Noah98 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I just hit 100 unique (not counting doubles) atari 2600 cartridges! (Actually 104.) I've been picking them up here and there for $1 a piece and just having fun. I still haven't made a dent in my top 10 wish list, but I'm just enjoying picking up what I can. I'm sure many members here have far more than that but it's cool to see who else reached the milestone. Sign here if you are in the 100 cart club and list the last 2600 game you got. Last game that I picked up = Winter Games 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevnaguy Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 135 for me 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 552 for me, assuming my database is up to date.(I'm kind of cheating though, I have a lot of label variations.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertJets Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I hit 100 (actually 102 unique) a month ago. I picked up a bunch of loose carts at the time so I'll say Gyruss was the one that put me over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimefighter Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I'm well over 100. Carts for cheap at MGC helps... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah98 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 552 for me, assuming my database is up to date. (I'm kind of cheating though, I have a lot of label variations.) Impressive! How many unique (non variants) carts out of the 552? For example, for mine I excluded Target Fun since I already counted Air and Sea Battle.

fiddlepaddle Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 368 (maybe a couple more), most recent "Wabbit". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrogoober Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 120, last was moonsweeper along with 2 keypads for synthcart:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I'm at 820. I don't count label variations with the same name from the same manufacturer. For example I wouldn't count the Combat text label and Combat picture label as two carts (although I do keep both variations) but I would count Tank Plus from Sears as a separate cart. I count Asteroids from Atari and Asteroids from Sears as two titles also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Impressive! How many unique (non variants) carts out of the 552? For example, for mine I excluded Target Fun since I already counted Air and Sea Battle. A quick count says only around 350, not counting Sears and Atari Corp. re-releases. (I didn't realize I had that many label and cart variations!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 277 unique games. I'm not big on collecting label variations and re-releases, though I've ended up with a few here and there. I don't know what number 100 was, but the last game I got was Pengo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I'm at 335 unique carts. I got Garfield and Tax Avoiders last. (I know, Garfield isn't a real game, but still...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I'm at 440 myself on the 2600. I think the last new cart I picked up was Glib. Out of curiosity, does anyone have a specific count on the number of carts total for the 2600? I saw someone posting above with 820 but based on my database that's just about every cart ever made. Of course I'm not counting anything released outside the US or homebrews as I don't collect either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krslam Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) 784 if I count all the label variants, foreign releases, hacks and homebrews. About 430 if I just limit it to unique, original US releases. It's been years since I added anything, so can't remember the most recent find.

+cvga Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I was counting a bunch of homebrews. I also count each unique Xonox combination as one cart (even if I have the single ender - which I also count). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah98 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 I think homebrews should count as long as they are on carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 My database says 164. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) I think I have 140 or so 2600 games not including doubles or variations. lots of 25 dollar and a couple 50-300 dollar games.. more into 7800 stuff in the last couple years.

kb9snl Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 147 at this point, not counting duplicates. (Dupes not pictured) Most recent = Marble Craze, my first homebrew purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian R. Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Around 250 unique carts. I made a conscious effort to avoid duplicates. Label variations never interested me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertJets Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I would consider the Sears Telegames variants as unique. But I would not count label variants, where you can get really nit picky, as unique -- but those are kind of fun to find. I never knew that Atari Corp released stuff on the old picture labels for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald_Bull_jr Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I have 9 at the moment. Back in my heyday, though, I had around 400-600, including all my extras. Here they are: And some manuals: This neat little fellow runs the maze in search of PEZ, when wound-up: (Sorry for the flash....I'm trying to improve, but it can be tricky with ape hands and a crappy camera.)

high voltage Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 So what about for example Q Bert Parker Bros version and Q Bert Atari version (red box), count as one or count as two? How about Stargate and Defender II? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRV Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I think I'm at over 100, most from the same local store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
