[A seller on Amazon offering mint condition 2600 "Vader" for only $67.99]

I'm asking for this topic to be locked because this should have been posted in the Marketplace forum. This is not an offer of mine, but from someone else on Amazon that I thought people here would be interested in.

[Need advice whether to mod Heavy Sixer!]

I'm completely against modding a H6'er. A junior I'd be fine with but don't touch big sexy!

 

Amen! Well said...LOL

The games would make or break a good deal from the buyer POV, the fact the titles aren't listed seems to indicate they're not anything significant.

You're right about the games: they may be common titles that are easy to find, nothing rare. But how often can you find a mint condition Vader for that price?

If anyone is interested in getting a 2600 Vader system, check out this deal from Amazon seller ATGoTech:

 

The following is the seller's description:

 

"AMAZING BUNDLE! MINT CONDITION VADER SYSTEM LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE IN THE PICTURE. ALSO INCLUDES 2 MINT CONDITION ORIGINAL ATARI CONTROLLERS, 10 RANDOM GAMES, POWER ADAPTER AND MODERN AV ADAPTER. THIS IS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO START PLAYING TODAY! YOU WILL NOT FIND A NICER ATARI OUT THERE. THIS THING LOOKS LIKE NEW STILL. FASTEST SHIPPING! THANKS!"

 

The price: $67.99 + $3.96 shipping. For a mint condition system that comes with all of that, it's a steal IMHO.

Oh dear God!

 

It's official: the movie studios have scraped the bottom of the barrel. What's next? Is Jason Statham going to star in an action movie version of Connect Four? Christ almighty!

[Need advice whether to mod Heavy Sixer!]

It wouldn't be wise to mod a Heavy Sixer considering how rare they are. If I got my hands on a working Heavy Sixer, I wouldn't mod it no matter what.

Mod a Heavy Sixer?!

[The Pac Man conspiracy... well, an observation]

Wikipedia has a full article on the 2600/VCS version of Pac-Man and it's worth looking at if you want a better idea of how and why the game was such a critical disappointment.

[Just bought my first 2600. Question?]

The RF adapter is your best bet as far as cost and simplicity goes. You should only get the composite or S video if you're good at soldering. Or go with what The Retroist said and have it sent to someone who specializes in modding 2600's and have that person do it for you.

Why not try Amazon or eBay? I'm sure you can find one there for a reasonable amount of $

At a time when the board game Battleship is being made into a stupid movie, anything is possible...

 

 

I don't know which is worse: that movie or the movie version of "21 Jumpstreet". Can't the movie studios come up with better ideas than turning board games and 80's TV shows into movies?

[Games you didn't like then but do now?]

I'll admit that I didn't like Frogger at first, but it became one of my favorites.

[Question: The worst 2600 games other than Pac-Man or E.T.]

Never said you were defending them, but usually, whenever someone badmouths E.T. around here, the thread gets flooded with posters defending it as some sort of "misunderstood gem".

 

I see. Why on earth would anyone say that game is good anyway? I had the misfortune of playing that game on my uncle's VCS and it gave me nightmares!

[Another page of funny fake 2600 games.]

Duke Nukem Forever for Atari 2600? LMFAO...as if that game wasn't bad enough!

Imagine if William Shatner narrated the Missile Command story...

Nice logo...

To have that many carts in your collection shows what a hardcore fan you are. Way to go, Zwackery!

[Why I should not buy a 7800 to play mostly 2600?]

Careful: when Atari released the 7800 slim, they stripped out 2600 backward compatibility, only to later start selling the 2600 games digitally for ten bucks apiece on the Atari Store.

 

LMAO...I get the joke.

[Question: The worst 2600 games other than Pac-Man or E.T.]

Uh-oh. Here comes the E.T. defenders...

 

Just to clarify, I'm not defending E.T. nor am I defending Pac-Man. I asked people to named bad Atari 2600 games other than E.T. and Pac-Man because those two games are usually the first ones that come to mind.

[Question: The worst 2600 games other than Pac-Man or E.T.]

In your opinion, what do you think was the worst game ever made for the Atari 2600 other than Pac-Man and E.T.?

[NES Lot. 1 console + 73 games]

Again, I don't do eBay anymore. Amazon is much better for someone like me...but good luck with the sale, Stitch. I know someone's gonna bid a lot for it, especially with all of the games that come with it. I predict the winning bid will be between $250 to $500+.

[A new king.....]

Wow...way to go, Mark!

[NES Lot. 1 console + 73 games]

For $50 that's a steal! Too bad you put it on eBay. I'm not saying eBay sucks, but let's just say I had a really bad experience with a seller there that cost me several hundred bucks and made me swear off eBay altogether.
