King Atari, I'm afraid I also liked swordquest. When the games came out (I was around 14ish) I played Fireworld & Earthworld with my buddies and tried to figure them out, most of us gave up after a while but it was at the time totally different from other arcade games being released, and the comic books were a cool idea. We thought we could put our talents to use, solve the games and ride into an atari pixelated sunset where we would be kings. No such luck. 17 years later I still have the same 2600 console with the same joysticks, and I still haven't figued out fireworld, not that Ive played it in 10 years mind you. I guess what Im trying to say is that even though the gameplay was kind of crappy, I just love anything Atari, Atari can do no wrong in my book, except skyjinks...now that is a crappy game.....

I think alot of people sell 2600 carts and lable them Rare, when in fact they are not. Sure, compared to some titles maybe, but often you will see a so-called rare game on Ebay listed 5 times in the same week. I started re aquiring my lost 80's atari 2600 collection 2 years ago (I had about 100 games in 1987, and I thought that was alot at the time - but they were all lost some years ago) and in the process have discovered hundreds of games I never knew existed, this is pretty cool and I look in flea markets for the lost box of atari games hidden in the corner containing several games that I never heard of - (and this has happend to me) however sometimes you spend a lot of cash on a "rare" game only to find it 2 weeks later in a garage sale for 2 dollars. What are you supposed to do about that I wonder.....I realize some titles will never be found in a garage sale, but thats what the internet is for right? That and the psychic friends network, I wonder....
