Games you had as a kid you haven't got in your collection again

For me there is only 1, Super Ferrari by rainbow vision (enduro clone), can't seem to find it anywhere. Over here in Australia the rainbow vision titles were quite popular because they were so cheap back in the day.

Based on my memory, these are the games I had when I was a kid. My family couldn't afford alot of games back then so some of these were bought from the discount bin at KB Toys. I remember I had wanted Star Raiders for over a year, and I got it one year on Christmas. I played that game so much!

 

Here is the list (from memory) of games I had when I was a kid:

 

• Fantastic Voyage
• Space Jockey
• Commando Raid
• air-sea Battle
• Combat (Tank)
• Yar's Revenge
• Star Raiders
• Astroblast
• Dark Cavern
• Pele's Soccer
• Trick shot
• Spider Man (free from cereal box)
• Space combat (Space War)

By 2012, I had managed to obtain (from eBay) all of these except for Spider Man. Then, @2014, emotion clouded my judgment and I sold them. o_O

All except Star Raiders - I still have that, boxed, with key pad.

Of that list, I have managed to buy back - Yars' Revenge (w/ box) and Space War (w/box), Astroblast, Combat and Dark Cavern. My intention is to eventually gain a boxed collection of those games I had as a kid, as well as selected other collections. For example, I am currently working on a boxed Atari Force game collection, which has taken a very long time due to unemployment getting in the way

I have other games, but none from when I was a kid.

Anyways, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. \\//,

Missile control by video gems. I had this as a kid, loved it, but cant find it anywhere.

[StanJr]

Can you believe Codebreaker is the only game from my original collection I have not recovered. What an odd one.

[Eltigro]

Off hand, there was Starmaster, Yars' Revenge, and River Raid. Nothing, too rare or fancy, but some I haven't gotten yet.

I reacquired all of my childhood games by the late 90's, only to eventually sell/trade off stuff years later that I no longer play. Games like Atari Video Cube, RealSports Baseball, Outlaw (sold it shortly after the awesome Gunfight was released) and SQ: Earthworld and Fireworld. No longer care to keep games or peripherals in my collection that never see use.

Amazingly, none. Managed to keep everything 2600, NES, and CoCo from childhood thanks to my parents having a big basement and saving everything until I was on my own.

 

Later in life I aquired a Neo-Geo AES and a decent number of games. But sold the lot back in 2011 or so when I needed some cash, and also bought an MVS. Kinda regret that decision now.

 

Sadly now it is nearing the time I should think about shrinking down the whole collection.

I got this recently, it's pretty uncommon now.

Yeah it's like basic programming, sort of common but you hardly see it around.

[Noah98]

Only one left is Mr. Do!

 

Never see this one in any of the local shops...

[Jinks]

None. My childhood setup is still here. Never sold anything to do with videogames ever. Probably never will..if I had 5 of something or 25 of one thing it stays that way. What if there is a vcs apocalypse?

Never thought of that did you?

[jefffulton]

I have all of my 2600 games (and more), except the original SuperCharger, but I can play those on the Harmony.

[Skylark68]

It's not that hard of a game to find, but out of my original collection that I've had since childhood the only that completely quit working was Pitfall II. Still haven't replaced it.

[Pac-Guy 26]

Well, considering I'm 13 and my first experience with Atari games was the Flashback 2, there are a lot of games that I will never get (Adventure 2, Quadrun, Wizard, and Saboteur, just to name a few).
