50 weeks later I finally found a few games!

I started walking to the Salvation Army on my lunch hour once a week about a year ago in the hopes I'd find some old games and though none of them are rare I got 8 5200 games: Joust, Kangaroo, Super Breakout, Space Invaders, Defender, Football, and Pac-Man. Boxed with instructions, though they look like they went through World War 3, I got them for $1 each and my struggle has finally paid off.

 

I figured someone must have beat me to the rarer games but the lady said she had just put them out yesterday. I guess the original owner only was interested in Atari in it's early days and unfortunately for me wasn't still buying new games closer to the video game crash.....thus, no rare games. I guess it's sort of neat to embellish and make up a story to fit my find of the year (gasp! That's it???).

sorry, for the record, the 8th game was Realsports Baseball!

midnight, i got lucky once in a thrift shop. i nearly knocked some guy over to get it . Crazy CLimber 1.00 i thought i died. ( if i stayed around for that biker to get up i bet i woudl be hehe). but the 20% off sale helped bring the cost down to .80 cents. got change back from a Buck. thats the only find though i have ever had. that and a boxed 4 port 5200 with the games boxed and 2 MINT new 5200 controlers with the metal plastic still on it for 15.

Yeah, she had the games behind glass and I could only see about half of the titles and the others were more hidden. So as I'm standing there sweating it out waiting for her to help me my mind is just going a 100 mph thinking all the possibilities that they could be...only to find out they were all common titles.

 

But I'm still not dissapointed at all with my find. It's that rush that everyone on this message board knows....that's what I was looking for. Though I'd trade them in a second for Crazy Climber!
