MichaelJMcKernan Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 I've thought of making a large mosaic in the shape of Pac man out of the ultra rare 2600 Pac Man cart...anybody ever do anything stupid with carts like that before?

As a matter of fact, I was planning on doing something like that with Berzerk carts if I ever get my rec room finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sku_u Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 CPUWIZ is gonna corner the dig dug market. oh no! Well...he just added an addition to his house and decided that since the rest of the house's walls, furniture, shower curtains are made out of Atari carts, he wanted to have an entire room wallpapered with nothing but Dig Dug carts since that has always been his favoriite 2600 game.

CPUWIZ Posted August 17, 2003 Author Share Posted August 17, 2003 LMAO, nobody seems to have any extra Dig Dug's at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I'm keeping mine and you know why. :wink: 5-11under Not really. Because it's got the Superchip separate from the ROM chip. 5-11under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desolate One Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I actually don't even have one for the 2600! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscott Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 i'll see if i have any around, i owe you for the froggers, but pray tell why do you need only dig dugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I suspect that has a lot to do with Eckhart's new 144kb 7800 dev project. Reading on the specs for that...the super chip is used in one of the ram cart projects. Perhaps CPUWIZ has some plans to sell off a few?

CPUWIZ Posted August 20, 2003 Author Share Posted August 20, 2003 Not one single cart, not one. Oh well, perhaps I won't attempt this project afterall. And no, it has nothing to do with a 7800 RAM cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xot Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Mayhaps the rarity of "2" needs to be called into question. I certainly think it warrants at least a 3. I don't see nearly as many Dig Dugs as I do, say, Berzerks or Space Jockeys. I'd help you out if I could CPUWIZ, but I have no spare Dig Dugs nor have I seen any. What DID happen to all the ones used at the Dig Dug Drop, anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candiru Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Now I understand about the people walking away with injuries. Sort of like a balloon drop, only pointier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Rescue Group Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I've plegded 2 Dig Dugs for CPUWIZ's project (whatever it is). I'm guessing it's not a napkin-holder contraption. There must be some more of them out there...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xulchris Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I think maybe you can make NTSC Klax carts with them? I don't know, can you burn a Klax ROM onto a used DigDug chip? I checked my stash and I don't have any extra's, sorry cpuwiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oesii Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 You know I went through about 5 or 6 hundred commons today at the flea market and not one Dig Dug. I was wondering if one of your spies had already raided the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 I only had one spare that I can remember, and it was a gift from a friend (he'd even written his name on it as a kid, it was a "Coxed" cart). I saved a couple of boxes from the Dig-Dug Drop that weren't crushed in the stampede and put it in a box with the instructions and gave it back to him as a gift, and kept the other for another loose copy I found. I really think there's no conspiracy here. Dig-Dug just happens to be a really good VCS game. Not an arcade perfect translation, but a damn fine translation considering what console it's on. Therefore people who have it keep it and who don't want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
