pimpmaul69 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) You ever come across 'clamshell' coleco/cbs games for Intv? Shameless begging.... Actually it would be cool to find more. How many have you found so far? I know of only donkey kong and carnival. Now that i think of it i need to play some carnival.

Rev Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Whst is AU retro scene like? It there retro game stores? Retro stuff scarce? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmannewhobby Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 2600s are pretty common. Nes is getting pretty rare snes onwards common as. Ive never seen an Aquarius. C64 is getting pretty rare. There is 1 store in my state that I know of. Im in West Aus so we are pretty isolated from the rest of the country. 2000 km from the nearest other capital city. So for me, freight for an inty is 30 bucks or more from eastern states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopia Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) It is not I as I am innocent of this crime! Why does he want so many? Having said that I have a few consoles but most are untested (yet) that I got from a old friend after perusing him for 10 years to get some "mint" consoles that were returned to the retailer under warranty that then became mothballed for 30 years. I have fixed and sold a couple of them a year or two ago but the bulk still need checking initially with the MTE201 program. One day I will get to them all.

HunterZero Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 We did have a good retro games store in Sydney but it closed down. Flea markets are around but it's rare to find retro stuff. See the odd n64 and ps1. Gamesmen has a limited amount of old stock. They have bern open over 30 years, they were one of the major Intellivision dealers through the 80s. They had lots of new old stock Atari Lynx games which was good. They have a retro museum in store so it's worth a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
