    Enigma 2600

    This item WAS listed at CTCW auction site a few minutes ago...Yeah, I bought it.
  2. Wow! Where is the retro tv to play the games?
  3. How about a contest at your funeral. Set up the 'ol 2600(VCS),and insist that anyone wanting to pay their respects must play a game first. High scorer wins the collection! Since my Atari collection will probably be the only thing of value that I ever own,my relatives are going to have to prove they want to inherit it. Of course, you would have to weed out a lot of relatives by having them play the worst ,most flickery games first.
  4. When I started collecting atari 2600 games I got all the loose games and a few boxed games,so all those loose games are in plastic storage boxes,while the boxed games go in a bookshelf area with their game and instruction manual in the box.So, eventually you will end up with two copies of almost everything, if you bought like I did.The games I would want to play are in the plastic containers, while the games with really good labels are just sitting in the boxes, hopefully gaining value...
  5. The insurance is real cheap.I was quoted $50 a year, although after reading some posts here, I do have to make sure the policy says "vidio game collectibles." I knew about game manager, but my new computer doesn't have the software I need to run it right, so I might use MS Works. I forgot about Digital Press;I guess I could print out those price lists for the insurance guy. Thanks for the info.
  6. So where can I find a current list of the value of games I do not have receipts for? An online source or a book source? Thanks in advance.
  7. Alchemy! Forget gold.Buy a shit load of lead, then use alchemy to turn it into gold.Maybe this is why lead is "outlawed"!?? I have bid on a few items.Thanks for the heads up.
  8. I've got way too many to list here.But I can tell you that Atari Age released games now fill three plastic boxes! Thanks for the link to Atariguide software,I'm going to download it and use it to get my atari collection insured;I need to know just how much it's worth so I can insure it properly.
  9. I just closed my paypal account.It worked for a while by using my credit card.Then they wanted me to be "verified".That meant linking to a bank account or getting their credit card, neither of which I wanted to do.It was conveinyant while it lasted...
  10. Wow, sold out already! Let me know when you make more....
  11. "Cow Tipping" would be hilarious. The game play would be like this.. 1)you tip a cow 2)which causes a stamped,so 3)you have to move your guy to avoid being ground meat,which leads to.. 4)Another quiet field full of sleeping cows.(goto step 1 with increased speed)
  12. I will second Star Castle, since it is only on one other classic game system(the Vectrex).
  13. I wish my M-network boxes looked as good as those in your collection.For some reason M-network and Sears boxes always seem worn out when I see them on ebay or CTCW.I've been collecting over four years, nice quick collection you got there.
  14. I first watched DVD's on my computer, then got a player.
  15. I'll take #61. It's the beginning of summer,so I'm six months early for this christmass release! Hopefully this will be one release I won't pay way too much for on e(vil)bay.
  16. If I could put the 2600 pac-man in a maze craze maze to die I would! My dad made a big deal of getting pac-man for my brother and I,and we just didn't have the heart to tell him that it sucked.Wasn't it like $65.00 when it first came out?
  17. So maybe this auction will make it profitable for the original holder of the rom to make some games available thru AA.?!?
  18. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this movie could be filmed in most of the empty industrial space that Atari originally occupied.
  19. Watch this ebay sellers listings or contact them.I just saw a copy of Planet of the Apes listed there last week.
  20. Getting boxes off of ebay is a crapshoot.The boxes are never as good as the 15 or so I got from back in the day.But now that I have all the common game carts I am slowly getting boxed games.
  21. I got an (illegal?) copy of the game on a cart off of ebay.I need to disconnect the 7800 and play this one some more.It is not as fast paced as Pitfall, but cool anyway.
  22. I'm currently hooked on Ms Pac-Man and Beef Drop. I can't seem to do any good on Galaga.It seems like the missiles don't fire fast enough to get the waves of enemies very well. Food Fight cracks me up, especially when it goes into the instant-replay mode.
  23. Hey, at least the writing on the back of the box is honest...
