/vr/ - Retro Games

These threads are like blue balls for me. I started a museum with my collection.... But I did keep a few things. Most importantly, I've kept my crown jewel: 50+ bare EPROMs representing 12 different games. 10 are Colecovision games, 3 of which are unreleased, 7 of which are either almost complete, or molested with debuggers.

1 set of ROMS was an unreleased ADAM game, Dragon's Lair.

The final set of ROMS was the holy grail: Cabbage Patch Kids Adventures in the Park for Atari 2600. Never before seen. Never released. There were 12 revisions of the game from start to finish, each on its own bare EPROM.

So, if you want to find good stuff, go to flea markets. That's where I found these EPROMS, for $27. They were hand labeled and all were 100% intact when dumped, despite haters.

Get yee to a flea. The best stuff is always in the booths that have little to no videogame equipment. These folks tend to have things and have no idea what they are. I found these in 2008 at the Laney College Flea in Oakland CA. It's the single best flea ever for videogame stuff.

Mark MacDonald, from EGM, had his storage locker repossessed in like 2010, and it all showed up at this flea. Including the Elemental Gear Bolt gold gun. I didn't get any of that stuff though.
