Jason_Atari Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I have picked up probably around a dozen xonox double enders since ive got back into collecting for the 2600, but ive never come across one of these with them. Its a protective cover that goes over one side of the cart while the other end is being played. How uncommon are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlepaddle Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I've never seen one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) Never seen this before. On which double-ender was it? Edited April 11, 2014 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) They came with the game(s) when new. Yeah they are kind of rare as they were usually lost. Edited April 11, 2014 by atari181 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBuff Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) I have these caps also on some of my PAL versions. Edited April 11, 2014 by AtariBuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari_Warlord Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I doubt it is worth anything even if it is rare. I still have the ones that came with the double enders I bought back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I have sold a couple for $5 ea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_Atari Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Never seen this before. On which double-ender was it? Ghost Manor/Spikes Peak, the most commonest xonox double ender had the most uncommonest dust cover lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian R. Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I have one Xonox cart. It came with the cap. I don't think it's anything special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 They came with the game(s) when new. Yeah they are kind of rare as they were usually lost. Yup. Kind of rare through loss over time. Not really valuable. If you are a completist then you'll probably want to have one in your collection. I think I only have one out of several double-enders I own.

Brian R. Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Remember, on eBay, just about everything is "rare." The rest is "ULTRA RARE!!!" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20ohm20 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 One of these came on a Ghost Manor/Spike's Peak that I bought on eBay about 12 years ago. IIRC, someone was trying to sell one of these on eBay for $40 several months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Almost all my double enders have these, IIRC, Rick was offering $20 a piece at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bfstats Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Back in the day, I bought 3 Xonox double-enders at retail. One had the cap, the other two did not. Perhaps it's something they thought of AFTER they began shipping their products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Weis Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Almost all my double enders have these, IIRC, Rick was offering $20 a piece at some point. that was some time ago I needed 2 of them have all I need now. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceDice2010 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I thought the caps were clear? Goes to show you how long it's been since I have seen one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buyatari Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 When the game was new did each box have 1 or 2 covers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBuff Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I think they just came with one cover, as the other slot should be in use all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buyatari Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I think they just came with one cover, as the other slot should be in use all the time Unless the game wasn't plugged in One cover would make sense but two wouldn't be unthinkable. Just want to be sure what is needed to make it complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I've only ever opened 1 NIB Xonox double-ender, and it had just one end cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high voltage Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 i bought my first double ender in 85, came with one cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Nobody's yet made a joke about Xonox games being better if caps were left on both ends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Xonox made excellent games, my number 1 game is Ghost Manor, such a good game, sex selection, great difficulty selection, varied game play and you get to kill Dracula. 2) Spike's Peak, a mountain climbing game that works? You betcha. Both games have an ending which is a bonus. Sir Lancelot, Joust with a twist, love it too. Robin Hood, graphically a bit of a mess, but the game play is of high quality Artillery Duel, Worms just earlier, good two player strategy Chuck Norris, ok the first bummer, but still a scrolling Kung Fu game, I play it sometimes Motocross Racer, good racer, nothing really bad about it Tomarc the Barbarian, this game doesn't work, control scheme is just awful, this game is the real stinker of the bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBuff Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I second that affection for Ghost Manor and Spike's Speak. Not too shabby games on one Double Ender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
