00 for up to 6 boxes. Thanks to Joe for let me promote my boxes here:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymailman Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Got mine today. Looking at the Atarimania site these are not PAL exclusives. Firebug = Spinning Fireball (NTSC) http://www.atarimania.com/game-spinning-fireball_s13707.html UFO Patrol = Time Warp (looks like it is not the X'mission game) Farmyard Fun was released in NTSC by Taiwan http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-farmyard-fun_12988.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianoid Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Good luck finding Spinning Fireball and Farmyard Fun in NTSC format outside of my collection. As far as I know, I own the only prototypes for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennybingo Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Does anyone have the instructions for these 3? I got mine, and would love to see the manual. Farmyard Fun and Firebug are confusing to say the least!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmyard Fun and Firebug are confusing to say the least!!! Agreed, I think I've figured out Farmyard Fun. It seems to be a dot-eating type game. I have no idea yet on Firebug.

Impaler_26 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Agreed, I think I've figured out Farmyard Fun. It seems to be a dot-eating type game. Yep, you have to collect the eggs (=eat the dots) in Farmyard Fun. You can also jump on the back of the Swan by pressing Fire and if you jump into the "pot" in the upper left corner on the screen you'll turn into a dot and become invincible for a while. It's actually a pretty neat game IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbalion Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I just got these three games from my mom for Christmas. Soon I will hook the 2600 back up and try them out! Either that or plug the 2600 adaptor into my already hooked up 5200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
