Tempest Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I'm looking for two very rare First Star cartridges for the 400/800. I've been after Flip & Flop and Bristles for many years now (10 to be exact) yet I can never seem to get my hands on them. I'm willing to either pay or trade for them if anyone is willing to let their copies go. My Boulder Dash cart is getting lonely sitting all by itself...

Goochman Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I dont have the cart but Bristles is a really fun game for those who havent tried it - catchy music which gets on your nerves quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Slocum Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I found both of those SIB one time! My one really rare find. They're in Germany now. -Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 I've wanted Flip & Flop since I was a kid, but my mom wouldn't get it for me because it was a tape game and she thought it wouldn't last. I didn't know about the cartridge version (for the Max-A-Felx machines) until a few years ago. Bristles just seems like it would be a neat game to have.

Callipygous Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Don't mean to turn this thread into eBay Central, but its definitely a first that all three are available at the same time http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?View...&sort=3&rows=25 @Goochman, you could probably pick up all of these rare carts for a mere $300-400.

Tempest Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 I already have Boulderdash and recently acquired a boxed Bristles, so that Flip Flop is MINE! Back off!!! Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callipygous Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 so that Flip Flop is MINE! Back off!!! I was out at $25 . After Flip Flop, you will only need the special version of Astrochase that FirstStar made for Exidy Max-A-Flex: No, its not my cart. Should be easy to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 I had a feeling it existed, but I never saw one until now. Sweet! Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callipygous Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I linked the picture. Read the whole story at http://www.arcadecollecting.com/keepers.html . Tim also had an article on myAtari.net a month or so ago. Nice guy, he sent me the binary. It works on an XL/XE OS - the Parker Bros version is 400/800 only.

video game addict Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Has anyone noticed that this newest seller that had Boulderdash, Bristles, and currently Flip Flop listed, also had an Exidy Max-A-Flex Cabinet with all 4 carts listed earlier? Including the above pictured Astro Chase. Is there any difference between the Arcade carts and home release versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callipygous Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Flip Flop update Ouch! Our own Tempest out sniped by JHardie (whoever he is ). Wow $160 for a 8-bit cart. First Star Carts? They are better than the stock market! @VGA As already mentioned, Astrochase was modified to work on an XL. The Parker Bros cart and earlier disk/tape versions are 400/800 only. Kind of dumb that they did not make the change a little earlier for PB. I believe the other three are the same. Obviously, First Star could not release an Astrochase cart because PB had the rights. Just guessing, but they probably decided to release cart versions because of the Exidy deal. Had to make carts anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
