    This weekend's finds

    By DJTekid,

    Well, as some may know, my collection is under major construction, as I just recently started collecting again. This weekend brought some decent finds, for a start. By Sunday night, I had found the following in various places:
     
    R-Type (Sega Master System)
     
    And for 2600:
     
    Popeye
    Super Cobra
    Bowling
    Maze Craze
    Gorf
    Centipede
    Joust
    Grand Prix
     
    Not a bad haul at $1 apiece, especially as this only brings my 2600 library up to 43 cartridges! I found some others, but unfortunately, I had already spent what I had for this week's game search on beer and gas. However, next week there's a Porky's with my name on it!

    Well, this last week has seen the direct deposit of my stimulus check. I had planned to use part of it to buy a rather large Atari 5200 lot, but, alas, Uncle Sam took HALF! With my vehicle needing repairs, I have very little to use for my collection. During a trip to Taylor Town Trade Center, I asked one of the game dealers if he had anything new in, to which he replyed "Yeah, I just brought in a whole Rubbermaid tub full of stuff in!" I was ecstatic, as he charges a flat rate of $2 for 2600 games! I started digging away, through the various Combats, Pac-Mans, E.T.s, Space Invaders, and all the carts that we all wind up with when we first get our 2600 systems. After a few minutes, I noticed a pattern: they were ALL commons! Sure enough, the entire container held nothing but them, hundreds of them! Disappointed, I checked the other dealers and found nothing, returning home defeated once again.
