How rare is this C64 peripheral?
« on: August 21, 2009, 05:24:51 PM »
Hi.
 This isn't a subject about Amigas, but close. :)
 I have a boxed speech synthesizer cartridge for commodore 64 computers and i was wondering how rare this is. Is it like ultra rare?
 I haven't decided if i want to sell it. Just asking about its rarity.

 I also have a game cartridge, called "star ranger" and few original games in tapes.

Not at all "rare" around this area. Last one I bought I paid $5.00 for (with all the cables, manual and box in great shape). But - on eBay, who knows what it'll bring....

It was a pretty common Cartridge, thats not to say you can't get a fair amount on ebay and such. Rare is my Vic-20 collection.

I bought a lot of 8 c64's at auction from the military. One of the c64 still had a military training cartridge. It was a FPS simulation like America's Army is today. It apparently needed a hand gun like Nintendo's Duck Hunt to work properly. I would still have it today, if my Grandfather hadn't tossed the whole lot of them, including my full working systems. :(

Here is mention of it. Called MACS http://www.johnlowry.com/johnny/2008/11/26/military-simulator-video-games/

and http://www.thegamergene.com/classic/the-macs-multipurpose-arcade-combat-simulator-for-super-nintendo/

and the military docs on it. http://oai.dtic.mil/oai/oai?verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=html&identifier=ADA217593

Wish I still had it....

They are not very rare... I picked up a boxed C64 speech synthesizer CIB for $12.53 on eBay 6 months back.  You see them pop up every few weeks and they routineley go for between $8-40 depending on how many people are bidding at the time.  The highest I ever saw one go for was $65 in a buy-it-now... the buyer must have been on crack to pay that much.

Honestly, almost nothing for the most sold computer of all times can be considered "rare", except for some weird peipherals produced in a few samples.
