Finally found something new in the wild

[Finally found something new in the wild]

I blame eBay for turning videogame cartridges into commodities to be bought and sold

 

i blame the marketing executives at magnavox. and every single video game manufacturer since.

[Where to buy carts in Los Angeles]

Is Game Dude still in business? They're in North Hollywood on Sherman Way(?) if I remember correctly. I think my 32X AC adaptor still has their foil sticker on it with their address if you need more detail than that. I used to live, like 2 miles from them in 2000. All Atari 2600 and 7800 games were $3. The punks there got a good chuckle out of the name "Revenge of the Beefsteak Tomatoes" when I went to purchase it.

very much so. they have a steady supply of $3 2600 games, pretty much all common. every now and then you can get lucky though, like when i found a silver gravitar and the black jack picture label there.

 

oh, and your package is going out today a.j.

[Compiling lists of Atari, Corp. (re-release) label variants]

i have an 1987 canyon bomber that is the same as your 1986 listing. btw, is your 1986 blackjack listing referring to the same version that is spelled out "black jack"?

[round green sticker on cart labels?]

this is a copy of armor ambush i found a while ago...

 

 

i seem to have a vague memory of reading something to the effect that a green sticker may signify something particular about the cart. whether or not that's true, or i'm just wishfully thinking, i really don't know. i just know i remembered the green sticker thing when i saw the cart, which is why i picked it up. anyone familiar with what i'm talking about, or am i just (likely) completely off track? thanks.

 

edit: sorry, forgot to add, as far as i could tell, the game looked and played exactly the same.

[2600 cart giveaway!- all gone away!]

as part of the never-ending quest to try to shed layers of stuff, the following loose 2600 games are up for grabs: demons to diamonds, human cannonball and space war. all three have picture labels in excellent condition. the only catch is that i'd like to limit it to 1 cart per customer for now; if there's leftovers after a couple of days then we'll figure it out. just pm me your address and what cart you want. thanks for lookin'.

 

edit: all have been claimed! thanks!

[How Hard Is It To Find 2600 Stuff In Your Area?]

Here in L.A., you cannot find anything with the word Atari in it, except for those Flashback machines (those joysticks really suck!!!!)...man, they really have gone down!!!!!!!!!!!!

eh, l.a. is a big place my friend. within the last month and 1/2 or so, i found these at a swap meet in los feliz:

 

 

 

these at a thrift store in west hollywood (all shrinkwrapped):

 

 

 

and this i just found today out in pomona:

 

 

 

it all ebbs and flows, you just have to keep on keeping an eye out.

[mastertype and math encounter]

i apologize for the "how rare is this" question, but does anyone know if mastertype by scarborough systems and math encounter by hsu software are particularly obscure or rare? i haven't been able to dig up too much info about them on the web. thanks in advance.

[Genesis Pirate Cart (2 in 1) Question]

i have the pageantsoft version on tetris on my 9 in 1 cart, basically the one on this page, except mine has a different cart shape and i sadly don't have the box.

 

 

 

the cart itself is not really useful on a nomad, because it needs the reset switch to select the games, so you only end up being able to play columns. but it works fine on my model 1. oh, and that's the reflection of my window in the status box in the 2nd pic.
