found a loose genesis star control for $3, and beany bopper and human cannonball complete for $5 at the flea market today. the beany bopper and human cannonball had the same red $1.99 stickers and "1X" written in greasepencil on the back as these games that i got at goodwill last week, so i'm thinking that mr. flea market guy discovered them before i did. i also got a complete lost luggage at the same goodwill a few days after my initial find, so that's 10 complete 2600 games (well, 9 games and touch pad) in a little over a week...

thank you for sharing from your collection. the incomplete version of Sweat is available on the Stella Gets a New Brain CD collection. tempest has some more information here on his website.

i apologize if this should be in or has been coverered in another thread. i was going through some boxed 2600 games and pulled this out, which i hadn't thought about for a while. does anyone else have this '87 box variation? don't know why they would go through the trouble to replace the original pac-man image, not to mention embracing the off-center aesthetic...

last hour bump!

my CPUWIZ moment...
are all the absolute boxes oversized as well?
still need to find mean 18 and alien brigade.

today's very nice 2600 find, thanks to goodwill.
all complete:
frogs and flies-shrinkwrapped, opened at bottom
space attack-shrinkwrapped, opened at top
astroblast-shrinkwrapped, opened at top
lock 'n' chase
threshold
spike's peak/ghost manor-the shrinkwrap is open at the bottom, but the box itself doesn't look like it's been opened.
$1.99 each
boxed video touch pad (did this release come with instructions or a star raiders overlay?)-$2.99.
most of the games have little slips of paper tucked inside with scores and notes written on them-apparently, lock 'n' chase works best with the wico controller.
oddly, the frogs and flies manual is folded in a very different way than usual, but there are no creases to suggest that it was ever folded the standard M network way...

it was originally programmed by sunrise, but never released by them. later on, it was picked up and released by telegames.

the rip the bottom left corner goes down the front edge of the box; other than that, nothing significant outside of normal age wear. i've added this picture to the auction. thanks for the looks and the wishes!

the ol' couple-of-hours-left bump...

got this yesterday at a thrift in west hollywood. first i had to remove the real old batteries and clean the contacts w/ baking soda, then i had to open the tower up and get the motor unstuck. but now, i have a fully functioning game with all of the pieces included.
$10.

prices include shipping within the united states. i prefer paypal but will also take money orders. thanks for looking!

boy, am i glad i ordered this and the telegames release of quest for quintana roo from the radio shack down the street when i did...

sometime after i had bought 1 each of their available games when they were still $.80 each, i got a notification from them that they had the 7800 version of fatal run in stock, which was not part of their initial selection. i never got another notification from them about them offering other, more obscure games.

i was happy winning this auction for what i assumed would be a loose cartridge. i was really nicely surprised when i received this:
(never asked about the auction picture...
)also ended up with the manuals for frogger II and star wars: TAG in this auction. but sadly, not the crazy climber manual.
and nice accidental waterworld snag!

the sweet atari 7800 package i received today
in Auction Central
Posted
i ended up getting a second chance offer on this auction, and quickly accepted it. i put in a bid not really thinking i was going to get it; i thought it was going to really spike at the end. it's a quirky little package-the pete rose baseball, water ski and title match manuals are photocopies, but i have those already so that's alright. the rampage is in nice cosmetic shape, and meltdown's end label was put on upside-down!
the seller also included a nice little handwritten letter mentioning that this was the last system he bought after he started collecting in 1982, how atari screwed up the marketing of the 7800, and what his favorite games were.
these are all doubles, and i only need mean 18 to finish off my US commercial 7800 collection, so anything (well, maybe not tank command
) is negotiable...
