Mayhem Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 The good news and bad news is that Black Jack is still sealed. I haven't been able to play it. Ah... well, bugger there. Wow. Dilemma ahoy. Seriously though, it isn't preserved, and it'll eventually die. I barely keep anything sealed for those reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 I'm not going to open it. Seems like that would decrease the value quite a bit. I think this might be the only known Black Jack to exist. Too bad it's not for the NES 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Black Jack was one of the titles in a set of OEM carts sold about 13 years ago on eBay, but was only loose... someone here was believed to be the buyer, but most of them remain undumped to this day sadly. But thanks for the photo of the box Edited April 8, 2016 by Mayhem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Given the quality of the other OEM cartridges, I'd imagine the cover probably is better to look at than playing the game. In particular the women in the background, I would like to have a better look at. The henchman looking dealer, I can skip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 You should take a look at the Behr-Bonz. Built and shipped in 3 weeks and you can get them from eslapion on the Denial forum: http://sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7513 The Behr-Bonz I ordered 3 weeks ago arrived today, and it is SPECTACULAR. So many great games, a nice menu-driven interface, and even a reset button. Thank you for suggesting this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softensive Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I have about 120 boxed VIC 20 carts and some loose... but I do not have a single OEM brand cart. So if you ever plan to sell yours please make sure to send a pm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 How many disk and tape releases for VIC20? I never got around to answering this question. Bo's tape site is good (in fact I need to bug him AGAIN about trying to transfer some of them for Gamebase20 along with scanning the packaging) but it does list duplicates, or variants of the same program, so it's not 889 individual titles listed. As it stands, there's one disk game in there from back in the day, and a couple of homebrews via Psytronik. I suspect there are more games possibly out there, but not many, and there's a handful of productivity and utility software on disk as well. Tapes wise, games keep coming out of the woodwork. I've got a box of 25+ Vic20 games here I still haven't gotten around to scanning, let along transferring yet, despite having them for months after purchasing them from a private seller in the US. Just this week I got two Vic20 games bundles with a few titles in that hadn't been preserved yet either (the rest will either go into my collection or get resold). The total keeps creeping up. I'd say a thousand games on tape is a conservative estimate, based on the entries in GB20. There's plenty of magazine listings present, homebrews, entries of known titles that haven't been preserved yet, and duplicate releases of the same game by different publishers (especially Nufekop, Rabbit and Bubble Bus). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have a list an can send it via PM, but I guess there is nothing really ultra rare like the OEM carts in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 No worries, I just like seeing what people own. Also gives me a slightly better idea on what's rare and what's not heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
