RickR

RickR got lucky!
A Rana disk drive for the Atari 8-bit computers.  The cover is not attached, which probably means it's broken.  Still....I drooled over these drives back in the 80's.  So sleek.  The LED display.  Higher density.  Even broken, it is welcome in my collection.  A little box of floppy disks.  And three Atari computer books.  A label-less Intv game that I didn't have.  A SMS game!  (lucky thing to find).  A complete DS game.  

Btw, that Dick Tracy book is a really good read. The original daily comic strips combined to tell one long case, and this book collects several cases. Even adults can enjoy them and they still hold up today, even with some of them being 80+ years old!
Highly recommended if you like comics or if all you know of Dick Tracy is the 1990 movie.

Here is what I took out, after many hours of debate.  
Mega Man 4 and Othello for the N.E.S. (so far even on easy I can't even come close to beating the computer in othello)
Grow a Girlfriend (my kid said "your not going to take that!"  so I said, "but what if mommy doesn't come home, boom, new mommy!" my mother in law got a kick out of that).
and for the Sega Vectorman (I've been looking for this one for a while, just tried it out today, fun game) Triple Score and Too Cool To Fool.
She's all ready to go to Jmjustin6 now.

I need more SMS games.  Is it just me, or are they hard to find?

Sure throw my hat in the ring IF shipping to Canada is not an issue? If not I totally understand if you prefer to keep shiping within your borders, I am not in a position to spend on my hobby currently but a freebie is cool  Any excuse to do an unboxing lol.

I have a second one here that is not getting any use. Not sure if I have all the cords for it or if it even works. If you are interested I will pull it out to test it and get it over to ya!!!! Message me if you are interested.

It's totally true about the long filenames. Dates, authors, part numbers, clones, its a mini ready-reference. What I found most valuable is the sorted-by folders.
 
I would often play that way when I was a kid, pull out all the Imagic games, then all the activision stuff..

I don't think I have much "Not for resale" items.  The only one I can think of is Sonic for Genesis. 

In. Thanks.

In. Thanks.

I have the power base converter and a real SMS gamepad, and it works well.

I have never owned any GB or GBA multi carts. Odd birds indeed. This one is very interesting, thanks for sharing!!!! 

Wow never heard of a multi cart with that kind of select set up. Thats a shame. I would love to play super marioland but 31 times you gotta press that button. Id probably just play tetris over and over again

That's such a strange game select mechanic!


I have seen multi-cart GB carts before, but not that one.    

I've just reviewed Atari.io!
