Does the Atari VCS/2600 need more pinball games? "Some ancient alien theorists say YES!"

I missed getting those two from you directly via Etsy, but got Sharkstorm/Balloon Girl from Good Deal Games.

Received some things from Repentless.

I have gotten several double-ender reproduction cartridges (reused Xonox carts) from the AA forums and e(vil)-pay through the years. I came across a picture of Malagia/Confrontation on-line that I do not have. Here is a picture of mine. Are there any other ones out there? Here is the list: Halloween/The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Asterix/Obelix Star Wars The Arcade Game/SW ROTJ Ewok Adventure Gauntlet/Confrontation Vulture Attack/ Spider Maze Death Race/Dawn Of The Dead, in plastic case

I got a CIB copy of Atari 2600 RS Soccer.(not the football/soccer version)I was putting silver label boxed games away and realized This one was missing, and got lucky there was one on e(vil)pay. $18 Activision Hockey, blue label late release CIB $40 Some loose carts; Space Invaders red text $10, Indy 500 orange text(not UV faded), Adventure gold text(again not UV faded) $22, Jr Pac-Man 1987 $35 Seems like some of the red text label games are PAL/Australian only? I have given up on some of them. Just dealing with 2600 USA releases is enough of a hassle. Sears Canyon Bomber CIB the picture label one (numbers matching) $32, now I do not have a loose cart copy, it is in the box. Sears Race CIB the picture label one (the big box and controllers) $118 MS Pac-Man CIB 1985(very rare year) $180 , a bit much in price, but the cheaper items listed here make up for it. Stargate CIB 1985 (again , rare year) $48 And stuff from Repentless Video games on Etsy, I miss stuff here all the time because of low production numbers. Some days I check here three times and still miss items.

Anyone have any luck buying Atari 2600 games from either Red Button Games or Game Select? Does the changing currency rate mess things up? Are items lost via the mail? I have avoided international purchases for years.(except a few things from Canada) The reason I ask is because I do not see these items on e(vil)bay at all.

Just found out that I do not have the copy of spring 1983 killer bees with "your free copy" on the cover as pictured. Here I thought I was done with it....

Got four CGE t-shirts. The 1999 one was expensive,$45, $10 each the rest. Also got a Digital Press t-shirt for $20. I found a corner of E-bay where all the shirts were listed. Spike's Peak by Xonox for $140, the last single ender loose cart I needed, so had to pay that amount to just be done with it, plus only seen a good copy of the game listed about three times in ten years. Rally Racer $94, missed getting things from Brazil, so found it on Evil-Pay. Death Race/Dawn of the Dead double-ender repro $110. Now have seven carts like this with various games. I believe CPU-WIZ was the first to make these, way back when I had no grey hair. Sears Football text label,49-75114 CIB ,matching numbers. A lot of the Sears stuff on Ebay do not have the matching numbers(cart,manual,box) so finding Sears stuff is not easy. Codebreaker picture label CIB, don't know why I did not have this? Berzerk 1987 red box, the USA english only version, still an international five language version out there. Still looking for 1985 for any of the Atari Corp releases.(seem to be the rarest year) Also got this years first order of last years loose games and manuals from Atari Age. Thanks Albert. Second order will be all the new boxed games, and the demo carts.

Ditto...years and years.

I subscribed for the email notice even though I have bought a numbered copy off of Evil bay...

Just got a copy of a Gameline in the box, and just used Yahoo mail which is the great-grandchild of the Gameline,AOL,yahoo, tech history tree wise. Also got a copy of Sears Superman text label version. Do not expect to ever get the picture label version unless I want to spend $1500+.... And got a blue Game Books folder. Got Odyssey 2 Jack & the Beanstalk from 2600 connection...always great to deal with Tim D, and Chris Reads many O2 games. Ordered two items from 8-bit classics. One game works if held in place in the cart slot; one game did not work at all. Bummer.

Email sent an hour after the announcement....hoping it is in time.

I finally got a copy of The Voice for the Odyssey 2 system in its original (pretty good looking) box with the styrofoam inserts and manual for $140. Yeah, a little expensive but worth it to me because that is the last original O2 item I needed.

The original Atari we all knew has been killed and reanimated so many times now that even Dr Frankenstein wouldn't even bother to bring it back again, and yet some talent agency is going to try... I will consider the Atari company alive again if it bothers to actually manufacture new games. The talented homebrewers making games for all old game systems has this company beat (and buried again?).

Only in the USA can we have storage units for our trash that just delays its eventual burial. THEN we dig up that trash and sell it for an outrageous fortune. USA! USA! USA!

Hey, my copy showed up today, Thanks Tim. Robot Ron in 2084 is next; already have the controller holder....

Damn, must be nice to have your own time travel machine...

I assume this PAL end label variant was also released in 1985 ,like it was in the NTSC areas. It took me cutting open a shrink-wrapped box to figure this out; Atari Corp sure confused everything.

Thanks, like there aren't enough Video Pinball variants already with the small text ,large text mismatches. Either I did not know about this picture variant, of I knew about it 20 years ago and forgot. The mind is a terrible thing to waste....

I use the book 'The Atari 2600 Homebrew & Hacks Checklist' to keep track of homebrews like this. I have both Hunger Shark boxed versions a red($100)<25 copies> and a blue one($200)<25 copies>. The only thing missing from each boxed copy is the mini plush shark toy. There is also the cheaper? cartridge and manual version<25 copies>, which I do not have yet. only 75 copies officially made by NEO Games back in 2015.

I agree with others here, there is enough 2600 versions of flashback. Make a 7800 one and a 5200 one. It is what the customers what.... As for filling landfills, I just watched a video of the trash we are now leaving on Mars...It is what humans do, pollute a world ,move on to pollute the next one, repeat ,repeat, repeat....

This should statistically skew things up, in 2003 I got a CIB copy of Espial for .99cents! off of EvilPay. As for Q*Berts Qubes, I paid $260 for the CIB copy and $90 for the loose cart.

Homebrew rarity is weird, I just paid $30 for a blue cartridge QB; I bid a lot more than that...

Great hack. That billboard is awesome. Unfortunately, I am old enough to recall watching the original run of V on network tv....and Battlestar Galactica for that matter.
