Rhindle The Red Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 Got a quick question about these guys. (They're at www.myatari.com.) Has anyone bought any of these games from them? I'm particularly interested in Jr. Pac-Man, Super Pac-Man, & Superman III. Are they complete games? Are they any good? This is what they say they have. I'd appreciate any info on anything listed here.

Tempest Posted July 10, 2001 Share Posted July 10, 2001 I've bought alot of Atari XE games from Bruce and the gang at B&C. I've always been impressed with the selection and service (boy does this sound like a paid advertisment or what?) Off that list I've bought: Superman III - Very odd game, I guess it could be complete. you just fly around a grid of cities shooting missiles with your eye lasers or cold breath (I don't remember). Not alot of fun from what remember (haven't plugged it in since). Super Pac-Man - Just like my Atari 5200 proto, this is a spot on Arcade conversion, It's amazing how much like the Arcade it is. Jr. Pac-Man - Just like the 5200 proto again, almost exactly liek the arcade (ie. very good). I don't know about Kangaroo, Berzerk, or StarGate but I assume they'd be just like their 5200 counterparts. Tower Toppler - I heard this is in Black and White for some reason, I'm not sure if it's true or not. I also heard they were just about ready to ship this game before they cancelled it. Translator - I've got the cart, it's a bit odd. You plug it in, pull it out, then plug in the game you want to play. It works, but sometimes you have problems when you pull the cart out (1 of ever 10 times). BTW, you do know that those prototypes are just copies right?

Rhindle The Red Posted July 10, 2001 Author Share Posted July 10, 2001 Thanks. I suspected they were copies, but for the three I mentioned, I don't really care. I try to get all Atari Pac-Mans (Pac-Men? Pacs-man?) and I'm one of the few (the proud?) who really liked Superman III. For those anything that works is fine.

Old Man Atari Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) I too have bought quite a bit from Bruce at B&C. Shipping is fast, packing is great and the items are always as described. Over the last 30 or so years I've bought a dozen XEGS games. Lots of parts for repair. I too never liked Superman III, but it is "Copy of an Original" Atari prototype game. There are, without looking 35-40 known Atari Proto's out there. To a collector these are are Gold. Everyone deserves to have a few of theses. I may not have bought all these titles from B&C, regarding the loose carts, as I live in Minnesota and I also stared to buy a lot from Lance of Video-61. However, I do own the following loose carts. MYDOS ON CART 4.X XL/XE ---------- I believe mine is 4.3 an looks to have come from Best Electronics.

Time will tell....maybe in the next 20 yrs... Well, there was the sequel that wasn't a sequel that started life as The Last Starfighter, but since you said a true sequel, I'm assuming you're excluding that one. The sequel that was meant to really follow-up on the original was really far along, but never saw the light of day officially. It was released here on AA a couple of years ago, but I'm sure you're aware of it as well. Other than those two, I'm not aware of anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, 21 years! That's gotta be some kind of record. Edited February 27, 2022 by bfollowell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I thought the same re the length of time....It's the biggest necrothread time I've ever seen on here.. Don't worry about it sailing over your head, my humour can be a little obscure at times.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
