*** Joins: Hawk9 (Hawk@234.middletown-004.va.dial-access.att.net) is this the classic games irc ? Hawk: you wouldn't think, huh umm.. heheh do you guys know if Telegames sells new games mint in the box ? hawk: we're being raided by some pervert channel, HELP! Hawk: only if they have them in stock. If the games are owned by them they're packaged, labeled, etc. by them. <--sitting back & spectating at the range of non-vidgame discussion. kev: have you been to Kings Island on that day? Everyone 'participating' is supposed to wear a red shirt I think... speaking of non-game discussion, where's the people for me to talk about Yes with? oh well :) so all the coleco games are just new chips in new boxes ? interesting to see, that's for sure rub: odd. Red is the color KUPD listeners are supposed to wear to concerts. rub: no, but I know how it goes... you're supposed to wear red. two topless lesbians on the water rides for a bit, then they got booted... Hawk: right...they manufacture new carts. But they're fairly worthless, IMHO very true i agree drd: definately not worth their 'like-new' prices, I don't think yes heh kev: nope so what happened to all there orginal 80's stuff was it really all lost in a tornado ? someone was trying to talk Yes with me last night... kev: it's cheaper to download the roms hehehe Rubber: awesome! :) drd: hehehe. Or, buy a CV multi? ;-) I don't remember Yes. What songs did they do? I forget who it was... all we could come up with was Keys to Ascention was the latest CD, and that Lemmy could beat up Yes and Geddy Lee. or something or Glen Danzig... or... damn... I forget, it got a bit strange Nick: "another flowery song about monumental pretty things", stuff like that Nick: the first one you'd remember is Owner of a Lonely Heart...they did Roundabout, Long Distance Runaround, Starship Trooper, Rhythm of Love, etc. etc. mick: julie's sick and tired of her job and all the reasons lately Mick: that's a new yes lyric :) demento did telegames really lose all there orgianl stuff in a tornado? hawk: I got a bunch of semi-damaged lynx games NIB from a tornado sale (telegames titles) drd: whoohoo! Hawk: they lost a large amount of it pk thanks ok i mean ; P nib with water damage heh heh. I bet they wish they'd lowered their prices.... I wonder how many folks ended up with cases of lynx games in their front yard * Rubbertoe laughs because now they're worth jack shit. i was gonna order all there coleco games but if there not orginal ones any ideas where to get them ? mick: of course later in the song they say something like "shirley gets to help her with the child though she's strung out on crack-time" * DrDemento wonders what crack-time is mick: heheh. depends on who still had a front yard, i guess Hawk: don't ever, ever, ever, ever buy things from a mail-order place unless you've tried all other venues first Hawk: ever hear of thrift stores and flea markets? so all those games they have listed on there web page are just new chips ? *** Joins: Bravehrt (Theo@ppp-spr-fl-003.atlantic.net) *** Bravehrt is now known as Icewolf Hawk: new ROM copies drd: "wow, they're so gritty now, I'll have to give them a chance!" Hawk: they're good to play but not to collect drd: =) heheh yeah i have heard of thrifts ; ) *** Joins: TV_Boy (ident@c271481-a.frmt1.sfba.home.com) Hawk: you could download the roms right off my page and play them on an emulator Hawk: at least the ones Telegames doesn't own :P Ooof... Randy Ayers and Nancy Darsh were both fired today (OSU mens and womens basketball coaches) Hawk: see, they sent me a nastygram threatening legal action if I didn't remove them from my page so who has the biggest colection of boxed games these days ; ) I've built up a decent SW collection... Hawk: who knows Hawk: but if you buy them from a PERSON, you'll pay way too much Is O'shea still in business? lots of common FBE crap, but some decent titles you must have some idead i know JerryG has mostly loose carts ; ) Hawk9: Probably Clint...aka Mr_Do Nick: yup and with all the auctions in r.g.v.classic lately, I bet you could find just about any common-ish title fairly cheap who was that guy who bought those 4 crazy climbers mint in boxed for $300 a piece ? Rubber: I noticfed that too Hawk: a