    This lot is for the completist collector who wants to play all the original Parker Brothers Atari 2600 games that were sold in the US during the '80's.


    Included Games:

    21 unique carts representing EVERY original title Parker Brothers released in the United States. Please review this link to Atarimania for specific titles:

    http://www.atarimania.com/pgelstsoft.awp?system=2&type=G&publisher=25&country=16&licence=4&format=2&original=1&step=25

    ALL of the included carts were acquired by me at retail between December of 1982 and April of 1985 EXCEPT Q*Bert's Qubes which was purchased from a collector.

    Game manuals are included for every title.

    Every cart is NTSC.

    Label conditions are mostly near-mint, though "actiplaque" is present on some, but all are intact with none torn or missing.

    Everything has been tested and works, of course, but if the buyer finds that ANY aspect of this collection is unacceptable upon delivery, I will do whatever is necessary to make it right at my expense.


    Logistics:

    Everything will be packed in one box. The games will be packed in two small boxes within a larger box.

    I will ship anywhere in the world. Insurance is a must.

    Tracking info will be provided once the carrier has the package in hand.


    Price:

    I am asking $425. Shipping is FREE. Payment may be made utilizing whatever method is comfortable for the buyer. First come, first serve.

    Questions are welcome, via this thread or PM. Specific details and/or photos will be happily provided.

    This lot is for the completist collector who wants to play all the original Activision games for the 2600 that were sold in the US during the '80's.

    1. Clean but unmodified 4-switch woodgrain console complete with original Atari power supply and useless antenna switch box (for the sake of authenticity). There is an RCA/COAX adapter so it can be connected directly to any TV with COAX input.
    2. Two standard CX-40 Joysticks
    3. One pair Paddles (for Kaboom!)

    44 unique carts representing EVERY original title Activision released in the United States.

     

    Please review this link to Atarimania for specific titles:

    http://www.atarimania.com/list_games_atari-2600-vcs-p_total-page-step-licence-format-country-publisher-dump-original_44-1-50-4-2-16-3-1-1_2_G.html

    ALL of the included carts were acquired by me at retail between December of 1981 and November of 1989, so they have not been in circulation.

    Game manuals and other pack-in materials (such as the Space Shuttle overlays) are included for every title. I did NOT include ALL the inserted catalogs, but there is ONE of each in the collection, totaling 14.

    Every cart is NTSC.

    Here is a photo of H.E.R.O. in play on the included console:

    Label conditions are, alas, typical for Activision - LOTS of "actiplaque" - and some fading has occurred as well, but all are intact with none torn or missing.

    Everything has been tested TOGETHER and works, of course, but if the buyer finds that ANY aspect of this collection is unacceptable upon delivery, I will do whatever is necessary to make it right at my expense.


    Logistics:

    Everything will be packed in one box. The carts (with matching manuals) will be packed in two small boxes within the large box. Each hardware item will be separately wrapped in bubble. The box measures 15" long by 13" wide by 13" high and weighs approximately 14 pounds.

    I will ship anywhere in the world and via any means chosen by the buyer. Insurance is a must.

    Tracking info will be provided once the chosen carrier has the package in hand.


    Price:

    I am asking $425, and shipping within the U.S. is FREE. Anyone interested in buying who is outside the U.S. should PM me about shipping rates. Payment may be made utilizing whatever method is comfortable for the buyer. First come, first serve.

    Gentlemen, I appreciate your appreciation but it's important for me to publicly acknowledge help I received with this. My standard command line for dumping when using Eckhard Stolberg's software is...

     

    7800ctrl -tTEST STARGUNR.BIN

     

    Even though the other Telesys titles dump fine using this command, Stargunner generated the "unrecognized cartridge type" error.

     

    Omegamatrix advised me to substitute -t264K in order to force the dump using a known format, and what you see is the result. I'm just a grunt; HE'S the brains.

    If anyone has, or knows a source for, NTSC versions of the following PAL ROMs, please post:

     

    Forest

    Motocross

    Panda Chase

    Ski Hunt

    Ski Run

    Walker

    Words-Attack

     

    Otherwise, are there any programming hobbyists out there who would care to do the NTSC conversions? I and the community would be most appreciative.

    Very interesting... were you into the VCS hardcore back then or what? You send away for Chase the Chuckwagon too? Magicard? Music Machine? Air Raid? Kool-Aid Man I bet. That's one we went for. :)

     

    ...or were you mostly into the Atari offerings via your hookup with the club? Just sounds like you were really on top of this stuff back then.

     

    -edit-

     

    Just looked at your profile... you had a good 10+ year head start on some of us. Must've been nice to have had the disposable income back then for such goodies. :)

     

    I didn't get any of the commercial mail-order-only games (like Chuckwagon or Tooth Protectors) because there was no internet then and I didn't know they existed (until 10 years later). However, I DID get MagiCard and Kool Aid Man (and many others) directly from the publishers simply by writing letters (remember those?). Almost every company responded and that's how I built my collection of rarities.

     

    Disposable income? No, I was a young married at the time and had to pace my spending. However, a good third of my collection was gifted over the years by caring family and friends.

     

    Hardcore? Absolutely! Then... and now.

