vespertillio Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Ok I found some groovy things today. A Hozer cart from one of the Philly Classics called QB and a Superkicks/Artillery Duel double ender. Normally I don't see cool things like this in my haunts. Couple these with some others and a set of WICO NES paddles and you can call me a happy camper. V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Weird! That Hozer QB cart is from PC 2! I wonder how the hell it got out in the wild, you wouldn't think a collector would dump his stuff in a flea market. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vespertillio Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 Thats what I thought too. I wonder if someones mom found his/her stuff and sold it. Here is a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Hmm. Maybe his wife/mom got pissed and put them out in the garage sale. hehe Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vespertillio Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 Even cooler I got some I didn't have (including the above) Ram it, Flash Gordon, Pigs in Space, M.A.D., and a few Colecovision carts. It was indeed a good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 A Homebrew in the wild. That's gotta be a first. Nice job on the others, too, particularly Ram-It. Not your run-of-the-mill wild find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Actually no. Mendon found some last year. Still quite uncommon. I'm wondering if someone has kept a registry of the Qb carts? That is #7, must of been one of the first in line for it! Pretty freakin strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 SOoooo How much was it for the lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Maybe it was stolen and the thief ended up dumping it because it wasn't worth much at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Wow, that Qb cart is truly an unusual find! That is one of the original run of numbered carts, and there was a Qb registry that I believe was online at Andrew Davie's site at one point. I'm sure he'd be able to tell us who originally owned #7. I'd love to get my hands on one of these, since I did not attend PhillyClassic 2 (PC3 was my first). ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm bemused, definitely surprised! The original owner was Dan Agnew. Cheers A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Helmet Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Speaking of Hozer carts...how many of you have one that would be considered rare...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vespertillio Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 Wow, I didn't know these things had names associated with them. Suddenly I'm sensing a disturbance with my karmic mojo. If this was not supposed to be (and I'm assuming not) given/thrown/cleaned out by whatever means I would have no problems in making sure this gets back to it's rightful owner. Keep me posted.

MegaManFan Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 There aren't many carts out there that have an "ownership list" but first-release editions of Qb and Okie Dokie would definitely be among them. It's part of the reason the carts have maintained their value as collectibles despite the fact they've since been re-released - the first edition is still exclusive. In Okie Dokie's case, the # of the release was even coded into the game itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 lol wow thats hilarious. Never would have thought i'd see homebrews being found in the wilds! hope my okie dokie never makes it to the fleas :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I've often thought of sticking a homebrew in a garage sale box just for laughs, and then when somebody asked me the price I'd go "Whoops! That's not for sale" and pull it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Speaking of Hozer carts...how many of you have one that would be considered rare...? I have a Hozer Skeleton cart. I thought I had read that he only made and shipped two of them before leaving the atari scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I have a Hozer Skeleton cart. I thought I had read that he only made and shipped two of them before leaving the atari scene. That was my understanding. I don't think that there's any way to ascertain if he's sold any since going "underground" though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I have the Tin Box edition of the Hozer Marble Craze (the quality of the cart label is sub par, the sad thing is already bubbling and peeling off!) Other than that the tin is sweet and the game is exceptional! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Likewise the tin version of Marble Craze. I actually ended up with the last copy Paul had. Pity he had so many problems with the boards @ CGE, mine had to be replaced but everything worked eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 The only Hozer carts I have are A Better Pac-Man, and INV...which are probably pretty common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I also have a Hozer minesweeper and EdTris. I don't know how rare they are though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I have an Edtris too, early looking one, with paper label. says 1995 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
