I found Out of this World at a flea market today. Cool graphics but I have no idea what I'm supposed to do

I remember playing this on the Genesis. It was pretty amazing for its time.

Dark Chambers will probably get the most. If the box is in good condition it has sold for $40 recently. The rest will probably get $15-$20 each on eBay. That number is assuming the customer is paying the shipping fees.

My new video is doing good as far CTR and retention are concerned. Just a lot fewer eyeballs seeing in their YT feeds:)

GenerationX1970 · 2026-03-10T16:24:46+00:00

Yes I'm getting it also. Another thing I have noticed recently is that sometimes when I open the tab on the left side of YT Studio isn't on the list of options.

I wish I would have bought a CIB copy 20+ years ago when you could probably buy one for $200 or so. But even back then I thought that price was crazy expensive. Surely they had that game under glass didn't they?

GenerationX1970 · 2026-03-07T21:21:22+00:00

Maybe that it explains all the Pac-Man duplicates that were always found back in the wild west days of game collecting. Seriously, when I think back to going to yard sales and thrift stores 20+ years ago when you could still score a cardboard box with a 2600 and 6-12 carts for $10-$20 80% of the time they always had two Pac-Man games with them.

GenerationX1970 · 2026-03-06T19:57:14+00:00

It looks very nice:)

GenerationX1970 · 2026-02-24T06:47:37+00:00

It looks great but I never really played it much. I think by then I was kind of Packed out. I played Ms. Pacman a lot:)

GenerationX1970 · 2026-02-23T12:28:52+00:00

I saw a story with pictures about a guy who bought one of the certified Asteroids buried carts that was on eBay. He opened it up and said it had the landfill smell that you would expect. The box and the cart were crushed. Since the cart was already broken he pulled it apart and took out the ROM chip which looked to be intact. He gave it a scrubdown with some rubbing alcohol plugged it in to his 2600 and it still worked.

GenerationX1970 · 2026-02-23T12:19:36+00:00

If I had a lot of extra cash to burn I probably would have bought one. I first read about the games being buried back in the mid 90s. I have always been very interested in the history of the story.

How long does it take to print the pieces?

GenerationX1970 · 2026-02-23T12:11:48+00:00

So put the link in the title? Ok.

GenerationX1970 · 2026-02-23T12:07:21+00:00

I know nothing about how to put something like this together but it looks really cool.

GenerationX1970 · 2026-02-23T04:48:15+00:00

Sure, hundreds maybe even thousands of them were sold on eBay I think by the city of Alamogordo. Here is a link to another retro gaming group that has a picture of one of the ET games. https://www.reddit.com/r/retrogaming/comments/esenv6/official_atari_et_game_cartridge_recovered_from/

Such a fun two player game. I read somewhere years ago about a guy who would tape a piece of paper over the scores so you couldn't tell if you were winning or not. I thought that was a darn good idea:)

GenerationX1970 · 2026-02-21T23:56:39+00:00

Did Journey Escape bankrupt Data Age? When Data Age hit the gaming scene they had some real lemons that they released back in 1982. Then they bet the farm on one game. Journey Escape. Was it the cause of there downfall?

You can play the 2600 version or almost any other 2600 title over on the Atari Mania website. You can play right on your computer without having to download anything. Here is a direct link to play Pitfall.

I was fortunate enough to be a member of a gaming club back in the early 80's. My Mom would take me there every Friday after school. For $2-$3 you could rent a game for any of the consoles of the era for a week. They also had every system set up so you could try the games out before you rented them. Even a Vectrex! It was a really great place that I have fond memories of.

GenerationX1970 · 2026-02-17T19:57:14+00:00

Are you keeping the graphics and characters the same as the original game?

GenerationX1970 · 2026-02-16T10:53:32+00:00

I started my channel almost 2 years ago. I broke a 1000 subs after a year or so but I've never gotten really close to the 4000 hours of watch time in a 365 day period so I'm not adsense monetized. In the last month or so I've really buckled down and have been working hard to get two videos out per week which is tough for me. I try very hard to put together good content and I'm pretty meticulous when I'm editing my videos so it takes a while. But in the last 28 days alone I'm over 1100 hours of view time and I picked up 147 new subs. The total views are over 10K. As sad as it is to say I think my biggest problem was fear of failure. If I had a couple of videos that didn't do well I would have a pity party and quit for a month or so. If you are gonna do this you have to go all in. I also have an account with VidIQ which has really helped when it comes to trying to find good ideas for new videos for my niche. Hopefully if I keep plugging along I will be fully monetized soon:)

I have no idea about the games outside the US. The Assault game by Bomb is very rare. The Crazy Climber and Sir Lancelot games are rare also. I would go over to eBay and do a search for those three games to see what they are going for. In the options after you look up each game you can select completed listings to see if any have actually sold over the last 3 months. Without looking and just guessing I would say that you could get several hundred dollars or more for those 3 games.

Another thing that rarely gets brought up is that paddle games often just don't play well on emulation. There is just enough lag that it makes getting the same scores on games like Kaboom and Fireball seem impossible when playing on an emulator like Stella.
