Copy or the real deal? I say copy.

I think that it is an Adam's House, but I dont really know. (just opinion)

The same guy sold the same game a couple of weeks ago. It went for over $100. I noticed too that he sells all the rare games and prototypes, like Sector Alpha, Boulder Dash, Amazing Bumpman, Yolks on you, Video Hustler, Escape from the Mindmaster, M*A*S*H, Fall Guy and Moon Patrol. Check out his previous auctions

The carts look too clean and new. I'd bet they are repros.

Well he has very few negative remarks and has sold just about every "Rare" colecovision cart made. But it's hard to believe that he has had 2 copies of Meteroic Shower for sale unless they were the Adams House versions. But on another note maybe he dosen't know about the repros? You be the judge.

They are definitely reproduction carts. I noticed most of the "really rare" carts had printed up intstruction manuals, and it you look at some of the game labels (ie: Mash) you will see they are just screenshots of the title screen. Must have ran the rom in an emulator, took a snapshot of the title, and printed the label.

I guess that guy's also the scavenger type who tries to snag many copies of the latest homebrews (see how many of NewColeco's and John Dondzilla's games are there... but no copy of Ms. Space Fury yet) in order to make a quick buck.

[zektor]

The thing that really ticks me off is that people can STILL get John Dondzilla's carts for $20 each. Sometimes I see his carts on ebay go for twice that. Kind of makes you want to contact the bidders of these auctions and let them know they are getting ripped off by a money hungry ebayer.

yes that is most definetely a reproduction of meteoric shower... i WOULD like to add, however, that an authentic bit corp circuit board has been pulled out of a fake looking case in the past.... a close up view of the cart connectors will most certainly answer whether or not it is authentic.
any further questions could be definitively answered by opening the case.

all those carts of rare games are reproductions from adams house and/or telegames.

amazing bumpman and bouler dash were originally issued by telegames, and those cartridges appear to be normal.

the ebay colecovision community seems to be uninformed when it comes to reproductions of rare carts.