    Thanks. That's exactly the kind of information I'm looking for. I keep hoping that someone will have similar info about games like Quadrun. Some people were buying these games and I hope they are already AtariAge members or are lurking and will become AtariAge members and post what they know.

     

    Okay, here are the games I received direct as an Atari Club member:

     

    Star Raiders 08/83

    Crazy Climber & Atari Video Cube 04/84

    Gravitar (silver) 05/84

    Swordquest WaterWorld & Quadrun 06/84

    I received the following direct from Atari:

     

    BMX Airmaster (TNT box)

    Off the Wall

    Radar Lock

    Road Runner

     

    ...in August of 1990, and...

     

    Ikari Warriors (NTSC)

    Motorodeo (NTSC)

    Sentinel

    Xenophobe

     

    ...in March of 1991.

     

    They were ordered - using an Atari order form - as soon as I was aware they were available. White Water Madness was on that same order form, and I ordered it, but it apparently was never produced.

    I'm a little sad that you have to sell your own games from 30+ years ago sniff sniff

     

    Aw, don't be sad. Everything in this sale is basically a duplicate. I am still fully immersed in the hobby, collecting homebrews as they appear, former vaporware as it is found and reproduced, and I contribute to the community whenever I can. The proceeds from this sale will be spent right here in the AtariAge store, the best place to spend classic video game bucks, in my opinion.

     

    The reason I'm selling here, and not eBay, is so my 30+ year old stuff goes to an AA member, surely the best of homes.

     

    Your concern is appreciated.

     

    Be seeing you...

    This lot is for the collector who actually wants to play all the games, and is as comprehensive a collection of hardware, carts, and documentation as can be found, minus the holy grails.

    1. Clean but unmodified 4-switch Vader console complete with original Atari power supply and useless antenna switch box (for the sake of authenticity). There is an RCA/COAX adapter so it can be connected directly to any TV with COAX input. Manual also included.

    2. Two standard CX-40 Joysticks
    3. Two PAIRS jitter-free Paddles (for Warlords parties)
    4. Two Driving Controllers (for Indy 500)
    5. Two Keyboard Controllers (all Keyboard games included)
    6. One Video Touch Pad (with overlay for Star Raiders)
    7. One Track & Field Controller (game included)
    8. One Kids Controller (ALL Kids games included)
    9. One Trakball (great for Missile Command)
    10. One Light Gun (for Sentinel)

    ...and even - yes EVEN, I say...

    11. One complete set of Remote Control Wireless Joysticks (with two 9v batteries). I tested the range and they work up to 15 feet. Manual included.


    Included Games:

    151 unique carts comprising 128 titles (with 23 label variants) representing EVERY title Atari released that AtariAge ranks from 1 to 7 in its Rarity Guide. Please review this excerpt from the Rarity Guide for specific titles:

     

    AARarityGuide.pdf


    107 of the included carts were acquired by me at retail or directly from Atari between October of 1981 and March of 1991, so they have not been in circulation. The other 44 have been collected since October of 1999 from various sources, mostly dealers online and at conventions. The variants are attributable to having bought whole collections from friends.

    There is at least one game manual for every title (some manual variants are included as well) for a total of 135.

    Every cart is NTSC unless otherwise noted. Asterix, for example, is PAL because the NTSC version does not fall within the 1-7 rarity range. I play PAL games on an old TV that has vertical hold so I've never had qualms about collecting PAL. This photo of Xenophobe in play on the included Vader console shows that TV:

     

    post-118-0-81566300-1510008797_thumb.jpg

    Label conditions are mostly near-mint for the uncirculated carts, though actiplaque does appear on some labels (indicated). Variants could have some label damage, such as the 1987 Stargate cart (holes).

    Though no boxes are included, ALL inserts that came with games ARE included! That means comics, overlays, warranty cards, and any other sundry documentation Atari chose to pack-in. All are stuffed within the manuals, which are packed with their respective carts. I did NOT include ALL the inserted catalogs, but there is ONE of each in the collection, totaling 20. There is also the Atari Log Book, unsoiled.


    Everything has been tested TOGETHER and works, of course, but if the buyer finds that ANY aspect of this collection is unacceptable upon delivery, I will do whatever is necessary to make it right at my expense.


    Logistics:

    The whole mess will be packed in one large box (see photo)...

     

    post-118-0-36445000-1510008772_thumb.jpg


    ...because it IS cheaper than splitting it up into smaller boxes. The games will be packed in a group of small boxes within the large box. Each hardware item will be separately wrapped in bubble. Box dimensions: 31" long X 21" wide X 11" high. It weighs just under 50 pounds.

    I will ship anywhere in the world and via any means chosen by the buyer, but UPS is highly recommended, and insurance is a must. The cost to ship this from the east coast of the US, where I live, to the west coast, for example, will be between $90 and $100 via either US Postal Service or UPS Ground.

    Since I'm not entirely certain this will sell, I have not packed it for shipping yet. Once payment is confirmed please allow a few days for prep. I will provide tracking info once the chosen carrier has the package in hand.


    Price:

    I am asking $400 if payment is made via money order, $412 if via PayPal, plus shipping and insurance. First come, first serve.

    Questions are welcome, via this thread or PM. Specific details and/or photos will be happily provided.
