MrChickenz Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 5 hours ago, DEANJIMMY said: Bought an NTSC version of Pitfall2 from German Ebay 🤗 For some games I do not care if the PAL cart runs slower but for the two Pitfall games it is nice that Harry runs faster. Especially in Pitfall2, if you die and need to repeat your last steps the additional speed is very nice and the colors look better!🤙 For Pitfall1 I actually like the PAL colors but play the NTSC cart for more running speed😊 If you look at the label, the NTSC version has got an additional Audiovision line. And if it is a cart from DEANJIMMY or @JetmanUK on the back side you'll find a sticker😉 What’s the difference in colors on your pitfall. I never saw the PAL colors on Pitfall. It’s nice that we have an option to get NTSC or PAL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed if you place the order through ebay or etsy, I can't remember which I did, I got my order within a couple of weeks. I try to purchase mine from the EBay store, it is faster. But the downside is they don’t have all the titles on the EBay store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Game Boyz said there would be imperfections because it's 3D printed. I noticed the cosmetic flaws. But it doesn't effect anything. Still looks good! Game play is all that matters. I’ll have to get one of these. Possibly the one for Robotron or Robotwar 2084? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the one for Robotron or Robotwar 2084? That's right, gameplay is what matters most. You would like the gamepad. The one I have, that color design is no longer available on the website. But there are newer ones to choose from. Also, I think the grip is nice. It's 3D printed and gets the job done. It fits like a glove on the controller. I have a custom twin stick for Robotron. Makes it feel more like the arcade. If you get his twin stick gamepad though, it'll do fine for Robotron/Robot War 2084. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AA store here works very well for me, only Paypal causes a script error, so I had to pay by credit card. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to use PayPal for my recent order as PP's pay in three interest free option is very handy, but yeah it would not allow it so I used a credit card too. Hopefully this can be fixed as larger orders are nice to spread over a longer payment period. Otherwise shopping on here was a nice experience for me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the one for Robotron or Robotwar 2084? it would be cool if, ok this might sound stupid as hell but, what if they refined a dual Pro-Line setup but as a single controller for twin sticks, better joysticks, better buttons. Etc... But it would be like the most dorky yet sublime experience for Flight Sims and Robotron/Twinsticks, and they could call it something equally dorky but 80's/90's cheesy cool like the "Atari Commander" or something.

Thanks! yes they do, however they simply go in reversed (the wire comes out of a different location, but functionally the same. you can PM me directly too and i can knock a few bucks off, but some folks like going through an online store so I offer the options. I have them on Etsy as well. Thanks, Caleb 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbottle Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Ugh, just received a joblot of carts from fleabay and the sender has thoughtfully wrapped the carts up in a lousy carrier bag and sellotaped the open ended side of the bag to the top cart label (empire strikes back) .. ruined. give me strength. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChickenz Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 (edited) I Recently picked up Carnival. This is a pretty cool game. Don’t run out of bullets or it’s game over!

AT-ATari Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I'm doing this backwards as I haven't picked up the 2600+ (yet!) but I got this whole lot on eBay for $26! Couldn't resist. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KainXavier Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 It's been ages since I've last read through or posted on this thread so I thought I'd change at least one of those facts. I picked up Wizard of Wor and Spider Fighter yesterday. Wizard of War is in immaculate condition. I'm honestly wondering if the shop I bought it from put a new label on it. (They make custom cases for their games so I wouldn't be surprised.) That said, I'm okay either way. Of the two, Spider Fighter is definitely my favorite. It looks ridiculously good on the 2600+, and it's an absolute blast to play. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speech in Juno First is excellent! There is a db9 y splitter cable, I have one that I use on my colecovision. If I choose to use an Atari controller I plug it and the colecovision controller in together so I can use the game select number pad.
