BassGuitari Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 About a half-dozen, give or take. Add one if you count Tank Plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigO Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Had around 20 until I traded them in for AtariAge store credit. Now I have 2 or 3...(and Space Rocks ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehguy Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 One. How many do I need? ALL of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Not exactly sure... 20-30? Not one picture label though Mostly Atari text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlepaddle Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I think I still have about 10 left (including several of the end-label-fell-off variation); this is one game that it seems nobody ever picks up and says "Hey! I need this!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torr Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 2 or 3... One picture label and one or two text labels. Asteroids was the game I had a bunch of... every time someone gave me their old collection back in the day there was a copy of Asteroids amongst them! I also have four Star Raiders... still had to get a Touch Pad off eBay though! No one seemed to keep theirs and even mine got lost somewhere through life.

20ohm20 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I'm down to about 10-12 loose copies, mostly of the "01 combat" text variety and two copies of Tank Plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I killed 15 of them today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Combat is funny because I always knew about it.. but NEVER had it growing up. I bought Sears and had Target Fun. Now I guess I have a few.. who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarian7 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I have over 350 different games but I don't know if I have a combat among them. I think I may have never added one to the collection because it was so common and I thought I already had one. I traded in a bunch for atariage store credit also with many other commons.

English Invader Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I have one copy which is one more than I need. It was a game I bought when I was just getting into the 2600 and it was one of the titles that came up a lot. I think every system (certainly consoles) have games that are so common that you can pick up five/six copies without even trying. Combat would be a great game if it had a one player mode. For the time being, I'll have to wait until the AI in this video becomes commercially available: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I just checked my spreadsheets and I have 26 Combats (across the different variations). Not surprisingly my most common followed closely by 23 Space Invaders. I really need to start getting rid of my extra stuff instead of just stashing it away!!!

krslam Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 35 by my spreadsheet, and 6 Tank Plus. Seems like a lot, but I've probably got nearly that many 2600s so when I get around to selling them, each console will come with a copy. FWIW, I've also got 32 Asteroids, 23 Donkey Kong, 41 Pac-mans, and 51 Space Invaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krslam Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Can I ask a "stupid" question ... Sure! What is it? If you want to know why, it's because I've built my collection largely by buying in bulk: other collectors leaving the hobby, estate sales, store closings and the like. That's allowed me to get lots of things, including a fair number of rarities, for pennies on the dollar but it does result in piles of extra commons, too.
