  2. Wow! I like just looking at the photos! There's stuff I've never heard of before. All the Sears stuff brings back memories as the 2600 system I had as a kid (and still have) was a Tele-Games. Good luck in your sales, they'll be no lack of interest and willing buyers on this site!


  3. I was wondering if anyone could indentify this console I played in my youth. My parents bought it for me at a yardsale in the early 1980s (1981 or 1982), so it probably came out in the 1970s. It was an Odyssey that had three built-in games (it did not use cartridges). It had three versions of pong built-in. The first two were two-player games and I think the third was a one-player game where the player hit the bowl against a wall. It was white with two knobs (right on the console, there were no separate "paddles") that controlled the players. I only played it a short time and then my folks finally bought me a 2600, so that was the end of the Odyssey.


  4. Hi:

     

    I'm fairly new here, so I'm not sure if this question has been asked before: What was your greatest find(s) in the wild?

     

    Game-wise, my best find was Stargunner (with a color label) at a thrift store. I had never seen a Telesys game before, so I wasn't sure if it would work in my 2600, but I thought, for a $1,

    what the heck. Turned out to be a super game to play. Only later did I find out it was a pretty rare game as well.

     

    My best find was a manual I discovered in Fort Bragg, where I was visiting for a family reunion. I decided to check out a thrift store along the way, and there was a 2600 6-switch there (I only had a 4-switch at the time) with a bunch of games (most common, but some were decent) and manuals. The clerk said I could buy the 2600 and games for $10 and that I could have the manuals for free. I was excited about getting the manuals because you rarely find those at thrift stores. As I was gathering up the manuals, I noticed I was standing on one. It said "Swordquest" but the picture was not familiar. Since I already had Fireworld, I assumed it was Earthworld until I got to the car. You can probably guess what it was....Airworld.

     

    No, just kidding.....Waterworld.


  5. I type my list on my computer and print out a new copy every now

    and then. I use little symbols to indicate whether I have the box,

    manual, or whether a game was part of my original collection I

    had as a kid. I also list its AtariAge rarity rating (in bold type if

    its 5 or higher) and how I rank each game as far as graphics and

    game play. I also arrange the list by company (Activision, Data Age, etc.).

    I need a list because, in my advancing age, I just can't remember

    what I have sometimes.


  6. If you were the one who was excited about getting a 5200 game (I forget its name), but was disappointed in not getting Berserk voice enhanced then, yes, I was the one in the orange shirt.


  7. Hi:

     

    I have never posted here before and the CGE 2002 Expo was the first classic gaming event I've gone to (I was wearing an orange Atari shirt). I just had to say that this show was the most organized and well-run event of any kind I've seen. All the speeches (the ones I saw anyway) started when they were supposed to and ended when they were supposed to. Everyone was polite and respectful. I had an awesome time! Bravo to everyone who put this expo together!
