  1. I think hero should be a 4.  I've had 3 of them over the years.  Although my first one was hard to find, I think it cost me $10.

     

    How many times must I say this..

     

    Just because ONE person was able to get a good deal on a game and even find a couple doesn't mean that's the over all rarity in all states and areas!

     

    Just because if by some chance I found 20 Quadruns at my local flea market for 3 cents a piece doesn't mean it's not still a rare game it just means I got lucky. :)

     

    Who's trying to say this? A rarity 4 is a ririty 4, is a rarity 4. I've found three in 7 years. "So, what you talkin' bout Willis?" :?:

     

    @CPUWIZ, I'd rate a MIB HERO as a 7. I've found the instructions twice but never found a box yet... There's still hope though. :wink:


  2. Here's some stuff I have available. Everything is loose unless otherwise noted:

    2600

    GI Joe (color label)

    James Bond 007

    Smurfs save the day (screw holes)

    Tomarc the barbarian (mint)

    Gas Hog (PAL)

    Stunt Man

    Tanks but no tanks

    Dishaster (end label tatty)

    Submarine Commander

    Hero

    King Kong (+instructions)

    The Earth Dies screaming

    Raquetball

    Spy hunter (mint, very nice label!)

     

    Colecovision

    Miner 2049'er

    Mr. Do's Castle

    Congo Bongo

     

    These games below are the one's I am really looking for hardcore :twisted: :

     

    Party Mix

    Rabbit Transit

    Springer

    River Patrol

    Out of Control

    Bachelor Party

    Swordwuest Waterworld

    Chase the Chuckwagon

    Bumper Bash

     

    I have cash to offer besides just my trade page. I am willing to work on a partial trade including cash for any and all of the above games. :wink:


  3. Hey, I don't think that was a bad price at all. I don't think I would have bid on it just because of the really bad picture. I'll offer $90 to any atariage member with a Waterworld for sale in good condition. It's the last Atari brand game I need.


  4. Ok, I know I'm leaving out titles here but these are the NTSC 2600 games I believe were sold in Canada but never saw sale in the US. Please feel free to add to the list or disagree. :)

     

    Obelix- Only found in Canada

    Mangia- Also only found in Canada

     

    Here's where things get uncertain...

     

    Bumper bash- This was supose to be available from a company called Bondwell but I doubt it ever was. I'm going with a Canadian only release here as well.

    Compumate- I'm talking about the spectravideo one. Anyone ever see this thing in the states?

    All four Bomb releases- These only pop up in Canada too. They even have a sticker that says "qc passed" or something like that.

     

    That's all, for now. :wink:


  5. I think I need exactly 47 NTSC carts (not counting the 12 Sears games I need) to complete what I consider a 'complete' US collection. Every cart I need is a rarity 6 or higher. :| I think my budget is getting in the way too. :( I've only spent over $100 on three different carts in my 2600 collection. But lately, it's just getting too rich for me. I can't spend $400 on a cart that doesn't even have a game on it. (color bar generator) :roll: Even though some of the titles I need were only available in Canada, most US collectors consider them to be US releases if they are findable in NTSC format. Which, BTW, I don't really agree with. :? I don't really understand this. :? I was also trying to get at least one box from every company for a while but, that is getting to be expensive as well. One very important aspect of my collection I like to mention is that I own ~360 instructions of the ~450 carts in my collection. :D


  6. I am an Activision junkie. I have all the Activision titles in my collection as well as the PAL titles liscensed from Absolute. I'm in as an Activision phreak! My favorite are the Avtivision instructions though.

  7. I know of about 6 other collectors of various classic video games in my city. Cincinoyti (Tony) and my good friend Bill come to mind. There is also Scott, Tom, Jim, Patrick (who is an INTV nut), and there are a couple others I've seen in the wild at various fleas and thrifts and chatted with but I do not know thier names.


  8. Here's my input:

    I bought my cosmic commuter from another collector about four years ago. I couldn't find one on ebay back then. I really do think it is correct as a rarity five.

     

    As for Subteranea, I've found two loose copies over the course of seven years. Neither was from ebay and I overpaid for one of them. I think the rarity is correct at a 6.

     

    I still don't own a waterworld...
