Received this from Steve (ataritoobin) from the States today:
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-mVscUGX36BU/TkQbznfNJCI/AAAAAAAAEF8/-SnckEo7y94/s912/Pac%252520csomagb.JPG)
Thanks a lot Steve, I really appreciate it.
More at Eurocade. ;)
-
Let me guess.... It's no Bowlatronic. Nor a Coleco Zaxxon....
-
No, it's a real classic, but I couldn't tell more until Eurocade. ;)
-
More real classic than those 2..... :shock:
The top 25 op classiness in no particular order is roughly:
Bambino - Race'N'Chase
Bambino - UFO Master Blaster Station
Bandai - Airport Panic *
Bandai - FL Burger Time
Bandai - Gun Professional
Coleco - Bowlatronic
Entex - Space Invader 2
Entex - Super Cobra
Epoch - Astro Thunder 7
Gakken - Runaway *
Gakken - Dig Dug
Gakken - Frogger
Gakken - Puck Monster
Mattel - Auto Race *
Mattel - Gravity
Nintendo - Ball *
Nintendo - Donkey Kong JR *
Nintendo - Donkey Kong *
Onko - Super Space Jack
Parker Brothers - Q*Bert
Tomy - 3D Stereo Skyfighters
Tomy - Mr. DO *
Tomy - Pac Man
Tomy - Slimline Speedway *
Rosy - Space Galaxy
The ones with a star fit in that envelope.... So we are down to 8 options ;D
-
If it is from the states, then it only can be
Auto Race
Ball
Mr. DO
Slimline Speedway
as for the other 4 it is totally nuts to get them from the USA.
-
Mr. DO and Ball can be scrapped from the list too.
6.94$ basic shipping would be too risky for these 2.
I guess it is the classic of all that is classic: Auto Race, the first ever!
It makes total sense as it can be found for 10-20$ in the USA and fits in an envelope. Sorry to spoil the fun :wink:
-
You are very far. :D
As you are a pro handheld collector, you have different thoughts about "classics", it is "just" a handheld version of a classic arcade game. ;)
-
I hope you did´nt receive the parcel like that!....TORN!
-
Oops, then it''s getting a hard one....
It must be LCD, it wasn''t the Mr. DO, so I think we must limit to the really tiny ones.
Options that are arcade classics in handheld:
Bandai - Zaxxon, but this one is easy to get in Europe, great game.
Bandai - Burgertime (LCD), was not sold in the US, so would be weird.
Mattel - Burgertime: essentially the same game, but then the US version. I have it: very cool
Bandai - Pengo: only a half-baked arcade conversion. The VFD Pengo is real Pengo, the LCD one is a fun game based on Pengo. Not classic enough.
Halion - Q*Bert: classic game, but very unknown and not so classic company, even though it shares the common Bandai handheld with ministick shape.
Bandai - Frisky Tom: nice classic conversion, but not very classic in the sense that it is well known as classic....
One of countless Pac-Man versions
One of many Super Cobra versions: not likely, they were common in the EU
Best guess: Mattel Burger Time
-
Close to perfection. ;D
I received the package in perfect condition, but I had to test it with a battery, so I had to open it like that! ;D
-
Ah ok, i was a bit worried there!
-
And, what was the game???
-
Béla brought his entire collection (I think)!!!!! Sadly we didn't really find a good spot for it. At one moment I asked to play DK and he showed ALL of them....I played for a minute or two and then.....I had to do some duties as organizer of Eurocade again ;D
Totally not complaining because I managed to play a good number of games on the big machines and I even played Béla's C64 !
-
And, what was the game???
I guess Etienne can tell you. ;)
-
I sure can !
but untill i make my report of eurocade it will remain a Mystery package ;) ::)
Oh boy, i did read this topic, but i never had a clue of what your intentions where.
I can only say that it is highly appriciated what you did !, i did not see it comming !
even when i saw the package in real life, i did not recall the package from this post, so it was a real surprise.
Well done !
Thanks Again! you rock ! :spaceace:
-
Belike has a very nice colection of handhelds :P
I have seen the most of his collection from the box , also the 500 dollar handheld ball
Very nice to meet you in person belika ;)
-
I was totally surprised by this,
Bela brought me a gift, and man, i love it !
This was my first handheld, but in those days we where children, and stuff breaks as you know..
So i asked in Bela's topic (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2785.0) if he maybe has this one and could bring it to eurocade.
He did not have it, but he ordered one for me as a gift in the US :o
Thanks a million Bela, that was so nice of you to do !
and like we always say, pics or it did not happen...
This package looks familiar.. ::)

Yeehhaaaa, after 30 years i play again my very first handheld ! :spaceace:
A true classic in a handheld form!

My son liked it too as you can see..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/pacman/4.jpg)
He likes it so much, that he dont want to let it go :lol:

Did i say thanks already ? ;)
-
Béla rules, he was like the father Christmas of the Eurocade, look what he gave me:

A 1978 100% working Space Invaders handheld, now how cool is that?!?!
THANK YOU BELA!!!! :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
-
Damn it! I totally missed the "Electronic HandHeld" Bela's collection @ Eurocade?! :'(
Too bad it wasn't possible to safety display them (I've just see the explanation by André).
-
Totally surprised! Was it so cheap in the US? These are on Marktplaats every month, ranging from dumbasses asking 100€ to housewives cleaning the attic and asking 8 euro. I got myself an Ectron one. Your's can use some Retr-O-Bright by the way.
-
I'm really happy that you like my little presents and sending my huge thanks to Steve (ataritoobin) to let this happen. :D
Just to make it clear, there was no international shipping possibility for that pacman, Steve bought and arranged the double shipping for us. :spaceace:
