Cost of First Gen Systems?
sandmountainslim replied to sandmountainslim's topic in Classic Console Discussion
according to my dollar converter 80 bucks in 1975 would be 273.80 in todays dollars -
The fleas in my area are famiclone free havent saw once since before Christmas. Now that I own a Super Joy I would really like to find some multicarts for it for five bucks or so. So it goes

I picked up Rolling Thunder for the NES at a flea mkt this morning for fifty cents and it is awesome I had never played the NES port before but used to drop alot of quarters into the arcade version at Dude's Poolhall back in the late eighties Any of you folks have a soft spot for this one?
-
I hate to go against the grain here but other than the Sonic games I dont really like the Sega all that much, I m not really into sports stuff, but if it makes ya feel any better my SNES is up on the shelf with it too
-
Any ideas on how much the old first generation consoles (Pong , TV Tennis etc.) cost new? I remember when the VCS was over two hundred bucks but no idea how much the older ones went for.
-
Geez this is the most frustrating game I ever played I am right under the dog/cat/monkey thing I am supposed to rescue and those damn cave buzzards or whatnot keep smackin me down! I was hoping to finish it tonite but maybe not

Happy Birthday Shankster You are still a young punk to me as I am 34 Most teens I know HATE the 2600 and talk about the games being too easy ,just goes to prove they never played em Its not just the teens though my wife is 23 and she refuses to play anything older than SNES and will not pick up the rotary phones on my desk or in the kitchen. Go figger.

Welp I finally did it, I havent turned my PS2 on since before Christmas so today I boxed it up and it now rests with the Sega on the top shelf of my closet,it was replaced in my gameroom by a console television with a Sears Pong console hooked to it Now the only systems actually hooked up in my room are VCS, NES and Pong Sports 4. I feel much better now
-
Thanks for the tip It was frustrating as hell to see the bonus items and not be able to pick em up. I also loved the arcade game and will give this one another shot.
-
Yip but I got all these swell games like Lost Luggage with mine and a power supply so we'll call it a draw
-
I bought Bad Dudes for the NES today cuz I remembered it from the arcades and boy was I disappointed! The NES version should be called "Blows a Goat" cuz thats what it does, in the arcade version power ups (colas etc) appear and you just walk up and get em but in this version they appear you walk up and nothing What am I doing wrong here? Theres only two buttons. Oh what did I expect from a game where the president has been kidnapped by ninja anyway? Just some thoughts. Now where is NovaExpress to defend this thing?
-
Geez, Poor old Sandmountainslim thinks he got a steal and someone one ups me Congrats! And yip Steve mine had a power supply too though usually any console I pick up comes without.
-
Well I think I probably got the best Atari deal I have ever gotten today, I stopped in a new thrift shop on my route while working and walked out with a woodgrain four switch console (with one joystick) Pitfall, River Raid, Basketball, Realsports Football, Realsports Baseball, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Bugs, Lost Luggage and Star Ship all for five dollars! Geez my thrifting can only go down from here but who knows?
-
You will like Starmaster I loves that game, loves it ,loves it It does NOT blow goats
-
Ok maybe some of you can give me some info on this thing, I have a console called the Pong Sports 4 it is from Sears telegames and still have the box with it , I know it was made by Atari as it says so on bottom of the console but that is the extent of my knowledge of it, if anyone could tell me more I would appreciate it Oh one more thing any ideas what it is worth? I gave ten dollars for it at a flea about three years ago and just got around to trying it out this afternoon, works great. Thanks for your time.

The original should be pretty easy to find if ya hit the fleas and goodwills enuff, I saw two copies of it today Pitfall 2 however has taken me six months of searching (not reverting to ebay of course) but I will say it was well worth the wait, I am also sad to have missed it back in the day , it would have helped me be more prepared for SMB and not have looked like such an incompetant ass back in '86
-
Welp finally bought Pitfall 2 today and it is amazing I have always liked Pitfall and had intended on buying it for years but I must say it is even better than I had thought it would be, almost like an NES game as far as the depth of gameplay goes , anyone who doesnt have this one (I am sure most of you do) DO NOT TURN IT DOWN, one of the finest games I have ever played
-
Ok , Saboteur or A-Team which is your favourite version of the game and why? I myself like A-Team best simply due to the nostalgia of it what with getting to be a lighning powered Mr. T. So whatcha think?
-
At what price would you sell your collection?
sandmountainslim replied to weezle's topic in Atari 2600
Ditto here, my Vader unit along with my Pac Man ,Donkey Kong and Jungle Hunt were given to me by my stepmother who died in '85 so I dont think I could ever sell them. -
I went to a flea mkt this morning and a woman had two light sixers but I was afraid to ask the price as she had Pac Man and Combat marked for five bucks each
-
Yes Nova is right, I bought Starmaster today and enjoy it much more than Star Voyager

NovaXpress wrote: Beautiful work all around. As always, AA makes the best package in the business. Check out the competition, no one else puts that much care and attention into classic gaming. Agreed! I have only been around for a few months but I have been 100 percent satisfied with my orders and happy as a lark
