Hey, 2600 collectors...


Army Of 2600

Recommended Posts

How much does a CIB Motorodeo go for these days? If not much, probably homebrew is my most valuable.

I bought new sealed copy just yesterday for $18. So...$18. :-D

 

I don't have anything mindblowingly rare (afaik), but I've got quite a few rare-ish items. Most valuable is probably my copy of Princess Rescue, but it's only loose w/ manual so maybe not. Go figure one of the few times I buy a homebrew, Nintendo issues a C&D. Otherwise, I don't know. What's a complete Magicard repro from Sunmark go for these days?

 

My rarest 2600-compatible console is probably my Coleco Gemini. My rarest original cartridges are probably Boing!, Smurfs Save The Day (sans KidVid tapes unfortunately), Stargunner, Ram It, Demolition Herby, and Wall Ball. My rarest controller/accessory, is probably my Triga Command joystick.

 

Geminis usually go for around $30-50 last time I checked, a bit more if there are controllers, y-cables (for the paddle functionality on the dual-purpose controllers), and carts. My R7s and R8s are probably only worth $30 a piece, tops. No clue on the Triga; I've never seen one for sale (apart from the one I bought :P ), but I've never looked either. I know they're rare but I doubt there's any demand for them (they're kinda shitty joysticks, actually). I don't know how many people collect controllers, either, but I feel like that would be the only kind of person who would pay more than a few bucks for a Triga.

I like to call things like this "anomalies." Like the Joust "p" label and Pole Positin'. Cool.

Good old Atari Corp. Typos, misprints, and general weirdness galore! Even beyond the classics like "Pole Positn" and "Raiders Lost Ark," there's stuff like the Breakout reissue with the yellow background, copyright info reading "Atar Corp." [sic], and the '86 edition of Hangman, which breaks ALL the rules of Atari Inc./Corp. label conventions (weird fonts, weird alignments, weird everything...if you didn't know better, you'd think it was a bootleg or something).

I'll keep my eye out for Hangman.

I've been on the lookout for a while, myself. I might have to settle for a repro though (it almost looks like a Hozer cart anyway!). Seems like these hardly ever turn up, and when one finally does surface, there will probably be a bidding war over it.

 

(Note "All rights reseved." :-D )

I actually had that in my first Atari collection from way back

The thing I spent the most money on was my Harmony cartridge, so that's probably it.

Out of 350-ish loose cartridges, I probably have a few games that are worth more than a pittance, but I don't know which ones they are. Panda Dice Puzzle? Atari Video Cube?

 

[Edit]: Oh, wait "valued", not "valuable". My heavy 6'er. Worth? Not much.

Totally read that wrong, too. In that case, if we're going with hardware, definitely the 7800 with s-video mod. How nice 2600 games look on it!

Zellers, boxed and complete. Only together are they whole...

You spent a long time getting those all together and I'm glad to see you still have them looking all bad ass like that and all :) If you ever come across another Inca Gold please LMK as I've not been able to find one still. Box, CIB, whatever. I'll piece it together. Again, sweet ass Zellers set my fellow Canuck.

 

EDIT: You still got that boat load of Zellers label variants too?
