jeffrey Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 I must say that Tucson Arizona must be the rare Atari game capital of the world. Maybe I don't have any compitition out here, but I have sure been lucky. Are these games really that hard to find in the wild? Please share similar stories. -Jeffrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel D. Park Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 Those are some incredible finds. My best rares in the wild find would have probably been, Robin Hood, Tomark the Barbarian, Sir Lancelot, and two other Xonox double enders all from one woman at a flea market in Denver Colorado. At the time I bought them, I didn't even know they were rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 I am curious. Neither one of you mentioned the cost of the games when you purchased them in the wild. Did you have to pay a high price or was the person who was selling it to you not aware of how rare these games are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey Posted December 27, 2001 Author Share Posted December 27, 2001 I paid 2.00 a piece for texas chainsaw, halloween and spikes peak. Pitfall 2 was 1.00. No one around here must know the value and rarity of these games. To them they are just more atari games. We know better, don't we. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Destructo Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 Yes, yes...those scary, run-down shops on the scary, run-down side of town are very dangerous. Stay away! They've got nothing at all you'd be interested in, anyway. *rubs hands in glee while boarding cross-town bus* p.s. If you think I'm kidding...when I used to collect handhelds, I picked up the following in *one* trip to *one* of the thrift stores in the projects I used to frequent (none of my friends would ever go: too scared) Speak & Spell Speak & Math Milton Bradley Microvision w/Pinball cartridge Mattel Football I Mattel Football II Tiger CopyCat (Simon clone) all with battery covers. Whoot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
