Medieval Mayhem should be in everyone's collection. This game is always in our 'game night' rotation. We are hosting a birthday party for a friend in a couple of weeks and he's requested that we play Atari (specifically Medieval Mayhem). 11 hours ago, the_hawk said: I'll be picking up 7800 Arkanoid as soon as it's released though, I'd class that as an essential purchase! I think 7800 Arkanoid will be amazing, but I am a bit biased. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that you’re becoming familiar with the thread (and hopefully the Store Reviews), I dare you to not catch the bug and order more home brews. 😉 <Edit> Not responsible for future “In$piration” Btw, ZeroPageHomebrew is a good way to keep up with the latest homebrew intel. (Just in case your not aware of this). Have fun playing Atari today! I was just playing Pac-Man 4K, which I hadn't in a while, and was blown away by how great it looks, sounds and plays. Very much looking forward to Aadvark when it arrives, the box also looks amazing. Funny enough, this thread and the store review is what led me to finally get Aadvark, so you might be right. 😉 Oh I'm also expecting the Harmony cart today as well so I feel like I'm doing a good job catching the bug. In$piration!!! Now that's very accurate. 😂😂😂 Sweet, I actually wasn't aware of ZeroPageHomebrew, also love that I can catch the livestream tomorrow, nice! I will and you too! 🕹️ Edited May 19 by Atari2008 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quality of carts... generally good shape and clean? Label quality nice? I just bought 2 Odyssey2 homebrews from Good Deal Games recently. The turnaround time is really fast as is shipping, things are a little slower now as they go to the post office a bit less often due to COVID19. But still with all that it was super fast. As for the Odyssey 2 games I have, I say the labels and case design look pretty good quality to me. They're also great about returns if you decide you don't like a game for any reason. A few months back I bought a 2600 homebrew there, the quality of the label seemed good to me, but for whatever reason even after them sending me a replacement game, the game would always show a rolling image on my 2600 so I was able to return both copies for a refund. They're great to work with. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quality of carts... generally good shape and clean? Label quality nice? Michael usually ships my games out the day after i send payment. I'm pretty sure he has all of these games in stock, and aren't made on demand. The only possibly negative thing i can say, is the labels are sometimes peeling off at a corner every so often when i receive them, and i need to really press the label down, and its fine. Other than that the carts are clean, have the dust covers, and I've never recieved a non working game. Plus Michael is a real nice guy. Just an fyi, the labels are in the style of "older" homebrew releases and not the quality of Atariage labels. Just something worth mentioning.

Definitely can say buy with confidence and support his store. Lots of great homebrews for various systems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
high voltage #557 Posted May 20 (edited) Wasn't gonna post pics here anymore, but nevermind: Good Deal Games, also excellent service, great offers when buying several games. And, he gets the customs paperwork sorted, that's a plus already. And, he still sells the VideoSoft games, well worth getting Edited May 20 by high voltage 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+TrekMD #558 Posted May 20 I have been purchasing from Michael for several years and I've never had an issue. He is quick to respond and ships very quickly as well. Michael is also a cool guy. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atari2008 #559 Posted May 20 I bought these 2 KC Munchkin games from Michael at Good Deal Games, and as you can see from the case and extras (from KC's Escape), it's top notch stuff. Michael was super nice over email and shipped the games really quickly. Will definitely be a repeat customer, and if you're an Odyssey 2 fan as well, I recommend these. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
