vb_master Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 They had a booth at PC5, I went by to check it out, very interesting stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 You wouldn't think that they would use real cartridges... just print up new labels and make a new case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 What do you guys think of their ROM chip dog tags. I'm going to see if they can custom make a Quadrun compac for my wife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop please that would be barbaric, evil and sick! Poor poor Rarity 9 Quadrun ROM chip! leave endangered species alone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Maybe its like those candy necklaces you can get from gum machines... multifunctional.. works as fashion & can be plugged into a real Atari & played.. I think those are neat, I wouldn't wear one, but it does look like the next emo/punk/Atari/mesh/retro/ska auction for ebay.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.FoodMonster Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I thought about making one myself... after seeing them, I dont think I will. And if I see ANYONE with them, I'm going to yell at them because they probably have never even played an Atari of any sort. I wish they had a close-up of the rom-chip dogtags, though.

ussexplorer Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I would hope that in purchasing all of those carts to do anything they want to. They pull the rare ones to the side. Then again think of how many people would want E.T. and PacMan Carts. So once again we are saved by the stinkers perhaps? later, ussexplorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 http://www.yakmala.com/ Funny... but hell of a waste of perfectly good carts. In case you forgot our PC5 prank on Atari Troll, we (SS, Ed Siegler, The Mrs and I) told him that the Yakmala people had taken the Combat 01 and made it into a wallet. Incidentally what happened to that thing - has it been around the world twice by now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Honestly, i'd like a Pac-Man one. Firstly, it's a better use for a Pac-Man cart, hollowing it out and disposing the stinkbomb game inside it, and secondly, i'd like to use it as a GBA cartridge storage case for road trips.

+-^CrossBow^- Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Yeap...and even though you can't see the romtags...they are clipping off the main part of the PCB and only leaving the the contacts section and about another centimeter there to keep it slim. So there isn't any actual ROM chip on there...just the PCB connector section. So, they aren't really ROMtags...they are just PCBtags...and not even complete ones. I will agree that I wish they would use new cases and make their own labels instead of using actual 2600 carts for this. Many of those carts could have been future homebrews?! And for the cost of $12...I don't see why they can't order new cases, and create their own labels. Afterall, many of the homebrews now from AA are in new cases with new labels and cost on average of about $25-$30. They are just empty shells...so they should be able to order those in bulk for cheap new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I think thats hilarious. I think I shall make one out of air raid and malagai and and and Stuff like this is great, it goes right along with my 'increase the rarity' campaign. The more commons get hosed, the more valueable my collection becomes! MUWWAHAHAAA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATARI TROLL Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 http://www.yakmala.com/ Funny... but hell of a waste of perfectly good carts.

Incidentally what happened to that thing - has it been around the world twice by now? LMFAO-I thought you were kidding about that site....Last I heard about the Combat Cannonball Run....It was sent to CPUWIZ and he probably went to visit roswell or area 51 with the cart in hand...who knows CPU hasn't said much since he received the cart......could have been lost in the mail....kinda of gave up on the whole idea......sucked on the support anyway Twas a good Joke Mr & Mrs MMF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Hey, that's a great way to get rid of a few old commons! I do wonder what they're using for the hinge, though. I hope it's not just "glue down some felt and hope it doesn't wear out". That Imagic cart was probably a pain to hinge, whatever they did. As for the screams of "they could be used in homebrews!", get real. There are plenty of commons out there (that's why we call 'em commons), and there's no way this can even make a slight dent in the supply. When AtariAge raises their bounty from 50 cents, then you can start worrying. And those "rom chip dogtags" are just the edge connector sawed off of the PCB. (Who but a total nerd would tolerate the chip pins scratching up their neck?) Six bucks for those is a great way to make easy cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
