Nice. Just ordered some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a box coming later today (hopefully) from a great member here who've I've done a bunch of trades and purchases over the years. Is anyone here based in Germany (or a nearby European country)? I really want to get a certain 2600 cartridge only available there. Please PM me if you want to help! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokmic Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Having fun rebuilding a bit of a collection. Picked up 2 7800 games today in Croydon, taking my 7800 collection now to 3 😂. Tower Toppler was on the shop shelf a month ago, the last time I went in, so a bit surprised to see it still there for £10. Not a great condition label but seems reasonable. Pole Position sealed was £20 which also seems pretty good. I’ll crack that open later. Hope these two don’t need two buttons otherwise gotta wait for the pad to come out. They had 20 copies of Combat but looks like the loose 2600 selection has been well raided. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about tower topper, I don't have that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetmanUK Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Just now, shane857 said: Wow, spyhunter! I like Nexar, good game. Yeah I found a so so deal. 🤣 Nexar is fun, and I love the Spectravideo carts, they are probably my favourite third party ones. They are cool, slightly blingy with all the silver, have a sprung dust cover, sexy rear... but with a touch of cheapo. What does this say about me? 🤷🏻🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah ... half of my 8 Spectravideo/Spectravision cartridges, even though they look like brand new, do not work. Bitrot?

Now you need to aquire a 2 controller adapter so you can use both buttons for SpyHunter. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Intellivision Master Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) These are some of the recent games I got. Midnight Magic has a missing prong but does work. I like the tune it plays when you get game over. Qbert is fun but I usually fall of the blocks lol. Spitfire Attack is good. It would be nice if there was a lock on option to shoot down the planes. I know there is a special controller for this game. It might be hard to find and expensive. But it would be cool to have it.

I like Spitfire but it should have autofire... to continuously tap the fire button is nonsense if simulating a WWII fighter plane🙃 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
