RickR Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Craigslist find. An Atari 800 bundle. Ballblazer CIB! I'm quite happy about that. There's also a game that I'd never heard of....Deflektor. Internet research shows it was some kind of unreleased prototype. I wonder if it's real or some kind of reproduction? Also an Aquarius bundle. DeLorean, LeeJ07, Rowsdower70 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Post and discuss cool retro items you find in the wild. Today I found these laser disks (Pioneer) for $2 each. I don't have a player, and I hear they are pretty finicky anyways...but I couldn't resist. Also a couple of Playstation AV cables for $0.50 each. I have a LD player. It was non-working when I got it but I cleaned it up and it started playing like a champ. Those LD titles you have I bet are better compared to their VHS cousins. Some of these can be in a Letterbox (or widescreen) edition before widescreen TVs became available. I like it but then again I like CEDs, Beta, and VHS, too.

Also an Aquarius bundle. Your copy of Deflektor probably came from Video 61. You might contact him to confirm it. I know he has other prototype 8-bit programs that he has released on cartridge including Jr. Pac-Man and its label is similar in design to your Deflektor (name on white background above artwork). http://members.tcq.net/video61/compnew.html Scroll down to the D's and you will see it spelled "Deflector" for $29.95. So, I would say that your Atari outfit had a program cart that Video 61 released. I hope that this helps. RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I have does work on the 48k 800. But that probably has no meaning. I'll ask him. Thanks again. Atari 5200 Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowsdower70 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Interesting....taking a closer look at the cart...its also open ended. It doesn't have the little plastic block on the pins. It looks like it was made that way. I'll let the opening bid be .....say.....one MILLION DOLLARS!?