crazy, crazy person Hawk9: From who? I thought he paid more than $300 each? (and the boxes were smashed up from what I remember) wtf? when was this? i want to start collecting who has mint boxed stuff for sale ? * Rubbertoe is wondering about something... heheh rub: which is? rubber did you have a mint Chase the chuck ? with box ? epp: can't remember... awhile back. yup you sold the box seprately ? * Rubbertoe nods... to riffraff riff still have it ? The box must be worth way more than the cart! I imagine... it was a neat box... silver... metallic... neat I think it miffed a few people that I'd split up such a mint box/cart/inst but riff's got it complete now afaik, so... ;) tell riff raff ill give him $300 for the box and instuctions if there still mint he can email me at hawk009@worldnet.att.net Rubbertoe: I bet you got way more $ parting it out like that. hawk: and you just wanna *start* collecting? hehehe tv_boy... well, the cart loose went for 350 to one guy my Waterworld also was auctioned at that time... I think it went for 145 im looking at the cart right now its still shines like the sun ; ) Rubber: right he got the cart from me and the box from you, when did he get the manual? * kevtris bought his WW for $65. :-) Anyone know or seen a Halloween w/box for the 2600? Dr: when he got the box, the manual went with it Hawk: why do you want to spend too much money for stuff you probably aren't going to play anyway? Rubber: ohh I didn't know that. Cool. just tell him ill pay that for the box * kevtris has a mint CtCW with the 'manual' the 'manual' is simply a half-sheet of paper hand-typed. :-) Hawk: why? Wow...$350 was a pretty good deal for you tv: definitely... I've not seen it topped since then.. but in my defense it was mint... kev: wow cool, if I print out CtCW manual on my new printer with a Courier font it'll be the 'manual' hehehe H9: I can tell you he won't sell it.... because i have the cart and i need the box ;P it was crazy to seperate them drd: hehehehehe. It doesn't say 'Chase the Chuckwagon Hawk: yeah but why spend so much? That's completely lame ' in bubble-script at the top, tho. :-) ?? why is it lame i cant find it any where else ? Hawk: because you want to spend $350 for it i work hard for my money and i love video games Hawk: so much that you'd spend the amount I spend on rent? Rubber: More power to you, get the best offer you can. kev: hahaha im sorry Dr but i work for my money like anyone else and i would really love to complete that cart if you could find me another one mint in the box ill buy it from you bleh. finding carts in the wild is much more fun than shucking out $$$ to get them. anybody can do that. Hawk: you do realize that you're clearly insane and that none of us take you seriously * kevtris would love to complete his ROM image collection... a much cheaper option, than the Real Thing... tho, I hunt for the Real Thing every week. :-) yeha but after 2 years o f hitting every thrift shop and salvation army in a 100 mile radius plus putting adds in papers i have NEVER EVER found one * kevtris notes that nothing can replace finding carts like Shuttle Orbiter for $1. :-) Hawk: this is not a hobby like antique collecting, it's more a hobby to *play* games, get it? *PLAY*. Spending $350 for a box for a game is utterly ridiculous. Wait...2 years of hitting every thift and salvation army? I thought you were just starting to collect. hehehe H9: Never found one what? Not one cart in 2 years?????? No way..... Hawk: if I had the box I'd sell it to you for $350. no chase the chuck so you think jerry is crazy too for getting 200 for carts ? hey gormadoc Hawk: no, I think you're crazy for spending 200 for carts or renny in phoenix ? gorm: you never responded to my email hawk: if you're going to shell out $$$ for rare stuff, why not buy a River Patrol or something that's much, much rarer than CtCW? H9: I have not found one in years either, but lot's of other cool stuff I did find, some of it better than CtCw. TV: right. Spending $350 for a box isn't "fun". or buy something with a bit more play value i think your missing the point Dr D im very much a games fanatic like you i just need it complete my collection what is so bad in that ? gorm: that's bullshit, you're a