Great games and great prices!

Dang, now I have that catchy Smurf theme stuck in my head.

OMG...I just played 2600 RS Baseball myself after watching your review. I forgot about the most ridiculous "feature". All the pitches look the same! Even throwing a ball! How the heck are you supposed to know when a ball is thrown if it looks identical to a normal pitch??? Well, somehow the computer knows and NEVER swings at a ball. That's cheating, plain and simple. I give this game an F-.

Totally agree with you on RS Baseball. I got this game as a kid, and I liked it at first because it looked good and it was so easy to crush the computer. I mean, who doesn't like to win when you're 11 years old? But it got boring fast.
There were some really good sports games on the 2600. Basketball on the difficult level was really challenging. Ice Hockey looked and played great. RS Volleyball looked great, played great, and was very unique. Pele's Soccer didn't look good, but there were a lot of variations and beating the computer was an accomplishment. Plus fireworks. Who doesn't like fireworks?
Oh, and the 5200 version of RS Baseball is AWESOME. The best classic baseball game period.

I don't think anyone has the true story on that one. The plausible stories I've heard:
- It was the codename for the Indy game.
- It was a plane/jet based game that got cancelled -- never made it past the prototype state.
- It was the codename for Realsports Baseball.
- It was a game in the works, but the programmer left for a different company. Took all traces with him/her.
That second one sounds the most plausible.

Awesome! #2 on your list works for me. I don't have Ninja Golf (which is #1 on your list on this video), but I think I should go look for it. Thanks.

Looking forward to your 7800 One on One review -- It's one of my favorites.
And is there a 2600 Pole Position review?

We've had a lot of good trades go down, and I'd like to thank everyone for being cool and honest. The whole point is to spread the fun with those who love and appreciate the great systems from yesteryear. Trade something you don't need for something you don't have. Have fun and meet some great people.
My trade box was empty for a while, but it's getting big again...please go look at post #1 (and everyone else's lists too) and keep the trades going!!!! I'll make sure to post any future trade pictures here.
Thanks everyone! -Rick

Oh man, this just reeks of someone buying the name for a bargain basement price.

Link does not work for me. Maybe they got busted for using the name?

Ooooh. Very nice.

Here's the other two in the lot I got. Both are working now. Just needed some TLC. Mostly it was the power switches that went bad. Coleco Football and Milton Bradley Comp IV.
And here's a shot of the whole handheld collection I've been building over many years. These things are a lot of fun, and don't take up much space.

LOOK what I found! I got this in a bundle of broken handheld games. It just needed some serious cleaning, and a new battery connector soldered in. Now it works perfectly and looks great.
What an uncomfortable name they chose though. "Touch Me". Things were quite a bit different in the 70's I guess. I suppose you'd put on your polyester leisure suit, head on down to the Regal Beagle, and ask attractive people if they'd like to play "Touch Me". Then whip this thing out of your breast pocket, and everyone gets a good laugh. Yes, that's exactly how it was in the 70's I'm sure.
