I went to the flea yesterday and normally i don't find anything spectacular, soemtimes a cart or 2.
Yesterday i went to flea again and finally found some cool stuff for a good price.
Normally i look for NES and SEGA but this dude had so much that i had to take my time and check all the boxes he had around his stand.
I bought some pirates and loose games, complete SEGA and NES when i saw the Videopac games and found a Backgammon (in nice shape!).
I know these are pretty hard to obtain so i picked it up with another game that looked in good state.
Also stumbled upon a Game&watch game Oil Panic and some manuals for the Gameboy plus 1 nicely kept F1-Race complete.
I never see G&W games here at my flea so i knew i had to buy this one.
He had some PSX games in there also and bought a few FF games, complete and all in tact, also a weird NFR Yoshi cd.
As i was looking closer into the sellers stuff i stumbled upon some ColecoVision carts and some manual/ posters.
I saw that 2 had a NFR sticker on the back, also bought some normal loose carts.
I never actually seen these but some others might have, tell me more about them if you have any info on these NFR carts.
Checking more and more i found a weird cart with slots in it, check the pictures please, can anyone tell me what this is.
I honestly have no idea what this thing does, hopefully someone here might know.
All together i paid 30 euro for the lot, some of the stuff is up for grabs in the sale thread.

Those would definatly be coleco "prototypes" a nice find.

the 4 slot thing looks like a multi cart loader kinda like a mini m82 for the nes.

Thank you for the information, i haven't opened them up yet to see the board, the label might get damaged. I thought they were plain demo carts for in store use.

The slot thing got me confused, a NES cart doesn't fit and all other cosole carts don't fit in (Fami, SNES, SMS, Genesis, N64).

Protos don't have printed labels. They probably are demo carts.

This is what a Vic-20 multi cartridge board looks like:

I'm not sure if that's what you have, it may still be a Vic-20 device, just made by a different company than the one that made this board.
Anyway, you got a great deal!

Also, are you going to be selling that Yoshi Story soundtrack? :)

The Colecovision caretrdges are from the long defunct CBS video game club.

Like those old record and CD clubs in the 80's and early 90's. You get the first several for a penny, then they jack up the price, or send you crap you didn't want....

If I remember, those game clubs only lasted for about 2-3 years in the early 80's. Around the time the market came tumbling down

This is an interesting find. I've never seen those Epyx CV games like Jumpman Jr and Gateway to Apshai in CBS cases before. I'm guessing that this might have been a post-crash release (say 1985?)

I'm wondering if that multi-cart device might be for the TI Home Computer. The cartridge slots look about the right size, and there were a couple of them on the market.

Those Colecovision games aren't US released, they're British. Coleco marketed their stuff in the UK through CBS. Looks like they're PAL demo carts, or magazine review carts. Since all the games look to be European, that makes the most sense. I've actually got a CBS branded copy of Mousetrap for the Intellivision, but it's SECAM.

Ah - I didn't happen to notice these were all PAL games...
Then I noticed the Videopac games.

Then the Mega Drive...

It's Oil Panic.

Ok, i dunno if i want to keep it. Have you got any indication on rarity or price if iŽd sell it?
