gospeedde Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Can I still buy Glacier Patrol from Telegames like it says in the game notes on this site? If so, how do I do that? I went to their site and I can't find the game. I feel stupid asking, but my compulsion to collect is outweighing my desire to appear intelligent.

SteveW Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Telegames, in their infinite stupidity, have decided to stop selling games for 'classic' systems. Now they only sell stuff that they make for modern consoles. I've heard that the Telegames.uk branch might sell them, but I haven't checked out their site to see.

+DamonicFury Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Yikes! Glad I got a copy of this game about a year ago! (Not that it's a great game, but it's an unsual part of my collection.) I'm guessing it's new lack of availability might bump up it's rarity rating a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I've never been able to find one on AA or eBay to begin with before Telegames closed shop on classics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Yes Telegames UK still sells classic stuff, but with the weak dollar and high inernational shipping it's going to cost you much more. I broke down and got Fortress of Alcazar and Rock n Bolt for the Coleco from them. I already had Glacier Patrol, but now I'm going to be hard pressed to find all the other Telegames 2600 re-releases. Good thing I got all my Telegames Exclusives last year. I wonder if they'll go up in price now? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I've never been able to find one on AA or eBay to begin with before Telegames closed shop on classics. I wish I'd known that. I just sold my extra copy because it had been sitting in my tradebin for too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjack Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Christ, they want 30 pounds for an NES Zapper gun! A bit pricey for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 telegames has always been ridiculously overpriced, but at least they usually have the stuff in stock and ship it when they say they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just sold my extra copy because it had been sitting in my tradebin for too long. I thought you said it was an empty box. I'm looking for Glacier Patrol too. Actually I'm only interested in acquiring Glacier Patrol & Universal Chaos. I believe those are the only two unique Telegames releases in NTSC. All others were rehashed M-network games.

I forgot about that empty box. I think I still have that somewhere. I also had the game extra CIB. I had it posted for trade the last few times I posted a for trade list, but didn't have any takers (1 offer of $1.00 ) so I pulled it and sold it along with most of my other rarish extras.

MegaManFan Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Hell's bells, I'd have given you at least $5 for a loose and $10 for a boxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I ended up selling it for $10 plus shipping. I hope it doesn't become the next $100 game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Well if anyone has NTSC copies of either Glacier Patrol or Universal Chaos, complete forsale I'm offering $40 each. Needs to be NTSC though, I don't want no stinking pal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Are the Telegame UK games PAL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Are the Telegame UK games PAL? I don't know. Pal copies can be bought new for around $15. And there are a number of Telegames that are pal, and will roll on ntsc sets, so I didn't want to buy a pal listed game to try. In fact some of the games in the database here are still not correct for PAL vs NTSC. Tony posted about these awhile back here. Still I've yet to see anyone post having an NTSC Night Stalker. And some of the games listed as NTSC are not listed as NTSC by Digital Press either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Shoot! Telegames closed shop? I still needed to get a few games from them. I was confused about the whole NTSC/PAL issue with their releases. I have Glacier Patrol, but I didn't know what other unique NTSC games they had. I guess from what vga is saying, Universal Chaos. I should have gotten a copy of Quest for Quintana Roo from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Quest is on ebay all the time. I'd check to make sure it's an NTSC version, and not from Germany or somewhere, but you can find that one easy. That & Superkicks are both quite common. I have a loose Telegames Quest here now I don't really need. Universal Chaos is suppose to be a Targ conversion, which until DP released their proto late last year, was thought to not exist. So it was a unique game, and still is the only released version of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Universal Chaos is suppose to be a Targ conversion, which until DP released their proto late last year, was thought to not exist. Oh it was known to exist, we just didn't know where it was. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gospeedde Posted January 15, 2005 Author Share Posted January 15, 2005 Sigh. I guess I'm doomed (doomed I say) to live out my life a mere shell of a collector, unable even to find all the rarity 4's.
