It’s hard to take a good picture of a CRT, but it has a great picture and the remote is original and barely used. So far, I’m very happy with the purchase.

socrates63 Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 8 Bit Milli Games (rebranded now as Console Moo) releases for the 2600 -- the boxed games currently have a $10 discount each. Infiltrator/Astro War is a double ended cartridge, a first for me. Now how do I find the time to play these? 😂 RickR, sramirez2008, TrekMD and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sramirez2008 Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 (edited) It does look cool. I purchased a couple of ColecoVision games (Classics Reimagined V1: Demon Attack & New Atlantis and Desolator) when they were still 8 Bit Milli. @socrates63 let us know what you think of the double ender.🙂 Edited April 20 by sramirez2008 socrates63 and RickR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 I received this yesterday. I would have preferred the "book" part of this was more like a book and not lose sheets. I'll scan them so I can read them without having to fold and unfold it. It won't last. The cards are cool, though! Smell Dawg, socrates63 and RickR 3 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...

He doesn’t seem to have any more of the extension cables, but he’s selling light frames and light pens. https://www.ebay.com/itm/186382893963?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=NC0junFkSLe&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=vGa3hq3TSji&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY TrekMD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Thanks. I'll have to watch for the extension cords. I have the frames already. 🙂 I sent him a message to see if makes the cables available again.

I have a light pen from Sean Kelly, so I don’t need that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up just using a Genesis extension cable that I trimmed the end of it so that it would fit into the ports. This way, I can use it with my Vectrex and my 7800 equally with the Avox+ TrekMD 1 Quote See what I'm up to over at the Ivory Tower Collections: http://www.youtube.com/ivorytowercollections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sramirez2008 Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 I ordered a 2nd AtariVox so I can dedicate it to the Vectrex. I don’t want to have to flip those dip switches too many times. They seem fragile. I’d rather set them once and forget it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I basically did the same thing but it was due to small issues with the earlier Avox+ units vs not wanting to flip the switches. I modified the earlier one to correct for the issue and that made it Atari only at that point so the newer one I bought about 2 years back is to be used more for my Vectrex. sramirez2008 1 Quote See what I'm up to over at the Ivory Tower Collections: http://www.youtube.com/ivorytowercollections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 (edited) I have two AtariVox's myself. I didn't want to be moving switches and run the chance I'd mess up the unit.

greenween Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Treated myself. This is the last Sega Genesis I wanted for my collection. Love it. Had an sd card already loaded for the Gamestation. Had it running in 10 minutes. Very fun for $35. 🙂 Smell Dawg, TrekMD and RickR 3 Quote "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime."

greenween Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 (edited) I should clarify, the Gamestation was $35. Haunting was $50. 🙂 Worth every penny though. I had it on The Sega Channel back in 95 for a couple months, but never owned a copy. Edited April 23 by greenween TrekMD 1 Quote "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime."

I also have an Uno for the 8-bit but I don't use it that much. I also have the BBPro 8-bit atari adapter. But again...rarely used. The Fuji is able to do everything I pretty much want, minus the fact it can't handle large disk images and some formats it isn't able to do like any cartridge image formats for instance.

It is essentially a UnoCart with built-in 128mb storage and a USB-C connector to add files. I like it because the 3D printed case is so nice. My uno cart has a very small case that is difficult to insert correctly. I haven't gone Fuji because I think it is a level of complexity a bit too high for my limited time. Uno/Pico offer really good compatibility in my experience. XEX/ATR/CAR/TAP -- all formats seem to work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was from the same guy that @- Ω - advised with some replacement Ti-99 Final GROM replacement shells. But again, it doesn't get used very much since I got my Fuji. And I don't use most of the functions off my Fuji. I just pop the SD card into my PC to load it up with the games and programs I want and just run it that way. It is nice being able to connect to other resources for those files through the cart online and copy them locally as well. Basically, the Fuji for the basic stuff is easy to use is my point. It handles the XEX and ATR files. It can handle some CAS files but I've not gotten anything else to work. So no CAR and it can't run stuff over a certain size either.

I also have a Fujinet and unocart. I too use the FujiNet the majority of the time and mostly the SD functionality as well. Agree real easy to use. They also have high score enabled games (50 or so this far) that are fun too. @RickR I may be interested in the pico for my 16k atari 400 and/or larger cartridges (such as crime buster buster does not work off my uno). Would be curious if these may work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