speculator/investor ?? ? Hawk: I need it to complete my collection as well, but not for $350 hawk: I have a feeling you never will complete your collection... Hell, JerryG cannot even complete his collection. :-) Hawk: even if someone was standing in front of me with the box in-hand, and I had $350 extra lying around with nothing to do...I could buy a lot more classic gaming stuff than a *BOX* that would be more satisfying FOR $350... you can buy a Vectrex 3D imager, probably. *** Joins: |tsr (~dedede@isr1644.urh.uiuc.edu) i have that already <|tsr> PEEKABOO * kevtris would buy enough EPROMs to make 30 Coleco multi's with $350. :-) hey tsre Much more fun than a slab of cardboard. *** Arcadian sets mode: +o |tsr earm, tsr I feel okay about splitting up the box from the cart because it went to riffraff, one who can really appreciate it for what it is, not for just it's possible value Hawk: how much did you pay for that imager, hmm? Rubber: you ruled for splitting it up 50 from dragons den Rubber: I think that if any of us deserved it, riff did * Fygar is GLAD that rubbertoe didn't allow the box to go to some investor who won't appreciate or play the shit Hawk: 50 is a decent price. H9: Do you have a remote control 2700? want one? Yeah, the guy I sold my CtCW seemed like mostly a investor type... I don't really know if he played em or not.... Hawk: however, when was the last time you sat down and played a good old fashioned game of 3D Minestorm? he knew titles and rarity fairly well though from what I remember, it was quite a while ago yeah no kidding you guys are wacked you think im some scroodge money maker on video games tvb: do you have a 2700? yeah...... especially when your R's will be valuable in 30 years anyway. Hawk: *WE'RE* whacked? YOU'RE the one wanting to spend $350 on a piece of cardboard. id rather play kaboom or venture : ) or icy racing on the 2600 :P nick: not to mention that many carts will be dead due to bit-rot. :-/ and, while I'd like to keep rare games like that, I would rather have the cash to re-invest in more equipment... Eppy: Sure do, with box even. <|tsr> yeah, that icy racing rocks tvb: wow. how the hell did you get that? <|tsr> i was just playing indy500 :0 that CtCW sale funded my Supervision sale, which recently funded my N64 habit.. you guys dontundestand i have almost everything except for taiwan and pal crap which i dont care about not that I am saying that n64 is a worthy replacement of classic stuff heh but it all stays in videogames and 3do hawk: yeah right hawk: I have stuff you'd only see in your dreams Hawk: so you have over 1400 2600 carts but i really do love games my house is stuffed with them I'm thinking of selling my Sega 3D glasses and games... Hawk: and every other system including MP1000, Emerson Arcadia, RCA Studio II, and all their respective carts? hawk: Hehehe. I have the ROM images of those games, which I enjoy. I would like to have the carts, but unless I find them, I'm not gonna pay $200+ for them. ben's got 1393 2600 carts =) my 3D games are boxes... and I also have Y's. Eppy: Long story, but Fygar can verify I have one.... maybe more :) i have 3 tv's with almost all sysytems hooked up too them its like a 80's flash back i love it I saw an RCA Studio II in a thrift a few days ago... but I didn't see a place for a PS... whats up with that? only an RF out it looked Rubber: think 5200 rub: I have one... it's like the 5200 oh oh tvb: don't doubt your veracity. just think that's a fairly incredible piece of hardware for somebody to have. duh... hehe Rubber: go to my RCA Studio II page and see a scan of the schematic for building a switchbox I can't wait until they invent a flat television that can go on a wall... one could just wallpaper the room with them. * kevtris saw a 2700 at S-K's place. :-) nick: they have... it's like 25k for a 40 incher Hawk9: I'm offering you a mint, working, Remote control Atari 2700 with original press photo's for $1000 dr D no i dont have 1400 2600 games i didnt know there where that many unless your talking label variations and taiwan and pal versions heheh. that schematic for a substitute 5200 switchbox works just as well for the RCA ehheheh i have enough sticks :P Hawk: no, I'm talking about the # of known carts