townparkradio Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Below are photos of the boxes Rev sent, the Inty sent, and my current collection. The boxes are a big surprise; never expected to get them, and as you can see.. it's a Zeller's/Sears Super Arcade that was sent! I've folded the games Rev sent into my collection; he sent Pitfall, Carnival, Donkey Kong, and Atlantis. It's a good thing he did send Pitfall, because that was gnawed on and destroyed by the packrats! So were Astrosmash (grrr no HSC for me this week), Beamrider (not to worry, I had two spares), Commando (never even got to try it due to moving and housebuilding), and He-Man, but it turns out I have a little money so I think I can at least afford to buy He-Man again. Or I'll see about trading, as I have spares of Atlantis, Microsurgeon, Beamrider, Dreadnaught Factor, Beauty and the Beast and Stampede. Enough rambling, here's the images! What can I say? I am a happy, happy man. Edited February 3, 2012 by townparkradio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
townparkradio Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Oh and about Donkey Kong.... eeeeeew! Holy crap. No matter what Coleco claims, you will never convince me they didn;t do that on purpose. Never, ever. I kinda liked the 2600 one but... man did Coleco hire someone's bedridden grandmother to design this version? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian O Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Based on the thread title, I expected to see Rev's "package". I've never been so happy to have been wrong. -B 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybird3rd Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 So this is the second thread about townparkradio's collection which has managed to take a swift detour into the gutter. There must be something in that 1970s Intellivision plastic. (Seriously, though, kudos to Rev for sending out such a nice collection of games.)

+thegoldenband Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 It's a good thing he did send Pitfall, because that was gnawed on and destroyed by the packrats! So were Astrosmash (grrr no HSC for me this week), Beamrider (not to worry, I had two spares), Commando (never even got to try it due to moving and housebuilding) Ouch! Did the rats* actually chew up the circuit boards? If not, you can probably pull the PCBs and put them in a different cart shell. *(or whatever rodent it was -- I seem to remember it was a different species) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, they ate the pcbs. They're studious little pricks. some of my other carts are missing little chunks but the boards are untouched so they work fine. Commando was totally destroyed though. Ate the label, everything. Left me half a board and part of the case without label. I had to do ivnentory to figure out what it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
