I traded 'tapes' as well, but mostly remember going to different friends houses to play Atari.Each friend seemed to have a different collection of games by different companies,so that helped to be able to play something different.
-
I know this info can get confusing,with that in mind, could you somehow put on the website which of these games are 'original' and which are just 'pirates/rip-offs'.
-
Demolition Herby is the other game that you 'capture' areas of the playfield.
-
This is what happens when you buy the cheapest, ugliest plastic available to do the job!
-
I only need a boxed copy of Cosmic Commuter to complete my collection.
-
Unlike back in the day when I used pencil and grid paper, you can now "cheat" and go online and find these maps.

Just did my banking and was reminded that I recently got Quick Step boxed for the 2600 for $34 ;it's not perfect,but it is mine! Also about 3 years ago I got a boxed copy of Espial for .99 cents!, and it is in mint condition. Got my copy of Boing! for about $40. And via email, got Starpath/Arcadia Frogger for $40.
-
Ditto. I've got two or more of everything(for the 2600,sorry I know I'm on the wrong forum, but I do have 5200 stuff too) Those pack-rat photos are hilarious.At least there are not any rats in the garage too.Or maybe they are, and they are very computer literate!
-
I got my copy for $40 a few years back.

How much did you pay for the last game you bought?
dwh replied to Rhindle The Red's topic in Poll Forum
$126 for C.I.B. Subterrania off of e(vil)bay. I have been paying over $100 on each item I am missing for my 2600 collection.As you can tell, I am getting down to the nitty-gritty(i.e. expensive), that is, very few things left to get that do not cost something crazy like over 4 or 5 hundred dollars.In the last week, I have basically blown my tax return money. -
How would you run atari after buying it from Nolan
dwh replied to 8th lutz's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I think I would have fired the idiot that said this about 2600 games, "I could put s**t in those boxes and still charge $60"(PAC-MAN was crap) This is why Atari got stagnant, too much greed by a few people;the usual BS. -
Looks like the site is up and running just in time for me to blow my tax refunds there!
-
Great, now try finding the Flight Commander unit--it took me three years.
-
The O2 basketball! looks horrible.The ball is not even dribbled,good thing they did not have fouls/freethrows.Nothing beats the Atari version(from this time period anyway).
-
I got 25.Not all Atari though.I've been setting up fav sellers list via ebay so that is sending some email my way everyday.
-
Ditto! And, yeah I got mine from Telegames a few years back.
-
That's bizzare.I'm surprised ebay allows such auctions at all. Pretty carry case for your 10 Combat cartridges!
-
Since it is vidio jogger, maybe someone should go door to door signing up their neighbors to "sponsor" so much a mile for jogging.Just don't tell them that the 'cause' is to collect money to buy an expensive ebay item.
-
Elevator Action is also on ebay every so often.
-
The artwork of yesteryear had to hype the game,and nowdays the artwork looks worse than the actual game.
-
For better or worse(and certainly for a lot of money) I discovered E-bay in the year 2000.But now days I buy a lot of stuff from independent sellers,because the prices are getting crazy on ebay(like the $200+ empty box mentioned here). My advice to a new collector is to look at all the sellers links on AA here, and shop around.This is the only way I am plugging in the missing pieces of my collection.I mostly "watch" e-bay these days, just as a "sport" of sorts.
-
NICE! I wish I had a MAME machine. Must not use my $4k ,stashed away as an emergency fund, to buy MAME cabinet!!
-
So what was the game playing on screen,in this new episode??

http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...=gatefold+boxes Hope this link works for the "upside-down box".Here it is
-
Wow! Too much time on your hands.But I can't say much either, since I have all my boxes in order of product number/order of release. There is another post here where the guy had 'one' box upside-down,in a row of boxes, with the writing going the other way;it bothered a-lot of people.
