Osmeroid Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Allright, I'll be honest, I'm gonna brag here. I came across this terrific find in a local junk store on Saturday. Kangaroo (silver) Centipede (silver) Millipede Crossbow Road Runner Midnight Magic (box rather tatty) Off The Wall RS Volleyball RS Soccer Xenophobe I saw the Centipede box thru the shop window quite by accident and decided that I really should investigate. The guy in the store sold them to me for £2 each - Joy! I just needed to share this. Anyone else have any luck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Gaaaaaaaaah! Wild cart finds as near as Southsea!! Well done but I'm SO jealous Nothing at all here! EVER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmeroid Posted February 4, 2002 Author Share Posted February 4, 2002 Seriously, check out the boot sale in Chichester. You don't find 'em every week but if you go during the summer I think you'll find the odd few there. It's a bit further but Burseldon (nr Southampton) is also a place of occaisional Atari bliss.

Fretwobbler Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Is that xenophobe boxed!?!?!? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmeroid Posted February 4, 2002 Author Share Posted February 4, 2002 All of the games were boxed with manuals - except for Road Runner (no manual). Xenophobe is in tip-top condition. Mainly they were just dusty (all clean now!) It's been almost 10 months since I last came across anything outside of eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there si still a good selection of speccy trickling through the cheapo auctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam How about we meet you and drop down to Div 1? I've watched too many seasons to feel comfortable yet - can we please just play Nuneaton Girls' School under 12's 2nd team until the end of the season? I might just think we stand a chance then!

That young lady has a viscous left foot and an attitude far too cavalier toward other players health for my liking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
