JamesDana Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Hello all, As I said in my first forum post, I am a 15 yearold from Maine and I want to start collecting Atari games and other classic consoles/games. At the moment, I have 3 Atari 2600 consoles, and just a few games for them (Common games such as Combat, Pitfall!, Missile Command, etc.). My question is where should I start my collection? I need all the tips and tricks I can get from all of you collectors! Thanks for sharing your recommendations with me! - James Edited October 20, 2015 by JamesDana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Activision is a definite must in collecting/owning/playing for the 2600. And they make some of the best games for the system and is myfavorite third party company here are my reccomendations. Kaboom! Chopper Command River Raid Seaquest Beamrider Keystone Kapers H.E.R.O.
