How rare is Mario Bros for Atari 2600?

[How rare is Mario Bros for Atari 2600?]

Just look at what people want for a Combat cart on eBay. I see plenty of "<insert common cart name here> Rare" auction titles on eBay.

 

True..........I am stunned at what some people pay for the most common of games.

[How rare is Mario Bros for Atari 2600?]

Does anyone know how truly "scarce" this game actually is? I was under the impression that is not that rare of a game but the prices I see it going for on Ebay, just for the cart, seem to reflect differently.

[My 2600 bit the dust.]

Hold onto it! Sounds like it is fixable but even if it is too involved, always hold onto it for spare parts. That is how I repaired my Vader! Good luck!

[Atari 2600 joysticks]

I was wondering if there was a way to make the joystick easier to move around, cause they're pretty stiff.

 

 

Thank's a loaded question if I ever saw one

 

 

Guess you have to use it more....................

[Interesting idea on how to build your own "arcade"]

Saw this link and thought with a few modifications how nice an Atari would be instead!!!

[Is it a good Idea to microwave this to be microwaving Atari 2600]

Microwaving Peeps holds a certain fascination.

 

 

[Flea market hit!]

Jr Pac-Man, Porkys and name this game..... all 3 for $2!

 

Great hit for me.... all new additions for my collection....

 

the labels are in really good shape.. i love this!

 

I found the games listed above,but can you believe i still haven't found

pitfall 2 or star wars:the arcade game in the wild!

 

i always get back into the 2600 in the summer.... blame it on tag sales and flea's!

I can't believe you got those for that price. I haven't found any carts at my local flea market. NICE JOB!!!

[It makes me mad!]

I wouldn't care what someone else thinks of something I'm passionate about, especially my Atari. I am fortunate enough to know other people that respect it enough to sit down and put in some gaming hours, sharing games and such. I understand the angst but don't start start ripping Atari shirts off of undeserving people wearing them. Just enjoy your Atari and feel sorry for the peeps that just don't get it.

[Does anyone happen to have a Dig Dug manual they can spare?]

If I have one it's yours. I'll have to go through the manuals, may be a few days if someone finds one sooner.

Tanx AX..........very kind of you!!!!

 

[Carts vs Disc, what do you think?]

Carts definately......................but back them up on discs!!! haha

[Which games have the best music?]

I must agree with the first post! Snoopy goes the extra distance by having an "ending theme". ET, Frogger and Smurfs follow.

[Does anyone happen to have a Dig Dug manual they can spare?]

Just wondering if anyone out there would be willing to part with a spare Dig Dug manual? It surely would be appreciated!!

 

Thanks for any and all help!

[Dumbass people]

All this over a few bucks? Really? If it was something I had been looking for, I think the $3 dollars would've been worth the instant gratification of taking it right home and playing it instead of waiting for it to ship. But hooray for you, you ended up paying what you wanted to pay.

[Has the 2600 peaked?]

I don't think so....... Atari, like any other collectible item, has their ups and downs...... I think with the economy right now, it might be at a lower point but I think it will go back up and even surpass previous highs.

 

I guess I would tend to agree with you about the ups and downs. I also see with the economy people trying to get more for their belongings. I haven't made a decent haul at a thrift store in a while but garage sales are improving and the pawn shops are getting a ton. I tend to feel a little dirty inside after buying from the pawns though. I feel like I stripped someone elses childhood memories to improve mine. Maybe I'm thinking too much.

 

Don't read too much into that. You're giving the Atari a new home with new memories. I hope that helped! Collecting anything fluctuates and the economy definately has alot to do with it. I remember seeing a 2600 on ebay for over $2000 back in 2001.

[How many carts do you own?]

Hi everyone...i'm new to this. I live in Australia. There isn't as much hype about Atari over here as it sounds like in other places. I wanna know who has the biggest collection of 2600 carts. I've been collecting for 4 years now and i own 261 different cart, not including doubles.

 

Welcome to Atariage! Good luck in your quest for games. Once you start it is hard to stop!!

[Atari 2600 Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan finally found? (st:sos)]

Was this game ever released? It sounds like Strategic Operations on steroids. I would love to have this game!

[Which is your favorite 2600 console?]

Big surprise, I love my Vader which I keep in fine working order myself!

[Would anyone be interested in an Atari 2600 Joystick lamp?]

That is awesome! That is friggin' amazing. Everyone should have room in their homes for one or two of those lamps!

[i actually enjoyed E.T]

To this day, I still get excited when the E.T. is running to catch the ship! I also still yell at him when he slips into a pit but not many games stand the test of time like that!!

[Underrated 2600 Games]

Circus Atari

[Idiots Destroy Heavy Sixer and other Atari 2600s]

I wouldn't give these guys any more attention or thought. It's lame and they just want a reaction like they are getting here.

 

WELL SAID!
