As word spread for the need/demand of the POKEY chip it contains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 When everyone bought them up for pokeys. Will be a very rare game someday. And still no fun to play. Like most rare games today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 And still no fun to play. Like most rare games today. Blasphemous! Ballblazer is by far the greatest game in the entire 7800 library. I have played the 7800 and A8 literately hundreds of times over the years and have never grown tired of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundGammon Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Wonder how it plays with a Trak-Ball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Wonder how it plays with a Trak-Ball? First off, it doesn't support Trak-Balls natively. Now I'm a huge proponent and fan of Trak-Balls but Ballblazer wouldn't be a good game for it. Hat Trick would be a good game for a 2-button Trak-Ball, just as the arcade original was...

Same with a more polished version of the game for the ST or the Amiga and ported to the Jaguar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'shea's melted down the NOS and then POKEY chips have been getting more popular so it's no longer a $5 title For years you could get them for $3 but not anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sixersfan105 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I got a red label Ballblazer last June on Amazon (third-party reseller, of course) for $10. I know they're not really supposed to be any more valuable than the regular end label ones, but they are at least listed on the 'bay for some absurd prices. Some seller has a red label cart only listed for $179.95, which is 10% off his regular price of $199.95. LOL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music, the graphics, so damn good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosweargamer Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Not everyone agrees, but it's my favorite game on the system, and as such, it's kinda said to see it get destroyed for Pokeys. When I did the podcast, I predicted this might happen when I covered it, but was hoping I was wrong. For about a year after, it stayed steady, about $10, but when the new batch of homebrews came out, it quickly doubled. I doubt it will ever be a $10 game again. When games go up in value, they don't usually go back down much, and in this case, not only are they being bought, but destroyed. So over time, the rarity of this game could go up, since there will be less working copies in existence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
