+Intellivision Master Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 These arrived today. Bermuda Triangle label isn't bad. Spider Fighter end label is missing but I'll fix that. The other two look good. Espial is a reproduction cart. Atari's compatibility list said untested. I can confirm that the game does work. This is my first Tiger Vision game. It's a pretty decent shooter. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maztr_0n Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 i feel like soon, if custom carts come back for 7800 on the storefront, i think that and the 2600 ones are going to be the way i get physical carts of the rarer games, i do like making the labels even if i cannot recreate my favorite one, but dang whatever labels they use are amazing.

John Stamos Mullet Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I was just browsing eBay and saw someone paid $610 for a 7800 Popeye. I know it’s rare because it had a short sale window, but damn, that’s ridiculous. don’t get me wrong, it’s a great game. But that’s an absurd price. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW please dont like, email the guy about it too much, it's probably best to keep that at a minimum. but it would be nice if someday all those loose ends could be tied up for the guy so his website can continue to be used for all kinds of 7800/2600 projects for years to come.

It's a pretty decent shooter. Some fun games there. I've really got into Spider Fighter recently, it feels so slick and the sprites are some of the best, at least with regards how colourful they are, on the console. An Espial original cart is expensive isn't it? So it's good to find a repro. 😊 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repro's are fine. At least they're cheaper. I think more repo carts should come out for the high cost games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they really wanted to pay their rent/mortgage too?! 🤣 if you can spend 600 dollars on a popeye game, it's likely a rich collector where money is no object and it's more important to you to have a collection of the games you want. There's for sure people out there than are like that. I'm not rich, but I paid 200 dollars each several times to get some rare 7800 homebrews and don't regret it. Even tho I could play em on roms the whole time. Edited August 4 by tradyblix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Intellivision Master Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 The Spider Fighter cart didn't work at first. So, I cleaned it but there wasn't any dirt that I saw. Then I put the cart back into the console and it still wouldn't work. I had to keep angling the cart a certain way. Finally I got it working. Anyway, it's a fun shooter. I heard it was a hard game but it didn't seem like it to me. And I've played it before but it's been a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally you need to pull them out slightly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure who wrote it, but if the author wants to sell more loose copies, have him contact me. That $610 is just plain stupid, does nobody know there are multiple people here who can make carts? My carts don't look like Hozer crust either. 😅 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
