Mclaneinc #3 Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Scooter, what's your address and when are you next out Did I mention I'm a hobby locksmith (Actually true) Seriously, lovely collection there, I lost all my carts but there was nothing amazing in them, basically whatever we stocked at Maplin that I liked... Lovely idea for a thread... Edited February 10, 2016 by Mclaneinc 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scooter83 #4 Posted February 10, 2016 Honestly I love seeing new carts and variations I didnt know exist. I know some people have even more amazing collections than I and I would love to check out what is out there in the world of A8. Plus if anyone have prototype demo carts to show Id really be interested in seeing those. Mclane if your looking for any send me a message I have a group lot I will be posting up forsale before I go back to work . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mclaneinc #5 Posted February 10, 2016 Thank you Scooter but I no longer have the space or funds to collect but I expect many on here will bite your hand off if the price is right.. Paul.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scooter83 #6 Posted February 10, 2016 Oh im sure they wont be too expensive. best title in the duplicate pile was mario bros. I figured id offer u first incase you had interest. but these things are hard to come by and about a year or 2 back i hit a wall. From finding things on a regular enough basis to nothing.. Its kinda sad. At least looking at other collections makes me feel like im window shopping lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mclaneinc #7 Posted February 10, 2016 I like to look like the kid before Xmas just to relive the buzz when you saw them brand new in the box begging you to take them home A bit sad I know but good times... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scooter83 #8 Posted February 10, 2016 I grew up on the XEGS right at the end of the atari hey day. Kids were playing Super mario bros 1 2 and 3 and I was enjoying Blue Max, Pole Position and dont forget the books that had the programs you type in. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Dangerous #9 Posted February 10, 2016 What type of storage containers are those? Have a growing XEGS and A8 collection that is still stacked in a neat pile in my gaming room...would really like something to keep the dust off. Nice collection!

MrFish #10 Posted February 10, 2016 Nice stacks of goodies you've got there. Anything that hasn't been dumped to the public yet? For instance, I don't recall seeing a copy of that V61 Nibbler ROM before... I guess V61 has quite a few odd repros and protos. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scooter83 #11 Posted February 10, 2016 Im not sure to be honest. I figured anything V61 sold in the late 90s would have been public released by now. Ill make you a list real quick and let me know if anything needs to be dumped. I dont have to equipment to do it but im sure it can get done. Aztec Challenge Bubble Trouble Getaway ( 64K ) Hard Hat Mack Laser Gates Lost Tomb, The MASH Midas Maze ( 48K) Mr. Robot Nibbler Pac Man Intermission Version Plaque Man ( 400/800 ) Preppie Preppie II Quick Step Shadow World Star Gate Stratos Wing War Zorro Zybex ( 64K ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrFish #12 Posted February 10, 2016 All of these have been dumped already: Lost TombMr. RobotShadow WorldStar GateZorroZybex The rest haven't, as far as I know. I guess you mean "Midi Maze" there, not "Midas Maze"? You can dump these using an Atarimax USB Cartridge Programmer Well worth the money if you're a cartridge collector. It's simple and quick to use.

MrFish #13 Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) I guess you mean "Midi Maze" there, not "Midas Maze"? OK, maybe not. I see there is a game from Analog called Midas Maze. I'd never heard of it before. Edited February 10, 2016 by MrFish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atari8bitCarts #15 Posted February 10, 2016 I just finished building out a room in my home for my collection, not quite complete but here's a preview. I have carts everywhere Boxed, then loose again, and then dup's... see the Atlantis International version. I hadn't seen that one before. Many Romox. Many utilities. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
