Scooterb23 Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 I got 2 2600 games Zaxxon SSSnake and 4 7800 games Ballblazer (red end label) Barnyard Blaster Fight Night Xenophobe Paid a total of $3 for the lot. I'm just curious, I've never played any of hese before, I've heard that some of them are pretty bad, but how bad are they??? Are there any worth playing? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 Ballblazer and Xenophobe are sweet. And that particular end label of Blazer is a rarer sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 Play BallBlazer, get a friend and play BallBlazer!! And runner up Xenophobe Both fun games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcprs1 Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 You did alright. Zaxxon and SSSnake are pretty common. So are Ballblazer and Barnyard Blaster. Fight Night is a little less common and Xenophobe would be a deal by itself for $3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fretwobbler Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 Did you get a lightgun with Barnyard? That would be a good deal! ADam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 I'll have a partner to play Ballblazer with as soon as I get my joypads. My 7800 sticks are wearing out. And of course, repairing my one 2600 will help, so I can have both systems up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videotwit Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 quote: Originally posted by Secret Quest: Zaxxon and SSSnake are pretty common. Disagree. While Zaxxon truely is common, I think Sssnake deserves more credit for rarity than it is given. I've only seen 1 in the wild in almost 10 years of collecting. Could be a regional issue, but I wouldn't classify it as "common" in any case. On the flip side, however, it isn't worth a ton of money. I'd pay $3 just for Sssnake any time, though. Good find!

black dog Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 I remember back in the day, my friend and I use to save our allowance to buy atari games. One trip out he was unfortunate enough to buy SSSnake with the money he had saved. We took it home tried playing it for about 15 minutes and then threw it in a corner of the room. That was about 20 years ago, I haven't played it since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooterb23 Posted February 3, 2002 Author Share Posted February 3, 2002 Sorry it took so long for me to reply, just got a new computer...no lightgun with Barnyard Blaster, and I don't have friends (I live in the middle of an old cornfield...closet person I know is 15 miles away). Thanks for the responses!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 You got all those games for just $3 bucks, that's great. I don't know how much Xenophobe is for the 7800, but for the 2600 its not cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterb23 Posted February 3, 2002 Author Share Posted February 3, 2002 It seems like I'm starting a Xenophobe collection, just picked one up for the NES for $2 yesterday... Sounds like I did pretty good, about time I got a break... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattG/Snyper2099 Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 haha, thought this was funny... i have two copies of xenophobe for the 7800 (one sealed, one loose) and one for the 2600 AND i live in Ohio too! kudos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Now MattG's in on it! Okay, here's the plan, I'll take the Northern half, Matt, you take the middle, Scooter, you get the bottom. Then we'll all go over it again to get any we missed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snider-man Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 I live in Mansfield, Ohio - near the dead-center of the state - and have never found a Xenophobe in the wilds. Now I know why. You greedy, greedy bastards. Sniderman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterb23 Posted February 5, 2002 Author Share Posted February 5, 2002 Actually, I live closer to central Ohio, so I'll take that, and Matt, in Cincy can take the southern part...of course, I found both of my Xenophobe's within 30 minutes of Cincinnati, so I think I may be infringing on Matt's turf as it is...

King Atari Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Wow, I didn't know there were that many Ohioans here. Okay, now all we need is Kyle in on this, and we'll be ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
