Maztr_0n Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 i finally have Ikari Warriors... one of the 1991 titles, the Rambo Commando sim. its pretty fun but i'm not sure if the 2600 joystick is best for it, not for the lack of buttons but i imagine once i get my hands on the 7800 pad i can see if the D-Pad makes aiming easier... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_813 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 (edited) I know I said I was going to stop, but the price was decent AND free shipping... Also, this one has the foam protector like the Checkers I picked up recently. Edited June 21 by Alex_813 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, we've all said it, and not managed it. 🤷🏻🤣 My first homebrew purchases are on their way to me, I'll share when they arrive, excited to play them. All from AA. I don't own nor have I ever seen in person these foam inserts. I wonder if they made it to UK cart releases?

JetmanUK Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Just arrived! New 7800 games (waiting for Food Fight) and a tiny box containing a joypad. These two arrived minutes before: It's a repro box but that's ok, I wasn't going to pay the crazy money for a legit one. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would make more repro boxes like they do labels. Thats something I would purchase! Hey what is STARGUNNER? I never saw it before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like Defender, but much easier. I have the cart and manual, but no box. I like the Stargunner artwork.

Yeah I have a really nice Space Invaders repro box, high quality and more glossy. This one is nice, but has a cheaper feel to it. Stargunner is like Defender, its... kind of single screen... yeah you go off one side and appear on the other, but as the graphics at the bottom of the screen scroll it gives some impression of movement. So it's a single screen scroller haha, kind of like those 2.5D games on the PS1, an inbetweener. It is very slick and fun, I already owned a copy but it was a mono labled PAL version, this is NTSC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrChickenz Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 (edited) Added this to my Atari 2600+ collection. I thought this was awesome! Keystone Kapers B&W (hack) by alfredtdk. Keystone Kapers is a game I never stopped playing over the years. So when I saw this hack I had to get it.

+Intellivision Master Posted Saturday at 01:11 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:11 PM The homebrew arrived yesterday. I bought it last month. Unfortunately I can't play it as it requires paddles. Which I knew about. I'm waiting on those to arrive. They were pre-ordered along with 2 other things from Atari. Also, I have yet to receive an email saying my stuff shipped out. I should've ordered the items from Amazon. Might have gotten them faster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry signed it at PRGE (2019). I also have patches for Crackpots (signed by Dan Kitchen at 2019 PRGE), Enduro, Grand Prix, Kaboom, Pitfall! (signed by David Crane at 2019 PRGE) and River Raid. I’ve collected these patches over several years, because these are the games that I have personally qualified for. Note: I’ve qualified for the H.E.R.O. patch as well, but that patch has become too costly to purchase. I do, however have a reproduction H.E.R.O. patch. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
