bjk7382 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I just got a very mint condition Swordquest Waterworld from ebay. I think I might have paid a little too much though. I paid 80 for it and there are no marks on either label, but no instructions. I have seen the instructions by itself go for 63.00 on ebay!! I was just wondering if this was a really bad price or not. I was also wondering if they all have the odd springs in them that I haven't seen in any other cartriges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximebeauvais Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Contrat I got my waterworld in a trade for a value of around 80$ around 2 years ago.....so yes it is a good price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Another orange label, hmm... Anyway, congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 Does that mean it is sun bleached (it doesn't look like it) or are there two color variations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Does that mean it is sun bleached (it doesn't look like it) or are there two color variations. I think it is readily apparent that there are two Waterworld color variants, a red, and a vivid orange like yours. Others may disagree.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Others may disagree. Yup, there was a long thread about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 My WW is orange. Yes, mine has springs like those as well, as do a few of my others carts. I know, because I was looking up the slot to make sure it wasn't a repro/counterfeit (I worry too much). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassidy Nolen Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 You did very well, congrats. Looks nice. I sold my extra one last year for 100, and that was not asking too much for a clean one (IMHO). I ended up getting lucky on ebay sometime back and got a boxed one for 150. Almost had a sealed one in Vegas........ (to all involved!!!). Mine has that wierd spring thing too. Cant think of any other game than Moon Patrol I have that has that. It is sort of strange Cassidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjk7382 Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 So where did those clear carts come from? I was thinking about having a plastics company mass produce cartriges and then sell them to atariage for .50 cents a piece. But that is very uneconomical anyway. So were these clear ones custom made or what? BTW my moon patrol doesnt have a dust guard it is one of the open ended carts like solaris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadtower Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Seriously, I'd love to get some of those clear shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris++ Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 So is it as crappy and unplayable as the first two Swordquest games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I always though Swordquest was Latin for crappy and unplayable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 Yeah, I already read most of the comic book off of AA but the page numbers on the Waterworld comic are off. Page 7 is page 5 in the comic and then page 8 on the website is 8 in the book too? I don't know if there are pages missing or what. But I plan on trying to beat it. I have already beat Raders of the lost arc this can't be much harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyngs Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Those Clear carts are awesome. Would love to get my hands on a couple. The Swordquest series is challenging. I beat earthworld,couldnt beat fireworld though. Does anyone have a waterworld for sale? or boxed earth or fireworld?. Also maybe someone can produce a Airworld cart. Im suprised nobody has done it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Those clear carts are great. As for the spring carts... I have several of those. (They aren't Waterworld, of course... various titles.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
