tep392 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 It's a bank switch cart. I don't think Atari had any bank switched versions of BASIC. Maybe it's someone else's BASIC. wait, it's definitely Atari. Maybe Microsoft BASIC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+MacRorie Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Can someone tell me what, if anything I am missing here, $1500 for an Atari 800 and some stuff is too crazy for crazy. Unless . . .hmmm... maybe crazy HAS changed? The soft focus photos make me FEEL like it is 1979. Or is that feel like I am in a 70s porno? I always get that mixed up. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 262205922846 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 That picture looks like someone used an old 110 film camera with dirty lens. But I think I know why it is worth $1500: free shipping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 The people with no knowledge of what they're selling are always trying to trick some poor person into buying things they believe are old and rare. If I had a sucker who'd pay exorbitant prices for all this stuff, I'd be a millionaire by now. It's sad to see some people do get duped into buying stuff.

7800fan Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Search for "commodore 64 warcraft" and you will see lots of listing. There's one problem, World of Warcraft were never made for C64 yet eBay seems to be including Commodore 64 in many of Warcraft listing. I think it started when some noob attached Commodore 64 to the item specific and many ignorant noobs used sell like this link which included inaccurate details with the game. Maybe I should hop onto my little used backup account and buy up a bunch of Warcraft games, then open SNAD claim that games don't work on my Commodore 64 as claimed. Commodore 64 never had CD-ROM support anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 151971496730 For something missing the original box, it went for a lot. I'm willing to bet there are a few troll bidders in the mix. That's insane. I knew that was rare but that's just rediculous money to pay for an incomplete game. I saw another seller wanting 100K for a complete copy. I guess that rich <> smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 On the bright side, the shipping was reasonable. Not $20 or so like some sellers tended to gouge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Ya 4,000 is a lot for a game. But look at this.

Is the seller using a small cast iron safe to ship the game in? Or is Canada post office trying to get revenge for USPS jacking up price?

0078265317 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Ya but 99,999.99 in the first place. 85 is not so bad if the total was under 4,000 like only few hundred. But who is willing to pay 99 thousand for a game. I don't care how rare it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari8bitCarts Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Anyone know what the board is? It's certainly not BASIC. I got nothing when I googled the ROM, C030578 That's an XE game board. It's Necromaner I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8bitCarts Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I've come to the realization that I will never own the truly rare of rare games now in this day and age. With the ease of printing labels and burning your own carts, I wouldn't trust anything put out there. If some chance I can ever find stuff in the wild, that would be my only hope of finding anything, or I get it from a very, very reputable collector. Phil So true. It saddens me to think that someday very soon those crappy knock-offs, repro's, and home made POS's will pass off as real. And don't get me started on VGA ratings, labeling a disk box set as a cartridge, etc. You'd have no idea what was actually in there packages since they have no idea what it is to begin with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing is that the most expensive item in that collection is the Chalkboard cart and that's maybe $100-120 on a good day now. I saw the board and asked the seller if he had any carts and they then realized the had one. Total, I'd say best $230-250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Synergy Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Want to buy a picture of someone else playing Atari?

HoshiChiri Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 This thing just confuses me on so many levels: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nintendo-NES-Mod-Controller-for-Sega-Genesis-/301819106758?hash=item4645d215c6:g:0xcAAOSwQoFWQRX4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Looks like shit hack job. Someone wired the individual buttons from NES controller into a Genesis controller and are relying on Genesis controller's IC to do the signal encoding. I could probably do a proper hack job as 74157 is easy to get. A little wiring and I don't need an in-line controller to be an interpreter. And a lot cheaper than what he is charging for. Looking on eBay, cheap NES controller clone is under $3 each and 74157 can be bought from online sources like Mouser for under 50 cents each. Add in about $8 for a 9 pin extension cable and you could have a nice looking NES controller for Genesis for under $15 total plus wiring and soldering time. The seller clown must think the labor is worth $60 and is hoping to fish up a few suckers with money to burn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
