I hate that....Pitfall was the same way. They are hard to find...I don't have any of them. Like most 3rd party CV titles, loose carts can occasionally be found but they're very hard to find complete in box. I don't think I've ever even seen a CIB copy of Dragonfire.

There's one up there now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1

Yeah but Dig Dug makes up for it...in it's original aspect ratio no less.

Well, if it isnt, it's in the top two.

It's a pretty good conversion...yes, it can be played in either zoom or full screen mode. It also includes Super Pac-Man as a bonus (which you may or may not be a fan of). If you're looking for arcade hits on the Game Boy, I've always been a fan of Nintendo's Qix for the original Game Boy, and of course Donkey Kong '94 if you want to count that.

Yeah, Leo Fender sold the company to CBS in 1965 and they remained under CBS ownership until 1985. "Pre-CBS" Fender instruments (model year 1964 and earlier) are considered to be the highest quality and are thus highly valued by collectors and enthusiasts. The early CBS-era instruments aren't too bad, but they got worse as time went on. Fortunately no, Les Moonves wasn't at CBS in 1984...meaning your guitar was probably put together by Andy Rooney...and then Dan Rather played it just to make sure it sounded okay.

I've been wondering about those myself...that guy from Argentina has been listing a few lately for $50 apiece (that one you linked to has now been raised to $100). There's also an Argentinean CBS Time Pilot for $50 (which is trashed). I have no idea what the combo carts are, but they look like pirate junk. If they're anything original, I can't imagine them being of any decent quality. I'd ask the seller, but it doesn't look like his English is very good and I don't speak Spanish. Oh well.

Yes, it was...CBS Inc. (Columbia Broadcasting) has dabbled in nearly everything over the years - television (CBS Network), radio (CBS Radio), music (the old Columbia/CBS Records, now owned by Sony Music), musical instruments (CBS owned Fender Guitars from 1965 to 1985), and yes, even video games (CBS Electronics). CBS Electronics not only produced some titles for the Atari 2600 & 5200, they also marketed and distributed the ColecoVision system and games by Coleco in Europe, Australia, and elsewhere. BTW, there's been threads about this in the past: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=82349 http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=89037

You can expect $10-$15 for Miner 2049er and maybe $40 or so for Miner 2049er Volume II. I'm not sure about Master Builder...but if you expect to sell games, don't expect anyone here to tell you what stuff is worth.

I've had successful deals/sales/trades with the following people: Albert Atari2600.com Atarimania75 batari bfstats brucebidder chuys450 combat16 cx2k digitalpress FibroFreak78 guitarmas holygrailvideogames.com ianoid jboypacman mars242 Murph74 neotokeo2001 Pixelboy purenergy rolenta ten-four Scream and Fly Super-Genius! toymailman Trade-N-Games video game addict Zwackery

That's interesting Tempest...I always wondered why Coleco did Mr. Do! but Parker Brothers did Mr. Do!'s Castle...that makes sense. I'm not sure about Frogger and Q*bert though...if Coleco did those, did they do Frogger II and Q*bert's Qubes as well?

Added! Thanks. PM sent.

Any pics of Obelix?

Weren't Super Pac-Man, Jr. Pac-Man and Pac & Pal (speaking of games with no home port) all unauthorized originally?

Yeah, I 've seen those. I've seen people try to sell complete carts with the unused stickers for alot...nobody cares though...I don't need my Donkey Kong cartridge to speak French.

Seriously...I don't understand why people would even care about this. You're basically paying for a box. This is something that if you came across one, yeah it's a cool find and nice to have in your collection (I guess), but I can't imagine paying any significant amount of money for it (let alone $100). Knowing this hobby and the way people hoard stuff, I'm sure the first person who saw them on the Jack Berg site who knew they were rare probably bought them all and has them sitting in a box in his closet collecting dust. Good luck Murph...

Well, Atari dropped the ball there...unfortunately it's probably because they were greedy and wanted people to buy Pac-Man separately...bad marketing move.

The AC is a plus, but that's probably where the positives end. The Canadian versions are indeed more rare, but fewer collectors are interested in them generally (in my experience, many American collectors tend to avoid the Canadian stuff). You probably will get just as much for a working Canadian system as an American one however, but I certainly wouldn't expect to get more.

::BUMP:: I've added more items and some more pictures. More coming soon.

Explain this, please. Exactly how did Tramiel kill Commodore? Did he sneak back into Commodore head offices and blow up the blueprints and chipsets for the C65 in 1992? Did he engineer Commodore's ill-thought out foray into console gaming? Was he the mind behind Commodore's "business line" of PC clones? He's certainly not my favourite computer pioneer, but I just don't get the hate for him. That's true...Tramiel was actually forced out of Commodore well before it died...it's just fun to blame Jack Tramiel for this, like it is to blame him for everything else (killing Atari, ending the Swordquest contest and keeping the prizes for himself, etc.)...he's just a bastard.

Smurf Rescue is great. I can't believe that it made #6 on PC World's list of The 10 Worst Games of all time: http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,127579-p...es/article.html Those guys are idiots. (E.T., Custer's Revenge, and Pac-Man for the 2600 also made the list.) Anyway...has anybody ever played either of the Smurf games for PlayStation? (made by Infogrames, incidentally)

I have a list of my ColecoVision high scores somewhere. I'll have to see if I can find it. In the meantime, Ole Nielsen ("ten-four" here at AtariAge) has a page of high scores on his Danish ColecoVison site: http://www.colecovision.dk/highscore.htm

That's exactly what I was thinking. Boo.

Quick...tell Atari to get working on a sequel to Basic Math/Fun With Numbers. It'll surely resurrect them.
