How hard is it to find/obtain Elevator Action?

[SHAGOHOD X99]

I didn't even realize Elevator Action had gotten a release

on the ATARI 2600 VCS, and now that I know about it I'd like to

find me a copy (don't care if it's CIB, just nice cartridge) for my

collection. Since the Atari Ages website has it listed as a reproduction

and self published, just how hard is it to get one if you weren't at

that CGE event where it was unleashed?

all you need is Stella, a Supercharger, or a Cuttlecart.

Better yet make your own cart;)

This takes some skill as it's an 8K SARA chip (extended memory) game.

It might be hard to find. If you're just in the market for a reproduction (not the same series that got released at CGE) then there is one person off the top of my head who makes good repos. Not to mention his name, but I'll say he is a WIZ at what he does. He must have the brain of a CPU to pull off his craft.

So you're saying I have to BUILD my own 2600 Cart then?

If so that's a bit too much for me, I'm interested in finding one

already made and ready to go, much the same as any cartridge

one would buy.

If that repo works is all I care. Whom might this person be

and what ballpark figure would I be looking at price wise?

kinda like a puzzle start with C end with Z!

 

If he'll help you out you can surely trust him as he's topnotch

Here are some scans of the boxed copy I got some time ago, I think about 2 years ago or so.

Elevator Action is also on ebay every so often.

[sku_u]

I have an extra I'd sell if you want one.

[CPUWIZ]

The only way to play this is on a Cuttle Cart or Kroko Cart, SuperCharger will not work, as this is a 8K SuperChip (aka. SARA) game. Making one of these would not be trivial, as there are no PCB's available that support the SuperChip (yet ). I'd take sku_u up on his offer, or pay through the nose on ePay for one.

[RickHarrisMaine]

I use an elevator to get to my office every day, and while there are lots of babes on the elevator, alas, there is no action for me.

Wow... and this guy's name just happens to be CPUWIZ...

 

CPU.... WIZ.... *nudge nudge hint hint*

I bought the boxed repoduction on ebay last year for around $45

Too late. Someone saw my post and it will be shipped off to that person in a few days.

[Mayhem]

How about the value of an unopened one? Yeah, I wasn't at CGE 2001 (2002 was my first) but I got the game off someone in the UK and was surprised to find it wasn't opened (the Combat 2 I also got from him was however).

I have never sealed any of the C2-games so it's no surprise;)

"GAWD DANGIT BLOB!"

 

...for some reason the thread thingy

didn't light up on my screen and I just

now saw all of the other replies to this thread

only to learn it's sold.

 

 

oh well, if anyone has one up for sale I'll pay up

to $60.00 right off the bat for it, of course I'm

assuming it be in good condition & playable since it's

not that old of a game (well release wise anyhow).

I can pay PayPal but I'd prefer to use US Postal Money

Order simply because I'm trying not to use the card too

much as I need to pay some bills off first, but will if I have

to. I can provide stellar feedback from various places I

have done business with ppl if any respective sellers of this

game should see this thread and want to sell.

To those who said EBAY, I've been checking and nada

mucho is all I see on this one, and a man's got to sleep

sometime.

Pretty steep though. Might have to pay the bill by becoming a guinea pig and testing some new experimental drugs for a pharmaceutical company.

Yeah I saw that a few minutes ago actually. I'd bite

but I don't have that kind of money to burn right now

sadly. I mean I'm used (well I was in the past) to paying

those kinds of prices for Neo:Geo AES/MVS carts but for a

2600 game? ---Sad thing is I'd pay it if I had it to burn but

if I'm going to spend that amount I'd need to be getting more

than one game. It's tempting but I'd deserve it when

my wife kicked me square in the ass when she saw the VISA

bill, so probably not this time. I'm sure I could find it as a ROM

for emulation but I like to own the actual product.

 

{Me wonders if I'll ever get me a copy of this}

Yeah, nothing like coming home and finding all your clothes thrown out on the lawn. Why don't you just download the rom and try it out then? It's in AA's rarity guide.

He is a swell person with a lot of skills. Trust me, his repros will knock your socks off.

Just so you know, I sold mine for that price, so that's a very fair offer to make. If someone has an extra, I'msure they'll PM you. If not they come up from time to time on Ebay.

It's cool, but you could've even PMed me and asked

for $80.00 and I'd have bought right then and there

too. *Of course when ppl say "Reproduction" cart

we're talking about a normal 2600 looking cartridge

here like what is pictured on the game at the Atari

Age website right?

 

I did some more checking though on the game last

night and learned it doesn't even have sound, let alone

music (I always loved the theme). Didn't realize that @

first actually. I knew it was an unreleased prototype but

I had thought someone had finished it then released a

small copy of them. Thus knowing that now, it be hard

for me to pay anything more than $80.00 cause it just

wouldn't be the same without the sound. The bugs and

floating in air thing I could handle. Oh well, I lost out on

the one you were selling cause I'm mortal and had to get

some sleep. [someday]
