Tempest Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 The first batch you listed all appear to be WIP versions. I would love to see what's different about them. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimefighter Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 That is weird that so many carts were stuck down there like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canyonfisher Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 with the protos was a 5200 system and trackball, along with a bunch of regular released games, it wasn't a stash of just protos... that would be truly strange. I Think the whole set up had been there since the early 80s, everything was in good shape. I sold the system and trackball on ebay 5 years back, now I wish I held on to it. The trackball sold for $125. I think the system sold for $50. At the time I didn't know what the protos were, and I didn't think they were sellable on ebay, so I just held on to them as a curiosity. glad I did!
