Not to “Shipwreck” your topic, but you might as well purchase a lot that comes with games and try to sell the pieces separately. The visor and stand (sometimes with the medallion) tend to run $30 bucks or more apiece, when you can purchase a whole “lot” for about $99, and sell back 50% to get your money back, more or less.

Food for Thought.

To be honest, there’s one at my local game store that looks just like that for $30 bucks lol

I really thought my wife would like Wario Land or Bound High, but she wasn’t digging the “3D”. lol.

Anything can work as long as it touchs the correct surface areas of the battery and is soldered in correctly, so the connectivity isn’t broken.

The spring is to keep the battery tight, but allow “wiggle” room as well.

It’s already gone or someone bought it.

I just realized that I posted about this before lol

Not that this helps, but I actually emailed the company that was supposed to originally have created Dragon Hopper in hopes of getting some kind of response, information or anything like that. The company, Intelligent Systems emailed me back, saying “officially” that due to various reasons, the company has no information to give out. “Unofficially” the clerk or helpdesk technician, or whatever he/she was, said that they do have areas in which old or beta games are stored, but she/he were unable to validate anything. That due to the age of the time period I emailed about, not many people are left or stayed with the company in a development perspective.

I know this doesn’t help, but I thought I’d show you my “Eagle Scout” try.

thanks

I bid on it as well. But I don’t think the future wife would like 6 VB’s coming to our door while I’m planning a wedding lol.

I’d be interested.

i just came back here, I’ll send you $$$ for that BH we talked about.

thanks

Pinball might be more fun in the long run, boxer is fun with great graphics, but it’s not enjoyable when you get beat to hell a lot lol.

thanks for the update.

wynd

awesome man, thanks.

GOOGLE uncletusk, they are $75 dollars there.

My theory is Patrick Stewart is holding all the dragon hopper carts in a fortress surrounded by warrior Predators. I’m mixing genres, but you know what I’m getting at.

I actually emailed the company behind the game a few times, and every time I got a new answer. One answer was basically that everyone that worked there in the mid 90s was gone or promoted. The VB development software is still present that the company created, but any prototypes were destroyed or held in storage. I also heard that the company moved multiple times, would they have destroyed them?

Just my little research.

Wynd

It’s kinda been done to death here and other web sites. I’d look around for a lot of options. My opinions…

1-Bound High
2-Space Squash
3-Wario Land
4-Vertical Force
5-Mario Clash
6-Jack Bros
7-Teleroboxer
8-Galatic Pinball
9-Blox/Blox2
10-SD Gundam

My way – approx 20-40 minutes

Desolder all pins (sucking up all the solder)on both sides

Then use a 45 watt iron to heat up each pin, while you slowly slide an xacto knife under each pin, allowing the pin to cool before letting go.

This worked quite well.

Wynd

Awesome, I’d be interested in them definitely.

Great work in the VB community.

Wynd

Thanks for the ideas. It just seems I can’t get under the metal pins with an xacto knife and it’s REALLY irritating. I don’t quite know how the heat gun would work, because you could only do one side at a time unless you do it on it’s side.

I’ll keep working at it. Mindstorm what material are your PCB’s made out of? It’s unusual 🙂

thanks

Wynd

if you’ve read around, people have found connectors, however they have to slightly be modified. So that might be helpful.

Wynd

I can’t donate $200 dollars, but I’ll donate something. Congrats on the purchase, sorry for the loss of the collection.
