I was wondering the same thing, as I don't know people here very well, yet. Though if it's real, I'll be checking the news for word of a large crowd gathered to see a lightsaber duel.

Had some time to look, and it appears the red box is the rarer original, that was supposedly too easy for gamers. The blue is the more common, with a harder difficulty option. Correct me if I'm wrong.

What's the difference in value/rarity of Space Battle in a red or blue box? Not very good with INTV knowledge..

Should have left your original post alone.

So because someone doesn't post as often as some others, his opinion is invalid? Utterly ridiculous logic.

III seemed very good.. a friend had it, which made me try out IV, as I was never into those kinds of games. I know he liked III a lot. Haven't played one since IV.

Wow, I'd grab that in a second if I were local to you. Nice machine and good luck.

Man, I remember playing IV back on my C64 many years ago, which was the only Ultima game I really played through. Sadly, despite spending a ton of time on it, I never finished it 100%.. Maybe I was just dumb then or didn't think it through, but I remember always getting angry and stymied around one shrine that was in the middle of a swamp, or something like that.. was awful. May yours go better than mine did. Enjoy!

Count me in for an extra, if one is available.

Haven't played this is many many years... and examples of things being left out? Very curious.

I used to use MESS a little bit, but was never really happy with it. Has it improved over time? I will try the BlueMSX one, thanks.

I used to use Virtual ColecoVision on my old PCs.. just started trying to update (or try new ones) all my emulators. With my Windows 7 PC, Virtual ColecoVision starts and then freezes every time. Have also tried ColEm, which seems to flicker way too much. Any suggestions on a better Windows emulator, or better settings on ColEm? Thanks.

I'm not saying it was a bad price at all.. merely too high for what I'm looking for. I don't need the near-perfect collector's lot or anything, though I'd have happily taken it if the price was right. For me. I probably wouldn't have looked to resell anything anyway, I'm more of a buy to keep guy. BUT, just for my knowledge, which are the ones that sold for such high prices?

I really wish I had a different mentality in my earlier years, as I usually just traded in systems when new ones came along. Of course, now that I'm getting back into gaming with the physical consoles themselves, I'm rather empty-handed. Currently have: - Atari 2600 (light sixer) - Colecovision (maybe, still searching for it, though I don't think it was ever thrown away... still digging!) - PS2 - PS3 - XBox 360 - Sega Genesis with Sega CD and 32X - Commodore 64c (if that counts)

I got this as soon as it came out, and consider it one of the best games I've played. Some tough puzzles and very rewarding. I had to read up on how to get some stars (and even knowing how, it wasn't always very easy), but eventually got them all. Also was addicted to reading the forums about Braid, as people went REALLY in-depth about the meaning and many things branching off from it. Great game.

I bid a few times on that Colecovision bundle, but just went too high for me.. other than having almost every emulator for years, I'm finally getting back into actual consoles.. and since as of yet, I can't find my old Colecovision/games/accessories, this would have been a good start.. oh well.

I think it was 1980. Forget the store name, but it was in the Cherry Hill Mall (NJ). We'd looked at it many times, as I was fascinated with the store. I have always assumed that's where they bought it, since I wasn't present at the time. My parents got it for my sister and I for Christmas with some games. Was one of my best Christmases ever. Light Sixer.

Thanks, I'll check them out.. I'm in Marlton, not far at all from Blackwood. Yeah, at the very least a power supply. I'd already ordered and received my cable connector.. I also don't even know if my Atari works at all. Just took a look, and was disappointed to see it's a light sixer. I didn't even know there were heavy and lights back then, only a Sears one and non-Sears. Oh well, no biggie. Glad to be here.

Always been into gaming, but had abandoned my old stuff for many years. Did a quick look-around and found our old 2600 (six-switch, though I have to look closer to see if it's a light or heavy). Couldn't find anything else other than the RF cable. Couldn't find any of our old games either, unfortunately. Colecovision was also MIA, though maybe it's hiding somewhere, along with other Atari stuff.. but I don't think I'll be that lucky. Anyway, been reading these forums awhile and finally joined. Very informative stuff here, and looking forward to getting my old system(s) up and running. Sounds like that Harmony cartridge may be the way to go, mostly for convenience?
