  1. Mine are in plastic boxes with lids(so they can be stacked),with labels on one end letting me know which companies games are in which box. I now have three of these boxes with Atari Age released games! Two boxes are full, the third box is just getting filled with new games.
  2. Careful, Magnavox might sue this site and force us to change it to OdysseyAge(!).After reading the Ralph Baer book, it seems that he spent half his life in court for Magnavox.
  3. Demon attack and atlantis are not as rare as the parker bros games,but cool to own because of so little third party games for the O2.
  4. I live rural, so I have no choice but to shop on-line. (I'm not a shut-in, I just don't get out much)
  5. Edtris 2600 and SoundX came out in 1994, two years after Salu and HES released their last Atari games. Only two years!It's almost like the 2600 never stopped being supported.
  6. I would like to know too.I think I missed out on Indy 500 XE.
  7. Which introduces another interesting question: Is "for sale" good enough or shouldn't at least one copy be sold? And how about games that where never sold but only available as gifts/bonus? My question is, how many games does the AA store sell of certain good games? A good rule of thumb(or maybe not?), would be a game that sells 50 special edition games, then sells 50+ regular release games at AA or some other online venue.Then you could assume the title has gained homebrew status by 1-being programmed,not hacked & 2-has sold 100+copies, thus making it popular.
  8. I also wanted to mention that the whole at arcade and home vidio game market was not created but made strong by Atari;any other company afterwards was just working off the business model made by Bushnell, even after the crash.

    Thirsty?

    Game instructions for Atari brand water- 1)open water with cap pointed up towards ceiling,or your game will be of shorter duration. 2)drink water,drink slowly for longer lasting game, or drink quickly for short game play. 3)when all water is gone,from drinking or evaporation,your Atari Water gaming experience is over.
  10. Looks frustrating as hell!Bring it on!
  11. I've collected both loose and boxed games.First I got the loose games,then got the 'bug' to get the boxed ones as well.So you might end up with two collections as it where,which is cool in a way,but expensive in other ways;money wise or GF/Wife wise.
  12. Are we going to see this bumper sticker in the near future? "My car runs on Combat cartridges"
  13. I am currently hooked on Hunchy 2(got to level 7) & Stratogems. In otherwords, check out the homebrews. My alltime fav is Pac-Man Jr.
  14. So exercise and eat right so you can outlast the other collectors Great theory,if we could just stop these young 15 to 25 year olds getting into the hobby we might have a chance... I'm taking the games with me, no ones getting them;a coffin made of game cartridges?
  15. I bought Berzerk for the 2600 with my very own saved up 'change'. Got a great game and pissed of the teller at toys-r-us. "What's the first game you used as a door-stop?"
  16. Douh! I stand corrected...this is what happens when you rely on the computer in your head.My brain runs on Win98 and is no longer supported!
  17. So when can I get my working copy of Shooting Gallery?
  18. Gets in very long line Line moves back one,"Dammit, someone just had a baby"(Futurama qoute)
  19. Need some Sears boxed games?(not mine)(paypal only) http://cgi.ebay.com/Lot-of-40-BOXED-Atari-...1QQcmdZViewItem
  20. I only need five more boxed.I got all mine at atari2600.com.The boxes are not much to talk about, just blank red boxes.
  21. The same type of penny is currently going for over $8000.Wish I had that kind of cash.Of course it still cost more than a penny for the mint to make a penny,they need to just phase it out.(then I can sell all my pennies for $1000 each!)
  22. Another thing that is annoying is the fact that your character can not reverse as fast as the ghosts(it seems to glide a bit before reversing),so following the red or purple ghosts is not a good idea at all. I can barely get to level 3 and consider it lucky to get to four; I can hardly get to level two without losing a life.Whenever I need a lesson in humility I just play Pac-Man Jr!
  23. I thought from the thread title that this would be like a challenge to make a "worse" pac-man.The game that won this contest would be determined by just how quickly the player cries and/or throws the joystick at the tv screen in a fit of rage. The Chinese Connection mentioned above is priceless.
  24. I am going to attempt to win the Earth Dies Screaming, but I see Odessagirl2004 is also bidding, so I expect to be outbid. Just to piss off ismokeblunts, I got Espial boxed for .99 cents a few years back on ebay--my luckiest auction ever.
