  1. The only reason I responded to this post is because I saw it come through in an email
  2. Just for the naysayers... The story behind my question was completely innocent. Although I grew up in the 70s I never knew about these. Wasn't a big video game kid (although I did own intellevision). My wife and I were out yard saleing a couple years ago and we saw a sign for a yard sale that lead us back to an old barn. The older gentlemen was having a "barn sale". We walked in, but it was mostly tools and tractor equipment etc. we almost left, but decided to look around a little since we were already there. In the back was a plastic bag in what seemed to be a pile of junk. I opened the back and recognized the atari cartridges in there (the pic I posted from June 29 was everything I found in the bag.), but didn't know what everything else was. As a matter of fact I thought the cassettes were audio stories like I used to have on record when I was a kid - like spiderman, pacman, etc. The old man told me I could have the bag for $5. I had just sold two restaurants and was planning on opening a "retro cafe" in which several "retro" items would be displayed on the walls. So I bought the bag with the intention of displaying the cartridges. The cafe never got opened (yet) and so the bag just sat in my bedroom until a few months ago a friend was over and I showed it to him. He didn't have any idea what the cassettes were either. When we began to do some research on them, I found that I might have struck a "diamond in the rough". I took them to a game shop in charlotte nc who verified and explained to me what they were. I'm not a gamer so I didn't have any use or interest in them so I found a fair value and sold the lot for about 70% of fair value just so I could put a little cash in my pocket and get rid of them quickly. If this is something you are into, then you probably would have loved this lot (pictured from June 29). Geez, when I asked the question a couple months ago, I was just asking because I was really neive about all this. But the person that bought them is very happy and I was happy to have some cash and a really cool story about a good find.
  3. Selling my 2600 Starpath Supercharger cartridge adapter plus 9 of the cassette games including Official Frogger, Survival Island, Sword of Saros
  4. Sweet. Thanks for taking your time. I'm looking to sell my collection. Do you know anybody who is looking to buy these? Of course the first three listed are the most rare and valuable. Survival Island Sword of Saros Frogger Plus the starcharger system Plus 6 other of the starpath cassettes (none of which are duplicated Plus about 20 cartridges from later games.
  5. Ebay - yes I have.By the way...I found a pic of Rabbit Transit with the number on top of the cassette. As you can see in the pic, the third number on mine in the pic is #4 while the third number on the other one is #8. Not to mention mine does not have the 017 at the beginning. Interesting...I wonder what mine could possibly be. I will have to find someone with and Atari system and plug it in to find out I guess.
  6. That's what I thought too, but I didn't know what the 017 was at the beginning of the number, because mine doesn't have those numbers. I picked up a whole plastic bag full of old Atari games for $5 from a dude who was selling a bunch of stuff out of an old barn in the middle of nowhere. I just happened to see a sign on the side of the road and drove way back and went through his dirty ol barn and found the bag. The bag not only had about 20 of the later atari games in it, but it also included the supercharcharger system along with nine of the cassettes. All of them are in NM condition by themselves (no boxes or covers - except on phaser control). Escape from the mindmaster Killer satellites Communists mutants from space Dragon Stomper Phaser patrol Rabbit Transit (missing A side sticker) and get this...Frogger, Survival Island and Sword of Saros I will try to post pic.
  7. Any suggestions? Im trying to find out which cassette this is I came across a 2600 Starpath Supercharger cassette that is missing the A side sticker. Its a white cassette and silver screws that has a number on the top in blue ink. The number is: 7148311. See pics
