    My Amazing Find this weekend at my local flea market

    in Atari 2600

    Posted · Edited by cncfreak

    All I ever find are light fours and copies of Pitfall. If she goes game hunting at flea markets, you've got a pretty understanding wife, too.

     

    Yeah since early March the wife and I have started setting up at a local flea market on Saturdays and Sundays so she see's it as getting stock for the booth and she's said many times

    she also does it just to spend time with me. I also have started putting videos of me setting up at the booth as well as me game hunting out in the wild. This instance when I found the

    game, I told her, sorry hun this one goes into my collection hehe.

    My Amazing Find this weekend at my local flea market

    in Atari 2600

    Posted

    Well I decided to go to my local flea market on Sunday morning and I found probably my best find in a couple years. It was an Atari 2600 Heavy Sixer with 43 games.

    I was able to get it for $40.00 and this was in it. I've been looking for it for a decade and finally found it out in the wild.

    There was also a Death Trap in the bundle I needed as well. Those two put me right at 300 in my 2600 collection.

    The Apple ][ and /// Have the CFFA3000 and some other options.

     

    The CoCo has the CoCoSDC.

     

    There is something for the Commodore too... Don't remember the name... Need to get One or Two, since I have Two of the CFFA3000's and Two of the CoCoSDC's

    I just got a couple COCO computers about a month ago. Do they still make the SD devices for the COCO? I would love to get one.

    The Bard's Tale IV

    Legend of Grimrock and its sequel I think showed an excellent way of updating a classic first person RPG, so they merely have to look to that for inspiration on how to do a Bard's Tale 4 right.

     

    That's exactly what I'm hoping for. I liked Might and Magic X: Legacy as well.

    The Bard's Tale IV

    Yeah there never really was a true sequel, it pretty much ended with 'Thief of Fate' which I thought was great but I never finished it. I only finished the first game with with the help of the official clue book. The dungeons weren't as bad as some of the Wizardry games but it was tough. :)

     

    I used to draw the maps on graph paper while playing. These days I can't imagine spending that much time and doing that sort of thing anymore. I knew one guy in school back then who mapped out all the SSI goldbox games...he had the all these graph papers spread out on his floor in his basement taped together. Insane.

     

    I remember this ad in the magazines back in the day.

     

    My favorite to map out was Alternate Reality: The Dungeon. It's the only game I could get my sister to play with me. I let her control the character and I mapped as she walked. Good Times.

    I picked up a copy of Questron (the original) off Ebay and it came with 10+ maps on graph paper someone had done. They were actually pretty good hehe.

    There already was a Bards Tale IV. It was called Dragon Wars (they kept the BT name until late in the development cycle).

     

    This sounds more like the remake they did several years ago. If so, not interested.

    I would consider it more of a spiritual successor to the Bard's Tales series, Like Fallout was for Wasteland. There was a Bard's Tale IV being worked on by EA but of course it was canceled. For more info watch this video from Matt Barton. It starts about 8:05 and was mind blowing.

    C64 RPGs

    in Commodore 8-bit Computers

    Posted

    Sorry to bump an old thread but I'm starting to develop for C64 and thought a simple JRPG could be a good idea. Been playing Phantasy Star and the C64 needs something like that!

     

    Anyone reckon there'd be any interest?

    I think that would be a big HELLZ YEAH. Just make sure to make it compatible with the NTSC C64's. :-D

    Game(s) that you have got the biggest bang for the buck from?

    in Classic Console Discussion

    Posted · Edited by cncfreak

    The Pokemon Games of course. With the "Gotta Catch em all" mantra, I spend hundreds of hours per game.

    Dragon Warrior Monsters 1: 300+ hours

    Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: 400+ hours

    Dark Cloud 2: 115+ hours

     

    Forgot my favorite game of all time:

    Wizard's Crown and it's sequel Eternal Dagger: Hundreds of hours in both. I still pickup and play Wizard's Crown from time to time
