Gojira_Shiro90 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Hello everyone, New member here. So a little back story, I bought a complete in box Atari 2600 from 1978. It came with 13 games. But what peak my interest was that 2 of the games only came in small envelopes with the title and a number next to it, handwritten. And the games inside were just a rom and board, no casing. The gentleman I purchased this from said he used to work next to Atari and employee gave him the games to try. Ill try and post pictures if possible. Kind of curious about them and dont have a lot of knowledge on Atari games or the history. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

Gojira_Shiro90 Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Awesome! Yes, hooked it up yesterday and everything seemed to work as it should! I’m exciting to start the hunt for games! I’m going to try and stay off sites like eBay, etc. and just see what I can find out in the wild. At least for a garage sale season. Thanks again for your time, take care!
