marijn Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Just put some rare telesys games on ebay. All in very good condition and complete. Stargunner eBay Auction -- Item Number: 301858231533 Demolition herby eBay Auction -- Item Number: 301857865046 Ram-it eBay Auction -- Item Number: 301858233261 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccc--- Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Are those PAL? I have a few PAL Telesys games, but those came with multilingual instruction manuals. Yours seem to have the US manual + German addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marijn Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Is there any way I can see that? According to the database the regio for these is 'N' north america. These are complete with an english manual and a german and spanish extra manual. Perhaps they are region free?

Lord Innit Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I spy two of the boxes have stickers on the spine, possibly covering a sticker like the ones in the photo below? My Demolition Herby has no sticker but is a PAL game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marijn Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 You are correct. There is a pal sticker underneath. Demolition herby doen not have a sticker. So are they region free you think? Since the pal sticker has been covered up? The color manual of each game is in english and there are extra manual in german and spanish.

The color manual of each game is in english and there are extra manual in german and spanish.I've had a look at my Cosmic Creeps and Fast Food manuals and I also have multi-language manuals with them. I'd say your games are PAL and if they work on an NTSC console they'll very likely display the wrong colours. Would love to get hold of Ram It boxed but I just need a box as I have the cart and manual already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Are you able to test them and post screen shots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 ...So are they region free you think? You guys are funny. Why has no one told him yet, that there's no such thing as "region free" when it comes to 2600 games? Without turbo-nerding the topic, basically... you're either NTSC or PAL. And if you're trying to sell one or the other in opposite regions, well… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Are those PAL? I have a few PAL Telesys games, but those came with multilingual instruction manuals. Yours seem to have the US manual + German addition. Why would they not be PAL? The poster is from Holland. Is it common to find Telesys NTSC games in Holland? And on a side note, greed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 It seems common to find pal games here in the usa for sure, and fairly common to find ntsc games in other countries among collectors circles....but yeah I think it's a very long shot these are not pal.

ccc--- Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Well, given all the facts above my guess would be that those are very early PAL releases. So they maybe just took the US manuals and added a quickly compiled German instruction sheet before the multilingual manuals were finished. Didn't Imagic (or was it Activision?) do the same with their first PAL cartridges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccc--- Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Why would they not be PAL? The poster is from Holland. Is it common to find Telesys NTSC games in Holland? And on a side note, greed. We had "grey" imports here in Europe. Distributors that shipped NTSC games in quantities over the big pond and sold them here, sometimes with cheap (typewritten) local manuals. I am not sure if that was done with Telesys games too though. If they have PAL stickers on the spine they are official PAL releases for sure (see my post above).

AtariBuff Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Imagic did send out their very first PAL releases with the english manual and a leaflet in german that explains, that the country specific/multilingual manual is not ready yet and the buyer will receive it later on (after contacting the Imagic distributor in his country). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marijn Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 I am not an atari collector. So I was misguided by the database that states that there are only ntsc ones. Since they are pal I will take them of ebay and sell them here in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccc--- Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) I am very interested in the three games. Will you post the new auction links here? Edited January 29, 2016 by ccc--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Innit Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'd be interested in two of the games for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yeah, I was interested in 1 game too. You probably should have just let the auctions ride..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marijn Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 I have relisted the games on ebay Netherlands. Lower starting prices as well. Combined shipping is possible ofcourse. Ram-it eBay Auction -- Item Number: 301862712280 Stargunner eBay Auction -- Item Number: 301862707977 Demolition Herby eBay Auction -- Item Number: 301862703800 Due to a mistake demolition herby is ending sooner than the pther two games.

ccc--- Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I was lucky enough to win two of them (unfortunately I was outbid on Demolition Herby). The boxes of both games have PAL stickers on them but they are covered with blank stickers. Still weird ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Innit Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Holy shmoley! Demolition Herby went for £120? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Wow all three reached a good price and the rarest (Stargunner) was the cheapest. Mind you I think all Telesys are getting rare nowadays, maybe Cosmic Creeps not so much. Edited February 25, 2016 by high voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