mentioned in VGR's list. Apparently you haven't looked very carefully. Hawk: see all you guys claim to have "everything" but you don't. Eppy: oh? They use a somewhat identical switchbox? I didn't know that. The only thing that I'd try to have "everything" for is the Virual Boy. And I do. :) I think. hawk: VGR doesn't count PAL versions of games, so there are tons more than listed. (i.e. PAL versions of most the Atari titles, etc) hiarrow whay do you keep comparing me to some evil group of mad cart colectors bent on destrying the hobbie ? drd: well, it lacks any sort of power switch...it just goes on when you plug it in...but it does work drd: I wouldn't doubt if the 5200/RCA use an identical box gorm: how many FBE's did you buy? I have logs of what you told me back in mid-1996. ahh Rubber: right, try to have all carts for systems that are easy to count the #'s on :) amiga demo Eppy: heh cool Hawk9: We don't think you're going to destroy the hobbie. We think it's just silly to spend $350 on a box. hobbie? Strange.....he want's a $350 CtCw box, and wont respond to a legit 2700 offer??? For $80 I could buy one of Merc's TV Boys and have 127 games and just one box..... don't they make surfboards? :-) hawk: how many FBE packs *did* you buy? hobbie club homepage? :) Hawk: I don't think spending $350 for a box is going to destroy "the hobby". Hey that's something interesting, the only other person I've seen call collecting "the hobby" is JerryG epp: ROTFLMAO! but if i really want it and theres now whre else i cant get it why is it crazy to offer 300 for the box i have the cart IT was a shame to break them up : ( hawk: ? <|tsr> ctcw has a box? tsr: yup, one that Hawk9 wants to spend $350 on Does anyone here know anybody who bought CtCW from Chuck Wagon originally? hawk: but it was broken up to form another complete set ny someone who really really wanted it for it's collectors value, not cash or whatever... Hawk: oh boohoohoohoohoo riff now has a complete CtCW... so it isn't like it was split up really... <|tsr> drd: yeahyeah, but i didn't know ctcw had abox argh hehehe there you go again why dont you think i collect for my personal reasons why do you think i collect for money ? am i the only one who has had a CtCW box among us? hawk: do you have an okie dokie? ack Unfreakin believable! * Rubbertoe gets a sick feeling kinda wishing he still had it. Hawk: I had Chase the Chuckwagon and was stuck 250 miles from home. If I hadn't sold it I wouldn't have gotten home, and I'd do it in a heartbeat if it happened again. I don't regret it. *** Joins: _sdc_ (goaway@Cust107.Max25.Philadelphia.PA.MS.UU.NET) <|tsr> rub: you should scan it :) * InfoGoon would have kept the CTCW box, for sure! * Rubbertoe hangs his head... Hawk: it'd be nice to have it still, but I don't. No big deal, I'm not going to shell out 350 bucks for it. I could buy a decent inkjet printer for that. :) Okie Dokie? hahaha ./msg hawk9 how many FBE packs *did* you buy? gorm: I'll let mine go for $800.. Okie Dokie, that is * InfoGoon is getting a CTCW, btw!!!!!!!!! :) . no reply <|tsr> rub: you dork, you should listen to hawk9 ;) Hawk: if a person is collecting for fun, they don't spend 350 bucks to play a game that's not really fun * kevtris has a CtCW, btw!!!!!!!! :-) See thats Not fair Dr D i WORK my Ass Off and i have extra money to spend on something Why in the hell does it make you so mad ?? Info: for how much? I don't know what it is with me, but I can hold onto UR carts for more than a few months... but, imho I sold at a good time... 350 for a loose CtCW is really good, imho again. kev:hehe * DrDemento had a CtCW, btw!!!!! same with 145 for WW drd: not much....a few SNES carts. :) drd: then it's not even a game!! It's a piece of cardboard * Fygar notes that he just finished reading scrollback from 30 minutes ago. GORM (hawk9) was the one who bought 4 Crazy Climbers for $1500.. and that $350 CtCW from Rubbertoe! Not to say that it's wrong, but gorm shouldn't be poppin' in here, acting like a newbie, and asking around for deals on boxed games. kev: yup * |tsr has hot slots and a cool cd, btw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kev: we should make a list. "What $350 will buy" * Fygar has Okie Dokie #1.. surely it's