He isn't completely MIA now. I did a search for him a few days ago and he was still active on another site as recently as last week.

I really thought Shawn was a good guy but what has happened on here hasn't left him looking too good.

Bump from the far far past. I paid $800 for mother-in-laws out of control for he 2600. Hadn't seen one in forever and of course after I shell out the big bucks there is always one on ebay now.

$800? What did it come with for $800? I hope it included at least the instructions.

It's from a listed owner -

Let's just say - if I took a 2k offer - I'd be taking a major loss.


I agree with Atari181 on this one. $1,500-$2,000 is about where I would place this. Maybe you will get lucky and find someone who will pay $3,000+ but I doubt it. There are only so many who will pay 2K+ for an Atari cart and my guess is that they all have Air Raid already. If you paid $2500 for this to resell it I think that you overpaid. I hope that you get your asking price because I always like to see a big sale but I just don't see it happening - at least not this year.

I am not really a fan of hacks...
On the other hand, DK Jr shares a lot of code with DK, more less like Pac-Man and Ms Pac-Man. Meaning a port should be fairly easy. So Jr is strong candidate after DK is released.
In fact I was thinking about a poll to decide the next arcade port after the SGM/DK are released. I think it would work if I offer only games I am really interested on as options: Pengo, DK Jr, Dig-Dug, Rally-X, perhaps Xevious and Zaxxon. I will see what I am in the mood for once we get there.

I would love to see Rally-X. I played that all the time when I was a kid.

I know you didn't list it but I know that you would do a great job with an arcade like version of Galaga.

I did a quick search and saw some of those online but the prices were high. Best Electronics list Desert Strike but I was told years ago that title was sold out so he might not have it anymore. Other titles were listed on Video 61, Telegames UK (if they are even still around) and Songbird.
