@Ben from Plaion Do you know if Atari will be releasing new 7800 carts for it?

I can't wait for mine. I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I'm not too worried about compatibility as I only intend to buy brand-new releases for it, which will obviously work, haha.

Sorry, I have looked and I don't even seem to have the rom file anymore. It's out there though as I have seen it included in rom packs - there are plenty of alternatives too

Whoa, really?

Haha, no longer have a Jag.

As the title says - it's the last cart I need to complete the Radofin/Hanimex/Acetronic/Prinztronic/Fountain etc. 1292/1392 game collection. I will pay very good money for a good condition, complete unit. Cheers!

I bought two carts and adapters for myself and a friend's Fountain consoles (my friend also has a Tunix (Arcadia compatible)). Bloody awesome piece of kit! A couple of the games weren't released here - the Winter Games and tech demo really wowed me - I didn't know the machine was that capable! Thanks @Rolo - super happy with out carts!

My cart just arrived - works beautifully on my Fountain Force 2 I highly recommend PMing Rolo if you want one - I doubt he'll make them/have them in stock forever!

I would love to get some info/quotes from you for my article! Happy to plug the book too, of course!

EDIT: I just realised you're looking for the Radofin one in particular. Oops! Are you still looking? The cover feature in issue #4 of NZ Retro is all about the Fountain game console (New Zealand 1292). I'm going to be shooting mine and all of the games (I have every game title boxed (the hobby module and three dual-game carts that were NZ only). Happy to send you shots - I have a pretty much brand new system in box. I teased the magazine with this and hardly anyone got it. Jesus, people were guessing Mario! Haha. I was kinda surprised as the Fountain was REALLY popular here - more so than the Atari 2600.

WELL WHEN YOU PUT IT THAT WAY... !

I was a wee bit angry and I take back what I said about him being a c$%t. He clearly just has issues - I have struggled with an unwell brain as well, so who am I to judge? It's clear that he's very insecure and that's really sad but there is one thing to consider - a lot of people worked with Tommy for a very long time and none of them have come out and said anything negative about him (as far as I know, at least), so he can't be that much of a horrible person to be around. I think we just have a man with some serious delusions of grandeur who thought he'd be the next console king and he went completely the wrong way about everything. I don't believe the Amico ever started out as a scam - he's WAY too vain to destroy his reputation on purpose. In saying all that, I hope there are repercussions for his (and other Intellivision members') actions. They done @$#%ed up, man!

Hi everyone, Just thought I'd let you know that issue #3 of my little gaming magazine is available now. International orders welcome (or you can order directly from you 'local' Amazon). I know I say "magazine", but it's really a full colour paperback book. The quality is super nice - really sturdy cover and nice, thick paper - perfect for collectors! You can grab a copy from www.nzretro.com or Amazon, as previously stated. Of course, issues 1 & 2 are also available (digital versions are FREE) if you want to catch up and issue #4 will be out early January. Cheers!

That's the one thing I believe now. They have the same legal surname, at least. If Tommy was going to fake it he would have been dumb enough to call himself Tommy Tyler. I can't believe I fell for Tommy's bullshit. I thought he was a genuine guy who wanted to make a console and he just stuffed things up. Nope, he's a blatant liar and a right C$%T. I wish I'd never given him the time of day. I'm thankful that the Amico Development team never got back to me, though (I had even signed an NDA)! I mean, I lost my initial deposit for the Founder's Edition Amico but that's nothing compared to not being paid to develop a videogame.

Jebus - I think I'll pass at that price, haha.

This or the Evercade VS, IMHO.

Thanks! Sorry, I keep missing replies as this account is linked to an old email. I must change this. LOL

Hi everyone, I launched NZ Retro Magazine in April and I have just released issue #2. The response has been overwhelmingly positive! I know the title has NZ in it but there's plenty of content suitable for overseas folks. In fact, there's really only one local feature (plus a collection tour) each month - even then I think you'll find those pretty interesting, too! In issue #2 I go over the Road Rash series, review the Evercade VS, check out a massive Sega collection and much more! If you're in New Zealand you can grab the magazine from www.nzretro.com or you can pick it up from your local Amazon if you're anywhere else in the world. Both issues are available in print and PDF forms (the latter from www.nzretro.com) and I'll upload the Kindle edition of issue #2 shortly. Issue #3 will be available on July 1. Check out some covers! Thanks folks!

Thanks for that! Obtained!

Aaaand it has finally happened. The mag is official, 13 years later ? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/afterburnett/nz-retro-magazine-the-golden-age-of-kiwi-gaming-in-print

Hey folks, Blatant self promotion time! I have started up a new retro gaming magazine - NZ Retro. Not too sure how many folk here would be interested, as it focusses on Kiwi gaming history, but hey - we played a lot of the same stuff - and I ship internationally (PDF versions also available). I have a Kickstarter running that ends in a week. Feel free to check it out here, if only to get bit of a laugh from the video: Cheers everyone! Karl.

If anyone has this and wants to sell, I'll buy! Had as a kid so big nostalgia factor.

Hi there, Bowling and Sea Wolf don't exist. They were never released. I have Backgammon and took me forever to find. Not mint either. Sadly I missed out on the only boxed hobby module I've ever seen. Never even seen Tank War. It'll be tough getting the lot! Good luck, though. I did see a complete set on eBay but doesn't look to be mint...

Haha awesome. I was supposed to go to the UK on a promotional tour for the show but I got myself in trouble with the police and it involved a strip club. True story. Suffice to say I was no longer considered the right person to promote the show ? Anyway, thanks for the sub. I won't be posting regularly until we're out of lockdown, sadly ☹️

Gangster Town for Master System. It's 2 players and the Light Phaser has AMAZING accuracy. Fantastic game, too.