worth the $800 he's asking drd: LOL! drd: 25 hookers! gorm: oh, how much you want for my Kevtris #1? how about a kevtris proto? =) $350 will buy an average year's worth of phone bill for me * kevtris didn't get an Okie Dokie. Hawk: You can buy several blow jobs from reasonably good looking women on the street for that amount. $350 will buy a year and a half worth of 50MB of web space * kevtris will trade a Kevtris proto for an Okie Dokie. :-) IT seems that you are in A tuff part in your life and have money problems but its dam sad to rag on me because i have money and want to buy a box for some personal reason $350 will feed the hungry quite well. I'd rather have several blow jobs than a piece of cardboard no matter how rare it was. Hawk: how is it darn sad that I think $350 is a lot of money for a piece of cardboard? hawk: Buy whatever you want. I personally don't care. :) Besides, I don't think anyone here has a box. nick: hell, I sometimes give those for free!! ;-) Nick: ooh good point Do you get mad when someone buys a dam 35 inch tv for 2500 do you want them to pay 500 becasue its more practical ? NickB: The voice of reason! $350 will buy 14 commodore 1702 monitors Nick: know of a hooker that'll take the box for CtCW for blow jobs? ep: LOL! $350 will buy 24Mbytes worth of EPROMs :-) heheh DrD: JerryG might blow him for it? Guys, we're losing him. To Hawk9, a CtCW box == a big-screen TV. $350 will get my airfare and hotel accomodations for E3! * Fygar hi-fives TV_Boy * _sdc_ could use 14 1702's and the space to keep them in. =) *** Joins: Nug (duh@mach19.neversoft.com) kev: $350 will buy 64MB of RAM in 32-meg SIMM modules I'll give my Okie to any man who cuts his nuts off and puts them in a blender. hehehe you guys are too funny stm: hehehehe sm:haha... Nug: want $350? Hawk, here, wants to spend $350 on the box for CtCW so why would you need 65 megabytes of ram im fine with 32 id rather have a Chase the Chuck Box ; ) Let me run down to Kinkos for a sec. :) Nug here has a CtCW box, Hawk <_sdc_> i could get 350 new jaguar games for $350. >:) Hawk: somehow I think the RAM is more useful than the box In six months, 128 megs will be mandatory. nug: LOL nug: Do you really? Cool! It's increasing exponentially. hawk: why do you refuse to answer questions such as "how many FBE packs *did* you buy?" hawk: why do you refuse to answer questions such as "how many FBE packs *did* you buy?" And I'm offering a mint, working, remote control Atari 2700 for $1000 Hawk: especially since when people in general see it they don't consider it anything special...now if it was Elvis' underwear I could see it sorry saint ive been getting pelted didnt notice * InfoGoon counts his pennies. Yeah, well I've got 2 boxes. One is a production proto that has slightly different artwork. tvb: i'm glad i don't have $1000 to spend on that. i'd only end up taking it apart and probably wrecking it. :) Nug: Dammit you're gonna sell it to hawK? I TOLD you I wanted it! :) Nug: i'll never forgive U Hmm... how much were FBE sets? and how many games were in them? I wonder if that .60 a piece by the case (O'shea?) is a better deal now... epp: hehehe. I'll take S-K's apart and tell you how it works next time I'm there. :-) I'll even throw in a case of "Beat-em and Eat'ems" with the 2700 :) Rubber: you don't need to buy by the case anymore Yeah, well I dunno. I bet hawk can give me more cash. Remember when you promised me that Custers Revenge 2 proto and you gave it away? So there. rubbertoe: I bought Solaris and Gravitar by the case from O'shea. Two packs of six for $4.80 each. whoa... neat... rub: 7800 w/40 games for $69 I'd pay $5 for one copy of each of those. kev: coolio...see how compatible them sticks are with the regular old remote control 2600 sticks. :) epp: AFAIK they're identical. (they look to be, anyways) I guess my reasoning for selling off rare ones... I always get the feeling someone will find a truckload of them somewhere and lose their value.. * Fygar notes that the 2700 sticks are lamer than the 5200 ones! kev: really? thought the 2700 sticks had built-in paddle function too. like, I got a few carts from riff when they were considered rare by most... midnight mutants and fatal run or something now they are common as