  1. Really depends if you like 1- on -1 fighting games? The Neo seems to have little else readily available, I don't so sold mine after a few weeks, it's also big, and loads slowly and feels very cheaply made. I don't know much about the Pipin apart from it was based on a Mac PPC 603 right? As far as quirky goes the Pippin has the win in my book!
  2. according to the book Racing the Beam, the first two were Combat & video olympics, they started coding them before the hardware was actually finished, 1975 or 76 as I remember. As for last game i would guess a Salu release, maybe acid Drop, Pick N' Pile or ghostbusters 2. Best, Chris
  3. List updated, also consider purchase on some of those 2600 games so let me know what you have! Or if anyone has a lot of what I need, i'll trade for a 520STE, boxed with games etc.
  4. I know some carts had extra memory on the boards, CBS RAM plus, Burgertime. Anyone have a list of these. Also what was the largest cart released back in the day? Thanks, Chris
  5. That's very interesting Curt. I take it from the multi-lingual text that the cat is from the abortive PAL launch? Hope you are well on the road to recovery Best regards, Chris
  6. Hi, am after a working PAL 240V Colecovision with PSU & pads & Donkey Kong. Will pay £30(UKP) + S/H, extra games also considered depending on price. Also after Gameboy Burgertime Deluxe cart, will pay £5(UKP) shipped. Finally 2600 Journey escape, will pay £3 shipped. Best, Chris
  7. I'm not a programmer, so I wouldn't know how. But, since the game is just a clone of Scramble, wouldn't it be possible to modify the sprites? I know if that's possible it can be done on Vectrex, C64, and Vic-20 since all have home ports of it. There isn't a Scramble 2600 There is a Super Cobra though Maybe Planet Patrol would be better to hack, at least it scrolls smoothly?
  8. Lynx games available again as the deal fell through. Chris
  9. The first game I bought with my own cash was a sale price (£40 reduced from £200) Oric Atmos system with games bundle, back in 1984,our local co-op electrical store was closing and i went in on the last day and there it was, took me months to pay back my dad for the loan The replacement I bought a few years ago cost twice that at least from ebay
  10. 4K means the price will be lower for the carts also which is good for everyone. Simple game that is tons of fun that will be avalible for a fair price. sounds good to me shaun, count me in. would this be the first official licenced homebrew?? I hope your not going to get all coporate on us
  11. One wonders how much faith Atari had in the 5200 as it never even got an international launch at the height of the videogame boom. anyone know the thinking behind no PAL release for the 5200? To the best of my knowledge it's the only major system from Atari never to see the light of day in the UK. Best regards, Chris
  12. Really good game Steve, I'm having fun playing this one a lot! Best, Chris
  13. Hi all, I have a nice fully working 520 STE with cables, mouse, box, inner polys, manual & a decent collection of games including Dungeon master etc. i never really got into it & it's too big for me to keep set up so | never play it. I would like to get an Atari 400 with tape deck & cables etc in working order with a few games instead. would also consider an intellivision or Colecovision with some carts. I'm in the UK so because of voltage/PAL and shipping considerations this is a UK only offer. Anyone interested? I get make some pics etc & list games. Best, Chris

  17. Back when I was a kid a few kids i knew had the G7000 I think it sold pretty well over here, probably better than the Intellivision and Colecovision to be honest, I never knew anyone have one of those back in the day, only saw Colecovision on display in Woolworths along with the Vectrex. All the big outlets used to have G7000 displays, Rumbelows, WH Smiths, John Menzies etc. I think like all the consoles over here by the time Philips pulled the plug in 1984 the computers had taken over the market and that was somewhat struggling, remember Dragon, Oric & even Sinclair colapsed about then, cheap cassette games took over from expensive carts. I have seen some new in box G7000 games on ebay still with Menzies £7.99 stickers on but when this price was current I have no way of knowing. As to the machine itself, I recently got a boxed one from ebay with 10+ games for less than £20. I am really enjoying it to be honest, the graphics are simple but nice and clear and bright, the RF output is exceptionally crisp and clear, the animation is also very smooth and no flicker. The games I have are a mixed bag, Munchkin and Crazychase are very good, Turtles is also very fun. I also got a complete Quest for the Rings(the hybrid board/video game) that I have yet to play, the physical presentation of the package is however superb, lovely thick board, beautiful manual and metal game pieces, best video game packaging ever!
  18. Also look at this thread, ton of games to burn to CD all hacked by Nukey Shay, lots of enhancements & NICE PAL 60 versions, pure gold! http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...c=65897&hl=
  19. There was no release of Frogger on the NGP that I know of. yeah your right, had a brain freeze, was thinking of pacman, was playing nukey shay's hack at the same time as posting!
