Stan Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Well, it's finally happened. After searching and lots of help from cool people on there, I've finished my Atari collection off with an NTSC Mangia. That's all she wrote! Now I can take the time to play the damn things!

Wickeycolumbus Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) No such thing as a complete 2600 collection, new games and label variations are discovered frequently Congrats on achieving your goal though Edited August 10, 2009 by Wickeycolumbus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hahahaa, you sneakers, yes, you're correct, I've finished what I personally wanted as a collection. I have a number of goodies now.

Stan Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 I focused only on loose carts because they store easier and you can read the labels on most of them. I had no real interest in full games because the boxes need care to keep them and the manuals can all be found online. I have a few manuals, but the only game I have complete is Kaboom! because it's still my favorite. I don't know, I've looked at some other rare games, but there were only a few I decided on nabbing. I'll probably find other stuff I want eventually, there is always that collecting void that forms when you are sitting there wondering what to spend money on.

Stan Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hmmm, I didn't really give Malagai a proper look while reading the manual. Damn, it does sound kind of fun. Son of a bitch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) I'm curious as to how many games are in your complete collection. I'm trying to get all of the NTSC games with a few PAL that were released by NTSC companies. Here is what I have at least a loose copy from each company. These do not include protos and I'm only listing companies with 3 or more games released. 20th Century Fox Absolute Activision short of Fighter Pilot Apollo short of Lochjaw variant label Atari almost (need BMX, Motorodeo, and Quadrun silver) CBS Coleco Data Age Epyx Froggo Imagic M Network Mystique Mythicon Parker Brothers Playaround Sears (only need Cannon Man ) Sega US Games Zimag Phil Edited August 12, 2009 by Philflound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 so does anyone know what exactly a 'complete collection of games legitimately released at US retail' (ergo something you had a chance to buy off a store shelf,) would contain?

Crazy Climber Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hmmm, I didn't really give Malagai a proper look while reading the manual. Damn, it does sound kind of fun. Son of a bitch... Yeah, Malagai is a way fun game. One of the few R9's that is actually fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmountainslim Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 No collection is even nigh finished without RSC! Wp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hmmm, I'd have to count, but off hand I think I only have like 266. I had more but I broke it down into games that are fun to play for me, games that have rarity and hilarity value and that's about it. Definitely not exactly complete or what most collectors would go for, but I was surprised I nabbed that Mangia. Didn't really think that was ever going to happen considering the prices on the thing (supposedly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 So.... no one knows exactly what 2600 titles made it to u.s. ntsc retail even.... no wonder no collection can ever be anything more than gue guesswork or 'whatever you decide' completes your collection.
