Feralstorm Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Probably Mr. Do's Castle. I still own the cart from back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfriendly Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Got my hands on the double enders with Spikes Peak on it. Also played most of the games on cassette Dragon Stomper etc. Was a member of The Home Video Game Club. You could rent games for $2 for a whole week! So I played many games that I never actually owned. Sadly when the crash came they closed up shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I had (and still have)... 9's: 8's: 7: 6's: Quadrun and Gravitar were bought through Atari Age magazine. The Tigervision titles were all bought through the Columbia Video Game Club (remember that?). The CommaVid titles were from a discount bin at Kay-Bee. The rest were bought at various other stores. Most probably after the crash. I think Boing! came from Toys 'R' Us. Maybe Frogger II as well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By then I had moved on to the Commodore 64 and was busy buying (or more likely copying) games to play for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ave1 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) I borrowed Up N Down from a friend and played it a lot. I think that's kinda rare. Also I bought Subterranea from KB Toys and loved playing it. Edited November 1, 2017 by ave1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bcombee Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 The rarest cart from my original 80's collection was Tax Avoiders which I bought from a Kay-Bee Toys at Walnut Square Mall in Dalton, Georgia. I ended up getting a bunch of Datasoft Atari 8-bit computer games and books from that place too, as well as an original 70's Dungeons & Dragons players guide (before the AD&D or Basic edition sets). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 My rare ones are on cassette... I bought both Survival Island and Sword of Saros for the Supercharger which were available through the mail from the company...My friend also bought Survival Island. I still remember him bringing over a homemade map for it as we tried (mostly in vain) to solve it...I really liked that game! The games were great, but they simply came as cassettes in cases, with paper instructions. There were no boxes and not even a J-Card cover... Imagine my surprise when I looked them up a couple of years ago on AtariAge and Holy Frickin' Cow! These are R8s!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
