  1. Sold to the uber-collector Cmart! And now a word from our sponsor... Old systems? Vintage systems? That elusive cartridge for a game console so obscure they never even heard of it in the 80's? You want it? We got it! (and it's mine all mine! So step back!) SHOP SMART... SHOP CMART! ...we now return you to your regularly scheduled forum.
  2. I have a boxed Vectrex 3D Imager in great shape. Must sell today or I have to put it on eBay since I need the money by next Friday. $700 shipped... I will post pics this afternoon when I get home if you need them, but I gaurnetee it is in spectacular shape as is the box (I bought it from a fellow AtariAger a couple yeras back). Free shipping to the USA... International people, I'll have to charge $10 more because of the higher shipping costs. PM me if you are interested.
  3. It looks kind of like Cmart's discard pile from his own underground warehouse that he stores 1/2 of his collection in.
  4. Awesome packaging an just as advertised I bet... he rocks.
  5. Heh, that reminds me of the Typesetter we had in our graphic arts printing class in high school back in the early 1980's. It took 8", yes you read that right, 8" floppy disks. Then somehow (I don't remember the whole process) it put the characters on some type of chemical reactive paper. You could only store one page per disk as it inclused pica and kerning data as well as your text. Then you would photograph the result and burn plates for the offset presses to print. Compared to today's "click and print" it was like rubbing sticks together to create ham sandwhiches with a beer chaser.
  6. I never noticed that until you just mentioned it. Unquote in French means exactly the same in Engilsh, so that makes it twice as odd!
  7. OMG! My Space Speller cartridge, for my Aquarius computer, showed up from Austrailia today! **does the happy snoopy dance** I made a video of the unboxing here... http://youtu.be/UcmhBZpq0WM I can't belive I finally got one! (Note to Cmart: I have already licked it for future DNA testing) Now I am only missing the Zero In cartridge to have the complete set! Also attached are 300dpi scans of the manual cover and the front and back of the box for JayBird
  8. Seems like there have been a rash of these sirface in the last 18 months... How many Spiker auctions have to be so close together before spiker moves down to a R9 or R8?
  9. You should be getting them any day now, it ususally takes 6-8 weeks... on rare occasions a little longer. The mail system down there is pretty messed up.
  10. Thanks, then this one is right in the ballpark... I never played a Saturn when I was young, so it might be worth picking up so I can try it out. How different is the gameplay from a Genesis?
  11. These carts are soooo worth it! ...and Jay is a great guy to deal with!
  12. There is a boxed Sega Saturn on Craigslist over here and wanted to find out what a fair price is... I don't want to overpay. Thanks!
  13. The image quality is great but small only 640x480. I bought mine way back and loved it because back in the day, I could read the floppy on either a Mac, Linux or Windows computer... kind of like a thumb drive nowadays... they couldn't do much better on resolution since you were limited to the 1.44mb on the floppy. Though the 14x optical zoom made up for the lower pixels and I was quite suprised at the quality of the video mode. seal-001.MPG
  14. Picked up a USB 3-1/2" floppy drive for $5 for my Sony Mavica floppy disk camera.
  15. I side deal all the time. I'm extra-evil on the evilness scale. I figure anybody else could try a side deal if they really want something. The only time I disagree with side deals is if there are already bids on an auction.
  16. I think you are right. Yeah, looking at the picture in the auction, the manual appears to be in great condition.
  17. Will do, not a problem. You got your Aquarius website up yet? I think we got the original scans from the guy we offered money to to scan them but he wouldn't take it and just gave them to us to help out the project.
  18. If he'd cut that price in half I'd buy it for the curiosity of the system.
  19. $700 is an awesome price for the 3D Imager... I'm suprised nobody here jumped on it.
  20. <drool> Just got informed that my Space Speller package has been shipped! </drool> I will do an unboxing video when it arrives. One side note is that the seller said it was not Radofin that relesed it, but Dick Smith.
  21. Retro gaming rocks because: I lived through it.
  22. Yes, you just have to be aware of the cap and have a separate rider or and entirely separate policy for the rest if the value exceeds the threshold.
