New Atari Multicart ?

[panamajoe]

just stumbled across this on the german Ebay:

The seller claims to produce a 256-in-1 AtariMultiCart for 59€ !

 

Sounds pretty good... does anyone here know anything about it??

Yes: that since it contains a lot of Activision titles, it will be pulled down in few minutes.

It's basically a dipswitch cart. If you look around I'm sure you can find something better for less money. It's cheaper to add menu capability than a pair of hex switches.

Which is, sad but true. Activision is really determined to shoot themselves in the foot with the nitpicking over 20+ year old game files being run on 20+ year old hardware. They're getting to be like the big, bad penny-pinching uber-corporation that would rather piss off thier base of customers to protect thier precious "intellectual property".

It sucks, no activision roms on the site! Not even a stupid sea quest of all things.

Looks like this multicart was made recently because I noticed a few homebrews in there anyone want to sue this guy.

I must admit that they no longer have my sympathy. If they ever did, actually... I mean, one thing I clearly remember of the 70s are their prices...
