  1. Was scanning some stuff for Romhunter and came across this neat little book published by Penguin in 1982. Here's the atari section for you enjoyment
  2. So it is just a label variation then? No difference in the actual game code. Makes me wonder about the comment on the atarimania entry for lochjaw.
  3. And PAL Sncho Dice Puzzle that isnt in the database. Cheers! Chris
  4. Here's the 1988 Yar's as promised, sorry for the delay! Chris
  5. Any one have any info of pics on these? were they ever even presented?
  6. Acording to atarimania there are some subtle differences between Lochjaw and Shark Attack, can anyone enlighten me as to what they are? Thanks! Chris
  7. Few more things I found to offer: Impossamole C64, tape, inlay & box. PS1 Music 2000 disc only Ps1 International Cricket Captain 2000, all copmplete.
  8. Thanks folks! I'm in the UK so we call the Sega Genesis Megadrive over here & Mega CD is equivalent to your Sega CD. Had both intellivision & Colecovision but to be honest can't get on with the controllers. Atari 5200 was unreleased in the PAL territories so means no end of problems and expense. Have bought 3 NES consoles in the last 3 years & all have been broken and I dumped the carts off to the charity shop. The top loader was never released in the UK(see 5200).
  9. According to the 8-bit FAQ's I have read this cart does not work on anything but the 400/800 and crashes on XL & XE hardware. Well i didn't find this out until i bought it along with some other carts, well they arrived today and it works fine on my XE GS! Just thought i'd mention this as it may help other out. Best, Chris
  10. OK I'm wondering if there are an other gaming systems worth getting out there? Here's what I have. Atari 2600 Atari XEGS Atari STE Philips G7000 Videopac Vectrex Oric 1 Dragon 32 Sinclair spectrum 48K Sinclair spectrum 128K sega Megadrive Sega Mega CD nintendo Gamecube nintendo Gameboy color nintendo Gameboy Advance nintendo Gameboy Advance SP(no sound) nintendo gameboy player Playstation ps-one Xbox Xbox 360
  11. Yep, tis an 8-bit computer cart, picked on up new last week for £3, good game for the price too! Would'nt pay £20 however.
  12. Thanks for that, make life a lot less tedious. It does seem wrong to rip a cart out with the power on however, just all those years of being instilled not to I guess.
  13. Thanks Tempest, another shoddy PAL conversion just like Battlezone. Anyone know of any other titles that were stunted like this in PAL?
  14. I have just re-read racing the Beam and in the ESB chapter in states that the game plays the star wars theme at the start and also when you get the invunerability thing after lasting 2 minutes. now i hadn't played this game for years so pulled out the cart and stuck it in to reaquaint myself with what I remember as a pretty fun game. But where is the music? I have the PAL version so do you get the music in the NTSC version and for some reason it was chopped out of the PAL release, 'cus I'm not getting jack!
  15. Nice one! I just got mine last week! They are really cheap on ebay over here in the UK at the moment. Minestorm is great, also got Scramble and berzerk, both solid fun games(I however prefer 2600 Berzerk). it a great console and there is nothing else like it. Best, Chris
  16. I bought one about 8 months ago for £17.99 brand new with 3 free movies, it started making awful noises after 3 months and microsoft replaced it for free(they really took a loss on that sale). I think it's great, as you say the films are really cheap plus it also upscales regular DVD's so you can't loose! I highly reccomened you get Planet Earth boxset, it's truly stunning and we have watched it over and over. Best, Chris
  17. I'd too like to see some more of this, nice to see a new shooter, with a different theme. Best regards, Chris
  18. Be fun to see what you can do with this a real 50's B-movie vibe. look forward to see how it goes. Best regards, Chris
  19. title says it all really, 2 great games from the Odyssey2/G7000 library, I think these would make wonderful conversions to the 2600, just look how well ladybug turned out. They are also two of the most inovative maze games from the era bet they would do well in the AtariAge Store. Anyone have any thoughts? Best, Chris
  20. Well as long as your happy with what you paid then great! No idea ehat these are worth in the USA so couldn't comment but it's the fun you get out of it that counts.
  21. Brilliant, great original idea, hope you have fun making this and I'll look forward to playing. Chris
  22. Agree with the online acheivments. Two games that bugged me about regular acheivements were Perfect Dark & Blue Dragon, both as tight as a gnats chuff!
  23. Just looking through atarimania & I have the box etc plus a much better condition cart for the 1988 Yar's Revenge. Want me to scan it ROM? Best, Chris
  24. I don't own any Telegames titles in PAL or NTSC , but as telegames was a UK company with a US division I assumed that the UK games would not have a USA logo. Apologies for wasting peoples time, just trying to be helpful. Best regards, Chris
