+Intellivision Master Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Here's the loose cart I got recently. It's a good game. I don't get that far. But it's still fun to play. At first the cart didn't work. The screen was glitchy. Then the loading failed message appeared. After repositioning the cart it worked fine. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this version of Frogger some people don’t care for it. Game play is fun! I guess I’m just use to this version. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_rogue_1 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 A good friend of mine was visiting family in Texas and brought me these nuggets back to Germany. (The Genesis cart was an accidental buy and only 6$.) 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChickenz Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 @the_rogue_1 You have some great picks! Now be careful! What you have to do here is hop down the road, get across the river. You’ll find yourself in the jungle. If you make it through the jungle. Jump in an X-WING and start shooting down some TIE Fighters! GOOD LUCK! 😆 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrChickenz Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 @the_rogue_1 The Genesis cart was a great accidental buy! I believe there are 3 in that series DesertStrike, Jungle Strike and Urban Strike! All great games! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to add this one to my collection.👍 Edited April 12 by MrChickenz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitanClassic Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 It’s in the wiki, under games, but I will include it below. Soviet Strike 1996 PlayStation, Sega Saturn, PlayStation Network Nuclear Strike 1997 PlayStation, PC, Nintendo 64, PlayStation Network I only played Future Cop:LAPD, and beat it. I can vouch for it being great. The other two PSX games I haven’t played (or maybe just a few minutes). I was kind of over the Strike series with Urban Strike, and felt the series peaked with Jungle Strike. I hadn’t even realized that Future Cop was part of the Strike series until years later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Starpath Supercharger port was better obviously. How many people actually own one these days thou. Can't see the 2600+ supporting it...EVER! lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The Genesis cart was an accidental buy and only 6$.) I stopped at my local retro shop after work today. They store their loose Genesis games to the left of the entrance door. What's the first game that catches my eye when I walk in to the shop? Jungle Strike! I did see your post earlier in the day, so I just had to get it. And then I see the Star Wars Arcde Game, and I grab that too, and top it off with Strawberry Shortcake (I already have 3 or 4 Frogger carts). I get home and clean and try the games. All is good until the Stat Wars cart... It's a Colecovision cart 😪 In my excitement, I didn't look at it close enough. Pretty sure the shop will take it back, but I was pretty stoked about finding a decently priced SWTAG. Anyone want to buy a Colecovision Star Wars the Arcade Game, let me know before I take it back .

Ouch, those tricky ColecoVision carts. PB in their wisdom, geez. I've tried to warn people about that one. Don't need one myself, sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainBreakout Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) My son and I are testing out some games from Germany! The first one is Motorcross. It's okay. Playable!!! Some of these weird games from far away... He seems to like it... But when I asked him he said... "This game is so bad!" We'll try some more. 😁 Edited April 13 by CaptainBreakout 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember anymore which version I was trying to get, but I bought a copy of Star Wars The Arcade game on ebay that ended up being the c64 Port. I don't have a c64, but I decided to keep it anyways because I'm a Star Wars nut. lol You can always tell the Colecovision one by the khaki background color. The 2600 port is grey. I've got 4 versions of it so far. It was my favorite arcade game as a kid. 2600 5200 Colecovision (My favorite port) Commodore 64 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_813 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 One of my favorites also. I have the Arcade1up cabinet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it would be nice if the 2600+ supported it. Most likely this won't happen. Unless some kind of an adapter comes out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetmanUK Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) I have one final classic cart in the post to me right now. I've decided, for now, not to get Star Wars Arcade, Frogger 2 or Up n Down, probably the final three I'm interested in that I don't own. Perhaps if I saw a super cheap price down the line, otherwise I'll just play them on my Harmony Cart on OG hardware. My final cart isn't rare, but it is complete in box, hopefully it will arrive in a week or so, I'll share it then. It's been great reading and participating in this thread, and I'll continue to do so, but soon without any more new to me classic carts. 😊 Edited April 13 by JetmanUK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkleFork Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Just come back from a trip with the family to California. We did two Disney Parks, Universal Studios and some 2600 cart hunting. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBreakout Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) It's been almost two decades since I first saw this cart label on the AtariAge search index.... 20 years since that lmao... And here it is in my hands! My son and I played it last night ... And we admit we had no idea what we were doing. If you don't have anything to do for two minutes of your life... I recorded some of the experience... Edited April 13 by CaptainBreakout 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
