Atari 2600 on Antiques Roadshow

[bcprs1]

I don't know if it was a repeat show, but they just featured the 2600 on the Antiques Roadshow. Dan Elias showed us how bad he was a Pac-man before they went into the history of Atari. On the table, they had Chase the chuckwagon, and in outstanding condition: Tooth Protectors, Swordquest Waterworld and Quadrun. Overall, his prices and evaluation were very accurate on the games, but he said the system goes for $100-$200 which is way off.

Run to recap, he listed common games in boxes for $5-$10, games like TP and SQWW for a few hundred and Quadrun for $500-$1000. I was a little nervous he might overestimate the prices (which they tend to do on the Roadshow). I can only hope this doesn't raise the prices on ebay :-(

One good thing he added was the games in bad condition are not worth much (he showed a game without a label)

I missed that one. Did anyone catch that? On VCR I hope? Can you digitize them and put it on the internet somewhere so we could download and watch them.

I'm pretty sure this was a repeat... it's been mentioned before (The other thread has a URL with some pictures... I'm too lazy to provide a link to that thread though )
