But fun ones, I’ll consider throwing a little more cash at them. Yes, definitely. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this would be a perfect candidate for a re-release IMO. @Ben from Plaion hint hint 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game is available digitally on the modern VCS if I'm not mistaken. Think I bought it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just have to be content playing it on the Atari 50 collection for now, I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the 7800 version over the 2600 version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jeremiahjt Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I can't help but think how much money O'Shea's could be making right now if they had kept their 2600 and 7800 stock instead of melting it down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane857 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Bought this earlier for £43. I'll have to play it on my original Atari VCS for now until the racing paddle is supported... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a fun game and I wish the driving controllers had been used for more than just this one title. Super sprint for my NES is one of my all-time favorite racing games. I recently discovered Sprintmaster for the 2600 and have been putting in some time in that one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_813 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 My Time Pilot cart finally got here, to join it's big brother. I haven't updated the 2600+, so for now I have to play it on the my OG 4 switch. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetmanUK Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Weltraumtunnel arrived today, it was supposed to be Space Tunnel. It's actually Laser Gates, which is probably a better game, but I already had Laser Gates. 🤷🏻🤣Ah well, I enjoy having these alternative versions too. I have another Weltraum Tunnel on the way so let's see what that one is when it arrives, the screenshots show it to be Space Tunnel... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM_ Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Well I thought I was done collecting for now with my last update, but that empty space in my 3rd party games drawer was an itch that needed scratching so I looked around and found a couple inexpensive M-network bundles that allowed me to complete the set. Filled out that space nicely. Now I’m taking a break from collecting. I mean it this time. Ha ha 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen that style of cart before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Strategy X, a Konami cart. I’ve had that one for a long time. Its label is torn so the end is missing. I’ve got a replacement label on order right now.

+LS650 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Ah. I have no Konami carts so it is completely new to me. A "new" cart showed up in my mail; a Crackpots cart that was just a few bucks on eBay. I gave it a quick whirl during my lunch break: essentially a variant of Kaboom you play with a joystick instead of paddle. It's not a bad game and definitely easier than Kaboom! For a 2600 game the graphics are very 'pretty'. Too bad about the typically crappy Activision label. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
