ninermaniac Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 States REMANUFACTURED TO ORIGINAL SPECIFICATIONS. Repro I assume? Anybody know this seller? http://cgi.ebay.com/Bounty-Bob-Strikes-Bac...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 States REMANUFACTURED TO ORIGINAL SPECIFICATIONS. Repro I assume? Anybody know this seller? http://cgi.ebay.com/Bounty-Bob-Strikes-Bac...1QQcmdZViewItem "15 available" is a pretty good clue that it's a repro. Do people pay $75 for reproductions, even of rare games?

RangerG Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) What a ripoff for a reproduction. I though BBSB couldn't be made into a repro. or put on a flashcart? Edited August 5, 2008 by RangerG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Repro, likely overpriced because of the charity aspect. Crappy label. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerG Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm confused. So, BBSB can be made into a cart it is just that Bill H. at Big Five has not given permission in the past? Does this one have permission? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) So, BBSB can be made into a cart it is just that Bill H. at Big Five has not given permission in the past? Yes it is technically possible to make a repro of BBSB. IIRC Bill declined to offer a run of carts from him (or license the cart), and has asked people not to make repros.

What's the technical wizardry in Bounty Bob Strikes Back that makes it difficult to put on a cartridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Allan Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Well, eBay pulled it. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 How come this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ATARI-5200-METEORITES-...1QQcmdZViewItem has been on for days and has been relisted at least once, yet the BBSB auction gets pulled within a few hours?

djpubba Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Someone has to report it for it to get pulled. Does the copyright owner of Meteorites not want it repro'd like the owner of BBSB does not want, as mentioned here?: IIRC Bill declined to offer a run of carts from him (or license the cart), and has asked people not to make repros. If you think a game should be pulled off eBay, report it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classics Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) Was the BBSB in question in an Atari case or what? Who was the seller? I completely missed seeing it. Steve Edited August 8, 2008 by classics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, on the outside chance anyone plunked down $75 for one, please post a picture of the innards if you can.
