Any interest in these? I know Ax is out of the game for a while and another member suggested I poll for interest again. I'd prefer to help you do the mod yourself as it really is very easy, but I could be persuaded to build one of these to order.

Sold items removed and some new loose carts added. Some items are not pictured.

Anyone want to trade Steam codes? I've got Steam codes for Limbo and Fez which I'd like to trade for other games, but are worth about $5 each If you are just getting into Steam, I can also offer you a used Xbox (360) wired controller which is very useful to play these games. I've got an MCC 216 which is a small device that runs various classic computers the best implementation is the C64. $80 SOLD I've got a brand new sealed copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. $10 Inty want list: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/221860-intellivision-want-list/?view=getnewpost Buy some stuff from my other threads and get these items for less http://atariage.com/forums/topic/221290-common-2600-games-fs/ http://atariage.com/forums/topic/221271-intellivision-games-fs/

Had a great deal with Brian, buying a small pile of carts!

I'm hunting these Inty titles: Congo Bongo Donkey Kong Jr Kool Aid Man Mountain Madness Skiing Mud Buggies River Raid Slap Shot Super Pro Hockey Spiker Star Wars ESB Super Cobra Triple Challenge Turbo Tutankamen I prefer loose copies

Added 1 game

I could possibly help with the loose cart copy in this little bottleneck. Perhaps we could work a 3 way deal. Or Save2600 could let me know how much he wants for his loose version and use the money to buy the full boxed copy?

FYI Homebrews and Supercharger games are excluded from this ranking. When she does the calculations, she removes those votes.

I found your auction - may bid, but very interested in what it will sell for. It's a "fun to watch" auction. I wish you'd offered up a few of the individual items here before the auction.

Crossed out sold items.

Hey retrogamer64. I think you got off to a rough start here on AA. I'm not sure why there was so much noobrage around your original post, but you've found a great AA member who is offering what you are looking for at a nice price. You're basically getting the games here for $1 each and a $30 2600. That is a price that I will tell anyone to go for if they are getting into 2600 collecting. Send Brian a PM (private message) and let him know you are interested. If you can only afford a certain amount, let him know and he'll likely be able to adjust what is included to get into your budget.

I feel like I just bought a 15 year old car after never having a car before. Also, no one I know owns a car in this analogy. It seems to drive ok, but I'm going to have a nice bit of research to do to improve it. Kind of exciting really. Joining PinSide post-haste (means quickly)

I got it tonight! First pin . . . . check Yeah I know, but welcome to the world of pinball collection. I've basically been shopping for the right pin at the right price for almost 3 years. This one ended up being the right one for me. The guy dropped the price to $1450 when I didn't call him back on Saturday. Normally that would be a bad sign, but I think he just needed the money. I got it home and it seems to play great. There are some lights out, but I can't really tell what sensors might be out. I don't think the guy really knew what was wrong with it or even really played it that much. The center ramp cover has a small tear in it which doesn't look so awesome. I might need to dot at it with some mod podge or something to stop it from tearing anymore. Anyway, I'm off on my journey of pin ownership.

It sure would be nice to be able to put my 5200 in a box and put it away easily. If anyone has an extra box for the 5200, I'm interested in acquiring it. I don't care if its damaged - as long as it structurally still functions as a box and I could potentially stack other stuff on top of it while closed. PM me

Empire Strikes Back has always been in my top 10 2600 games. I recently went through a phase where I gave it a lot of play (again), and I wondered if others have a favorite game mode for this one. I typically play game 13 with the smart bombs and "solid" walkers. I think it adds some realism to have the solid body AT-ATs and the smart bombs keep you moving. I also discovered that I don't hate the b&w version of the game. The snow planet looks cool in black and white and the rainbow effect on the walkers just changes to various stages of gray. Nice discovery. This game also plays great on my upright MAME cabinet. I did a little head to head with Stargate vs. ESB and both games really shine with arcade controls. Anyway - what's your favorite variation?

I don't have a Gamegear. Could we do a deal with my Acti titles for a working GameGear?

These are some of the nicer carts that I held back from Al. I'll probably bundle with a unit or store them if nobody needs them.

Lowered some prices

I also have an Inty II that I'd be willing to part with if there is someone who wants to start collecting for this great console.

