Wanted Fountain Games

[Duval]

Hi. New here

I'm looking to finish off the collection, needing the games below
2. Grand Prix
10. Code Breaker
20. Head On
21. Draughts
28. ??
32. Backgammon
34. Sea Wolf
And of course 16. Hobby module

I dont mind if they are Radofin or Acetronic games, but complete if possible. Happy to swap/pay for them but being a console collector on a vintage computer forum I maybe of no help with trades though I do have a few Foutain games.

Fountain consoles can be picked up for anything from $1 upto $300 for the rare ones

Good luck finding the Hobby Module , it took me flipp'n years to get one, rarer than rocking horse do-do

[Duval]

Ron, did you end up getting it in NZ or abroad. Just out of interest

One day I saw a fountain console with boxed game collection on TM, in the photo I could (only just) make out the corner of a hobby module box sticking out,
so I grabbed it

I remember they sold the Hobby Module in New Zealand, it has a cassette tape port for loading and saving.

[Here's an interesting factoid:] the fountain console has no RAM chips only 43 bytes of RAM build into the video processor.

Thanks for the info. I was guessing that hobby module would set me back a bit if I find it at all. So generally a Fountain game would cost $10 complete what would you say a fair price would be for it (I do understand and been that person that would pay an arm and a leg for a game just because I wanted it but emotions aside)

[Duval]

Sorry, and it did come out with fountain packaging? Or was it acetronic...?

The box is labelled Radofin

You can't run a Hobby Module on an Acetronic 1292 the PSU is inadequate, it requires a 1392 console.

Cheers for that. I was hoping it was radofin ill hit up the uk ebay for a while and see what i find.

16. Hobby Module
21. Draughts
28. ??
32. Backgammon
34. Sea Wolf 16. Hobby module

I thought Sea Wolf was never released?

Hi,
Yes your right, No 34 Sea Wolf and No 28 Bowling both made the Radofin catalogue but never went into production.
Also the UK version of the Hobby Module cartridge actually came with its own power supply unit so you could use it on a 1292 console.
Anybody out there know how much a Hobby Module is realistically worth now as I was recently contacted by a collector who said name your price.

[maceyl]

Hi, is there anyone out there who would bid on an item on trademe & send over to the UK? Im good for the money & would pay straight away via PayPal or whatever platform you prefer. The item is....A rare Fountain games console with 4 games starting at $95.

I collect these old games & would love to add this one to my collection.

Kind regards
