Brad2600 Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Hmm? Did I outbid you on something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 He was trying to tell you that there was a 7800 for $12.99,- BIN but it's gone now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Too late..I already have one. LOL. I go by BradB002 on EBay. All I need now are CONTROLLERS for my 7800. I just won a lot of 9 games for the 7800 on EBay..mostly commons I believe: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3004159345 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 That was a good haul of games for that price, Fight Night isn't that easy to find and is probably worth at least 5 or 6 bucks by itself. The rest of the games are all fun to play too You can use a standard 2600 stick or a Genesis controller for many of those games so you can at least get started.

Brad2600 Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I can use a Genesis or 2600 controller? Wow I had no clue regarding this. Do I have to do any special modifications though? It would be nice to have standard 7800 controllers but I heard they weren't very reliable. I wanted the 7800 games mostly for Mario Bros as well as the other games. I will probably end up selling Pole Position II as I already have it. It's obviously the most common 7800 game. I'm also bidding on another lot of 11 7800 games. I also got this 5200 coming in the mail soon: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3002054941&rd=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 No mods needed for the 2600 or genny controllers, some games require a 7800 2 button controller but most don't. Mitch has a great 7800 page for reference: http://members.aol.com/atari7800games/ This page lets you know which games you can use with 1 button controllers and which one needs 2: http://members.aol.com/~Atari7800games/7800list.htm/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 That looks like a good 4-port 5200 setup you got on ebay. Some nice boxes and fun games. You'll be deep into everything Atari soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Well I am expanding my game collection and I like to collect games that came on all 3 Atari systems...2600, 5200 and 7800. So far I have 2600 Mario Bros and soon, 7800 Mario Bros. You get the idea. I will check out the 7800 page sometime. I like the idea as I have many Sega Genesis controllers lying around.

Brad2600 Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I'm not sure which of my games will work with 1 button so I'll wait until I get the 9 7800 games and then do some investigating. I might still invest in 7800 controllers. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted February 5, 2003 Author Share Posted February 5, 2003 Whoops! I guess link didn't work as I had planned. I'm glad, Kepone, that you were able to find a 7800 at a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I didn't pay anything for the 7800..it's part of a trade for my TI-99/4a which I still can't send out until I get some $$..particulary from the people who bought my items on EBay. I'm dying for some gas, pizza, beer and shipping money so I can send out all the items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRetroGamer Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...2&category=3537 $12 to ship a bare bones 7800, I don't think so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted February 6, 2003 Author Share Posted February 6, 2003 Yes, well, my perspective is out of whack anyway. I paid $96 to ship a ST package from Seattle in December, and I'm still missing a box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