Ah - right. FYI that none of mine are the blue label variation

I've got quite a few in my sale thread. Keystone Kapers Megamania Pitfall River Raid Seaquest Sky Jinks http://atariage.com/forums/topic/221290-common-2600-games-fs/ I looked at your swap thread - got any 7800 games in there?

It looked exactly as he described. Kinda beat up cab, working game with some non working "sensors." I don't have any pins, but I think this is probably what I'm looking for. It's a little bit of a project, but will still be fun right away. I can slowly improve it and play it at the same time. Still mulling it over officially.

Ah the NES vs 7800 fight. I think I posted in a thread like this 10 years ago when I first joined AtariAge. tldr: I wish my answer was the 7800 but it's the NES I was exactly the right age to have been a target audience for the NES. In 1985, I turned 9 and the system matured to it's prime as I went through Jr High/MIddle School in the USA. My family already had a Commodore 64 which I absolutely loved, so the NES had some tough competition right from the get go in my little bubble. I first played the NES at a friend's house and remember having fun with different games like Duck Hunt, 1942, Volleyball, and others. We played SMB but I never really liked it. They always knew the secrets and would play for a long time while I just died. First impression was that I thought most NES games were childish and could recognize that the games I played on the C64 were targeted at adults which made me (irrationally) like them more. I don't remember exactly, but I think we must have had game rentals back then because my friends would have new games for a short period of time and I'd go over and play it with them. I discovered Zelda and Bionic Commando this way. Zelda made me want a NES, and I asked my parents to get me the model without SMB/Duck Hunt because it was cheaper and I thought they'd be more likely to go for that. It came with the player's guide which I have since lost From there, I discovered NES games that I loved and some I did not. I borrowed Metroid, and Punch Out. I got the original Tecmo Bowl and pounded the sh!+ out of my NES in what were probably my first experiences with gamerage (fond memory now). Bionic Commando, Ice Hockey, and RC Pro AM were also great and I played them a lot . . . Lolo brings back fond memories. There were bad experiences however. The games were expensive, so I couldn't get many of them - I had to borrow them and there was more than one occasion of games being stolen at school and then traded around. It got a little "Lord of the Flies" for me in 7th grade at one point. I played some games that just weren't really worth the money like Wizards n Warriors, TMNT, and Rygar. I didn't like SMB 2 when it came out because it still seemed childish and stupid to me. Contra was too hard even with the code, and I ended up buying and returning Zelda 2 because it was just too different for me. The console really faded out for me when I got Dragon Warrior. I know people love this game, but I was playing Bard's Tale 2 on my Commodore at the same time, and DW just felt like a joke of a kid's game compared to that. I stopped buying games for the NES and pretty much dropped out of consoles until the PS1. I played the C64 for years after that and transitioned to PC games. I didn't even know the 7800 existed until I found AtariAge. No one had a 7800 that I knew of, and I had never seen one until I got one off of local Craig's List last year. I think about the ways that the NES changed gaming and I love/hate them. I still prefer a joystick and wish someone could have just designed a decent 2 button variation of the CX-40. I don't really like sidescrolling games, but there have been exceptions to that. I don't like that the success of sidescrollers on the NES meant that console gaming would be stuck in that genre for almost 2 gaming generations. However, the NES has had many positive influences on gaming. It moved past the arcade and created a new console experience where players could truly explore and play a game by themselves (or with friends) with rewards that went way beyond high score tables. Even my comment about joysticks is with a grain of salt as pretty much every modern controller revision has built on what the NES did, and I really like the current gen controllers. I often think about how gaming could have been different if Atari had managed to stick around. If the talent that went into creating games for the 2600 could have been used to push an American console forward, I think that the games that would have been created would have been more appealing than the middle and bottom of the NES library. Even with the criticism that I have put in this thread, I can still recognize that the NES has fabulously amazarific games, and the top end of the library might be better than any other console in history. The 7800 can't say this, and the homebrews (while great) are focused on the arcade market that the NES left distantly in its wake. I WISH that I preferred the 7800, but I don't. I (reluctantly) prefer the NES.

Nice link - thanks

http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/vgm/4302236955.html I talked to the guy on the phone and he seems nice. What should I look for? What should I expect to pay? I don't have much experience owning pinball, but I've been comparing prices for years. This looks like a good price for a game that will actually get played in my house. I don't really mind if there are a few things to fix as a project, but I don't want a whole rebuild - so this fits. How should I transport this - can the legs come of a RFM?