shit pretty much epp: hmm... they might've.. I admit I didn't look very closely. :-) * saintmick notes that hawk *still* hasn't answered the FBE question! Rubber: not that common, I don't have 'em :) * DrDemento notices the same thing Hawk: how many FBE packs did you buy? what question saint ? I thought Hawk said he was just starting collecting. I'm confused... RubbeR: that's what I said I told you guys that Hawk9 is gormadoc, an antique dealer and general specular. He bought 5 new Crazy Climbers for $1500 and paid $350 for Rubbertoe's CtCW. hawk: why do you refuse to answer questions such as "how many FBE packs *did* you buy?" Hawk: how many FBE packs did you buy? Eppy: They hurt your hands real bad after about 10 min of play.... I think I am lagged now * Fygar has logs where hawk stated how many FBE's he bought :) Rubber: at which Hawk only laughed at hawk: why do you refuse to answer questions such as "how many FBE packs *did* you buy?" hawk: why do you refuse to answer questions such as "how many FBE packs *did* you buy?" epp: I know exactly what set-up they used... and it would be quite easy to make the paddles remote-control, also hawk: how many FBE packs did you buy? Hawk: now many FBE packs did you buy? ohhh sorry like 110 ; ) Hawk: How many FBE packs did you buy? * Fygar also knows how many 7800 Tank Commands Hawk has fyg: and how many was that? x*$69 LOL holy shamoly 110? Yeah buying 110 FBE packs is for fun, mm-hmm renny had the tank commands :) FUN FUN FUN $7590 on FBE packs... hmm... 110? bloody hell, you can start a damn store with that * InfoGoon is the Froggo King! How dare anyone else have Froggos?? * Fygar is laughing up a storm.. good job gorm.. right before O'shea came into existence :) yeha you belive i bought 110 ?? FBE's ? I got two shrinked Froggo games. :-p You realize that Hawk9's going to remove his mask and reveal that he's the guy who bought Orange Ranger merc: hahaha no doubt * kevtris got a shrunk Froggo from merc. :-) Doh! And then is gonna pull back his mask to reveal his true identity is...MICHAEL...J...NOVAK It's still shrunk, too. ;-) drd: LOL!!! * _sdc_ has one of merc's many froggos too. =) I think I got a Tank Command from merc... not sure though... Then Novak will remove the mask to reveal he's really... I gotta check my SW list.. kev: did you step on it? :) afk * InfoGoon throws froggos to everyone! Charles Manson, escaped from Federal Prison * _sdc_ throws 'em back! rub: nope, you won that one on AW for $25. * Eppy has a fistful of infogoon froggos too. :) say LOL orange ranger i remmber that wasnt me thought i only collect mint boxed games :P fyg: no, I just threw it in a box with all my other boxed games. :-) infofroggogoon nO, HE'S REALLY nOLAN bUSHNELL CREATOR OF aTaRiE! Hawk: mint boxed games are fun? anybody want my current titles in my shrinkwrapped collection? (make offers) hehe fyg: I checked out the ROM image and concluded that it wasn't *worth* opening. :-) * Fygar is going to retrieve the log with gormadoc. from last april * DrDemento eats all the mints, then sticks CtCW into the box and says, "Look! A mint boxed CtCW!" yeah they are i love the cover art remminds me when i used to go to stores and buy them when i was a kid <_sdc_> kev: for some reason, don't ask me why, i opened my froggo karate...:P i also have a crap cart to play for each shrinked game sdc: hahaha! I found that cart here locally. :-) Hawk: oh so you have two <_sdc_> kev: joann got it at arton's superstore... Hawk: two CtCW's, and two Waterworlds? two games ? Hawk: two Cubicolors? one loose to play and one shrinked? two alligator peoples? :D Hawk9: Since the 2700 didn't excite you, how about some "Beat'em and Eat'em" carts??? Mint, shrinkwrapped, by the case. if you mean do i have a collection copy and a playing copy for each game the answer is yes Eppy: hehehe one shrinked, the other not hawk: Why don't you just buy a Bankzilla off of me, then you don't have to play your carts at all? You can play them all on my unit without the carts. what is FBE? An Atari game, obvoiously... which one? kev: you need to make a box and shrinkwrap it before he'll buy it <|tsr> kev: ok, you're selling bankzillas now? :) * Fygar doesn't see Alex's name on the registered cubicolor list
