TrekMD Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 I want some sort of generic case for the 7800 GD. Stone Age Gamer was selling their version with a case but it was far too difficult to get. I got it from Atari Age as they were available. Justin 1 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...

RickR Posted August 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 Tip: Join the Stone Age Gamer Discord. They give advance notice when stock will be available 🙂 I'm not doing the GameDrive myself as I've been so happy with the Concerto (with POKEY added). But I'm interested to know how it works!

CrossBow Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 13 hours ago, RickR said: Game Drive! You and @CrossBow will have to let us know what you think! And really nice other stuff too. I should buy that McDonald's game for Genesis too! And mine arrived yesterday! I was messing around with it quite a bit last night (I should have been doing other stuff...but...ehh). And it isn't perfect by any means, but it is right up there with my Dragon Fly on what it can do currently and since it can play Rikki & Vikki with full audio, it does have the DF beat in that regard. But ONLY that regard. Covox audio isn't working currently on the 7800GD and will have to be addressed in future FW updates. Some games have issues playing on the 7800GD, and the AV out is pretty picky on what will or won't work from it at the current time. There will be a hardware revision of the 7800GD to address the AV output stuff. Likely the next batch of them will have that in place.

Smell Dawg Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 A few more arrivals. I had Superman and Enduro back in the day, so those were definitely familiar experiences. I'm having a blast with Seaquest, and haven't tried Space Shuttle just yet, though I'm looking forward to it! The interview posted to Atarimania.com is what piqued the interest in it!! Star Raiders, my previous pickup, has been rough for me. Think a how-to video is in order for that one 😅 Sabertooth, RickR, TrekMD and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Seaquest is a fun game. Space Shuttle is a pretty impressive shuttle simulation for the 2600. Enduro has to be the best driving game on the 2600. I remember playing to get the patch back then. It is one of the patches I was able to get and I still have it. 🙂 Justin, RickR, Smell Dawg and 1 other 4 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...

socrates63 Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 During my 15 day hospital stay, I ordered a bunch of games. Here's a batch from Repentless Video Games. I just love the quality of the label and workmanship from RVG. They're on par with AtariAge cartridges and official Atari cartridges from back in the day (in my opinion). With the addition of Bloody Human Freeway and Venetian Blinds, I think I have cartridges of all the Activision unreleased roms--maybe there are more but I dunno. Just based on the cartridge label alone, I had to have Rescue the Princess. I assume this is a hack of Princess Rescue which I bought several years ago. I'm always game for hacks involving Space Invaders or Pac-Man. RickR, TrekMD, Justin and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were ordered alongside a slew of other carts and preorders (had that 20% off order coupon from Funstock) - so I’m guessing they’ll all arrive with the Duke Nukem stuff down the road TrekMD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrekMD Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Those look to be in excellent condition! My copy of Riddle of the Sphinx is autographed by Bob Smith.
