How can I get a Pepsi Invaders replica cart?

Recommended Posts

My aunt has a massive Coca Cola collection that takes up the entire basement of her home. I'm not sure how much square footage it takes up, but it is huge. It contains antique Coke machines, Coke coolers, and a Coke motorcycle. Because of that I try to keep an eye out for things she doesn't already have. Today I was thinking that Pepsi Invaders would be a nice addition. They are obviously very rare, so I was wondering if it would be frowned upon if I had a replica cart made from the rom if I were to label it a replica? If it would be considered ok, would somebody here be willing to burn me one for a fee?

 

Thanks,

 

Aaron

You know what I'd consider to be even cooler? Hacking the text message displayed at the top into something custom and having the Al's burn it for you. No way for it to be confused with legit carts, and it's specially designed for ya :)

That actually would be really cool... I'm not sure I could pay for that amount of work. Sounds like quite a bit of effort for someone. I have successfully done a bit of 2600 programming, but I haven't finished an entire game yet. Anyway, I'm open to discussing it, but it obviously depends on the cost whether I move forward on it or not. Might be an interesting label contest though. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how I could combine a pic of Cindy Crawford, spaceships, and a coke can into a humorous, but cool looking and pro-coke label.

Inserting a message about as short as "Coke wins" would be easy. You could probably do it yourself. Or you could hire me, and I'm sure that you could afford it. ;)

Check this thread to see how you can change the text message yourself using the 2600GFX programs (or HackOmatic/AHD). The "coke" part is basically a 16x10 bitmap, while "wins" is 32x10

Thanks for the info. I will look into it. If it's just a matter of changing the bitmap, I can probably do that. I've had an offer from someone to make the cart for me. That's really the biggest obstacle for me. I don't have any eprom programming equipment... or know how to sodder for that matter.

 

:) Thanks,
