If you do this today here in Rio, you are going to be robbed!!

Thanks Cassidy Nolen for Sentinel!!!!

Hi! I am an serious Atari collector from Brazil with 210 boxed games. I am looking for those (CIB): Pigs In Space Oscar´s Trash Race Alpha Beam Defender II or Stargate Donkey Kong JR (red label) Sentinel if you have the game and you dont care about the box and want to sell me just the box, it´s fine. I am an Ebay member with 56 points, 100% positive feedback (111). just check my id there: brunocfernandes I pay by Paypal. Thanks!

Unfortunately, there isn´t many places to buy Atari carts. There´s a flea market in Rio de Janeiro called "Feira da Praça XV" which sells everything and I mean it! It happens every Saturday morning at Praça XV. But you have to be lucky to find good stuff and if you find it! Probably in Sao Paulo, there are more places to go. Or, you can buy at Brazilian Ebay called mercado livre (www.mercadolivre.com). Sao Paulo is a state in Brazil and its capital is Sao Paulo (largest city in Brazil). It is 45 minutes by plane or 6 hours by bus from Rio.

My pleasure, Rom! So I will scan some more I have and post them! Thanks!

Hi everybody! Even though I am brazillian I do not collect Braz´ carts (only American ones), but I would like to contribute with my friend Sr.Ferraz and Rom Hunter.

Oopsy-Daisy! Sorry Rom, I did not write the article!!!

Hi people, I asked Tom and he said I could translate the article. So here it is. It was a free translation so excuse me of any English grammar mistakes. Atari 2600, 30, still worshiped by fans Collections, emulation, game programming keep console soul alive; items manufactured in Brazil are worth abroad. Have you played your Atari today? This great line broadcasted on TV commercials in America still is in many people minds. Atari 2600 turns 30 this month and have an active and enthusiastic legion of fans collecting, playing and making games. “The coolest thing about it is the sense of community”, says businessman Antonio Borba (aka TomBrazil), 33. He has recently been in America to meet collector friends, “better than have a rare item is finding people with common interest”. Borba is considered by site www.rankbrasil.com.br as owner of the largest Atari collection in this country, which it can be seen at tombrazil.magicwebdesign.com.br. Before starting this hobby, he played Atari games on emulators – softwares which reproduce a system (in this case, the Atari console) on another (computer). The function of them is simple: just execute the emulator file and load a game file (ROM). They allow you to play an enshrine title and rarities which can not be found easily on cartridges. Even unreleased and unfinished games can be downloaded and played on them. Emulators are also used by game programmers. A few people know, but 2600 games are still been produced – mainly by fans who like the challenge to develop a game for such a limited machine. Many of those start it by changing an original ROM file. By doing so, they begin to understand how the machine works and may even write a game from beginning. Some programmers not only distribute the game ROM file but sell their production on cartridges. The Atari VCS (Video Computer System) was released in America in October of 1977. It got his 2600 signature in 1982 when the company released its successor, the Atari 5200. Atari was released in Brazil by Polyvox in 1983, when market already have brazilian cartridges from Canal 3 and Dynacom and console clones – not licensed – like Dactari and Dynavision. At the end of the same year, “vídeo game crash” ocurred in America – the falling of game industry due to market saturation. Here though, things just got started. In 1984, there was a huge boost in console clones and game production – today these items are well worth by collectors abroad. This fever was gone when computers were becoming popular and the launch of NES (Nintendo Entertainment System). Even though, Atari 2600 was produced up to 1992, which by no means meant its death.

Hi folks, I am an Atari collector from Brazil and want 2 Activision games in boxes to complete my collection: Beamrider and Cosmic Commuter. I would pay a fair price for those.

Hi! I am really interested in some 2600 boxed games. Thanks!

Hi! I am an serious 2600 collector from Brazil and I have about 100 Atari games in boxes from different brands (Atari, Activision, M Network, etc).

So if you have an Atari colored box (only box) or CIB, I am looking for the following: - Space War - Slot Racers - Canyon Bomber - Super Breakout - Indy 500 - Adventure - Video Olympics - Sky Diver - Superman - Dodge'em - Hunt & Score - Slot Machine - Fun with Numbers - Hangman I am an 100% positive feedback Ebay member and I pay using PayPal. Thanks for your attention!

Hi guys. Thanks for your posts. Regarding Ebay, I check it twice a day!! I bought this Pressure Cooker. Yes, it is Canadian, but I dont mind. The only version I dont want it is the International Edition, cause the box is smaller. (I have Dragster). That´s the reason I post it here. Maybe some friend might have one of those carts left and wants to sell it to me. Thanks again and I hope to get them next year! Happy Holidays!

Well, I vote for Activision. Let me explain why. Even though Atari made great games, most of them were from arcade (Space Invaders, Missile Command, etc). Activision however created unique games (most of them). The idea behind games like Keystone Kapers, Pitfall, Seaquest, Frostbite, HERO is just amazing!!

Hi my friends! I am an Atari 2600 collector from Brazil and I am trying to complete my Activision games in box. Please if anyone has the following games in duplicate in its collection and wants to help me out, I will be glad. I pay U$ 15 + shipping to Brazil ( about U$ 8 ) in each cart. I may pay using Paypal or send the money by mail. The games are: 1 - Bridge 2 - Crackpots 3 - Pressure Cooker 4 - Dolphin P.S.: I buy it even if it is not complete (e.g. missing manual, blue label) I am an Ebay member with 100% feedback. Thanks a lot!! Bruno
