Atari_Bill Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 It’s been close to the top of my CV want list for some time. Only missing a few easier to manage Xonox titles and unfortunately SuperSketch ? to finish out my set. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You doing the 5 telegames titles too, or 8 with the bit rereleases? They seem to have become about the hardest ones now.

They seem to have become about the hardest ones now. You ask all the hard questions! ? I’m doing mix (no way I can afford complete boxed set) although I do have a few nice condition boxed titles such as Imagic Tournament Tennis and Up n Down. I think my spreadsheets have me at about 68% of the boxes. I had originally planned to include everything, but the bit titles are insane and even some of the telegame titles so no, I’ve excluded them. I have a couple CIB telegames and one CIB bit Corp Meteoric Shower which is an early reproduction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBreakout Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Well, I just bought a Jaguar Team Tap. Not like this is a huge deal, considering they can be had on ebay for < $20, and they only work for 2 released games and a homebrew or two (hiya CyranoJ and your Gauntlet port!) Anyways, one's coming to Rough and Ready. I'm soon intending my friends to come over and try 4-player Gauntlet 2. Also I have aspirations to develop for the Jaguar and it's nice to have the hardware in-hand in case it ever gets hard-to-find. Figure it can't get cheaper than $20. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Pendleton Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Cotton Reboot! showed up a few minutes ago. Darius Extra Version for the Mega Drive also showed up but apparently I have to pay for shipping on that one and had no cash, so that's coming back this afternoon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sramirez2008 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Ordered in November and it arrived today, well worth the wait (thought it might have been lost). Patience is certainly required during these (COVID) times. Shout-out to @Marc Oberhäuserfor another magnificent box. My cart now has a proper home (when not in use). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 A few Christmas gifts that I’m finally putting away. A couple cool new masks, the Fossil Asteroids watch (I’ve got the Breakout one too), and a really cool pac man ghost created from 30 mini Rubik’s cubes. Each has to be solved to a particular order to combine for the picture! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I also got a few nice acrylic sets that should display really well. I believe my wife got these from a seller on Reddit? I really like them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+stupus Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) We loved all ours for the various epyx Olympic games and defender of the crown on the c64. We did break some but we used the hell out of them Edited March 1, 2021 by stupus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krslam Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Definitely my goto stick for the 64. Lefties really don't like them, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard quite a few comments of people that hate it too. Using a leather driving glove, as pictured in the ad, might actually work. The stick always feels good at first, but over time my hand starts to tire and cramp. Extra padding would be welcome. I still like the 500xj, even though I have to occasionally put it down and use a different controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainBreakout Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I bought this last week, but just got it installed in the game room today. Pic from the ReStore, aka the Habitat for Humanity store. Old school stereo cabinet!! (It even had a rca patch cord hanging out of the back -free! ? ) They don't make em anymore. I know... on a whim I went in an upscale furniture store on my lunch today... not a one on the floor! Anyways, I ended up with one console too many for my old victrola cabinet. Actually about five consoles too many. So here's their new home. Looking forward to wiring em all in this weekend. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainBreakout Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Will do! Here's a WIP pic. I just flipped the hinges around, and the consoles inside are kinda mock-ups. My kids were playing 2600 Sesame Street games this weekend, and the controllers are still out, as you can see up top. (inside, that's a mini playstation and c64, btw, so the scale doesn't throw you ). N64 and C64... together at last? I just discovered I can remove the wood panel from the bottom and replace it with glass. I might do that. I'm thinking it would be nice to make the bottom compartment the consoles that you'd need to drag out of the cabinet to play, so you can access the on-board switches and stuff. In my case that's the Atari 2600, the Intellivision and the pong machine (Bentley Compu-Vision). (Now that I have the room, I'm in the market for a Fairchild Channel F -please PM me if you've got one for sale) I'll post a nicer pic when it's finished. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeatari1 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I scored a really nice pickup from Craigslist. Two Playstation 2s, a ton of games (most of which I don't already have), five controllers and a carry bag all for $60. I also got one of Bratwursts 7800 joysticks. I really like the feel of it and it was a fair price too. Thanks again Bratwurst! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Anyone ever come across one of these? It’s a 5 page flip book on card stock that provides suggestions and help for retail sales on how to sell the product. 1982 date. You’d think they would have figured it out by then. Seemed pretty unique. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People in my area don't use CL anymore, it's all FB marketplace & offerup where people think their ps2 console is worth $150 without any accessories, video included. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
