ATARIPITBULL replied to Ferret75's topic in Atari 2600
My favorite Atari 2600 game of all time is: Raiders of the Lost Ark My least favorite 2600 game of all time is: Pac-Man. -
As of right now I only collect NTSC games & systems ( I do have a few PAL 2600 system ) but I feel soon the time will come for me to next try PAL.
-
Right now I have Melbourne Tatty. As for what are my most favorite 2600 games: 1) Raiders of the Lost Ark. 2) Pitfall I & II 3) Adventure. 4) Wizard of Wor. 5) Kaboom. 6) Frogger I & II. 7) Tutankham. Wolfenstien VCS. 9) Haunted Adventure Trilogy. 10) Demon attack. 11) Yars Revenge. Just off the top of my head.

I'll take one please. I have been waiting for some one to do something like this or I was going to have to buy one of those record players that can record in MP3.

For me when it comes to collecting I collect complete in the box onlly. its not because I have a ton of money to spend, its the history and the information you find on a box. I don't have the most complete collection around, if I collected only the carts I guess I would almost be done by now, but for me its not just the game, its the complete history behind it all that only a CIB game, system or extra has.
-
You find these on ebay all the time for sale.
-
Payment sent for my premium edition copy.
-
And so it begins, another young CIB collector is born. Collection is looking good, in no time at all you will be needing more shelves.

Hello I just bought a Atari 2600 store kiosk and the seller for some reason threw this stuff in the sale. 1) Atari 2600 Jr: the system works but the silver band looks a little rough. 2) 2 Gemini controllers. (Tested and worked) 3) A pair of Atari tennis paddles. (Tested and worked) 4) 1 Black 2600 controller.(Tested and worked) 5) 2 power cords: 1 Atari & 1 Coleco. 6) 1 tv/game antenna switch. 7) 15 games that you can see in the picture, I just tested all of these carts today and even though some look like shit, they all work. Please don't ask me to sell you just a few carts or what not, I am selling the whole lot for just $22.00, Shipping included in the US only, outside the US shipping will be extra! Paypal only please. The first person to PM me will be the winner, not the first person to post here, I have already some people get mad at me because they posted here and did not sent me a PM.

What's the best way to store your cartridges without an organizer?
ATARIPITBULL replied to Ferret75's topic in Atari 2600
Now thats what I call nice. I had a chance to see them at the Pontiac Silver dome back in the early 80's but I got very sick the day of and could not go, but it turned out for the best because my cousin and his friend who went, had no ride home and froze there asses off all night long till my aunt went and picked them up around 6:00 AM and she bitched them both up and down all the way home. -
Do you own the Vid-Tari? I'd still say it's harder to find than the Vid-Lid I've seen several Vid-lids boxed over the years, but only found one Vid-tari. The Vid-Lid you just got came from my collection. The Vid-Tari is still here though. I've seen some other organizers over the years, some I've never seen original packaing for/don't know who the manufacturers are.. Here's a thread with details of the Vid-Tari to Vid-Lid change. http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...0908&hl=vid Damit, just when I thought my check list was getting smaller you hit me with this!!!!!!! (Oh well the hunt is on)

ATARIPITBULL replied to Ferret75's topic in Atari 2600
You should make a bunch of these and sell it to those of us who don't have access to a table saw right now. Maybe in a couple different sizes. Through the AA store maybe? Just an idea? Either way, really nice. Good job! Its kind of hard to tell but the inside of the box is also lined with black vinyl. I guess I could make some for anyone who asks but I would not know how much it would all cost untill I make my next one with the price of the wood & the 2 Atari stickers & shipping, I already have the Atari orange paint, shlack & a huge roll of black vinyl so that would not be extra. -

ATARIPITBULL replied to Ferret75's topic in Atari 2600
Well if you have a table saw or know some one who does then buy some wood from Home depot or Lowes and make an organizer your self. I needed something for my boxed aftermarket 2600 games and in 2 hours I made this. I even painted the front edge Atari orange, put some of those Atari logo stickers they sell all the time on ebay and finished it off with some shlack, now its already time for me to make another one. -
Nope the Sears game center CIB is rarer and the VID-LID boxed is the hardest. In my searches I found many boxed Atari game centers but it took 5 years to find the Sears one boxed and I only just a few weeks ago got a VID-LID which I thought I was never going to find. :!: Wow, I have an Atari Game Center (sans, the lid that broke years ago), but I've never even seen a VID-LID. You know it the past 8 years I have been collecting I have seen about 5 VID-LIDS for sale on Ebay and only one of those was boxed. I did see a loose VID-LID on ebay about a month ago and it sold for only a few bucks.

How do you store boxed games to keep them from getting damaged?
ATARIPITBULL replied to tremoloman2006's topic in Atari 2600
I used to store my boxed 2600 games in those 50 gallon plastic containers but in time I had like 10 of those stacked up. I don't have a lot of room in my house also but with a small 5 foot wide 9 foot long tool room in my basement I turned it into my collection room. What it comes down to is that if you want to collect every boxed 2600 game you can get your hands on your going to have a mountain of storage containers taking up lost of space when for just a few bucks you can buy some small shelves to hold them(After I set up my collection room I had to get rid of like 18 of those plastic bins). To show you what I mean just go to the Atariage members photo gallery, there you can see what I have done with almost no space in my basement. -

If I found a swordquest Airworld cart in a box at a yard sale, I sure as hell would not tell the seller that its worth thousands of dollars because I would want it for my self, but if I also found a rattle snake in the box when I got home then that would also be a bounus.
-
Damn that box looks kick ass, I can't wait to buy my copy!!
-
Well first off there are a ton of after market cart organizers. Some wall mount and connect to each other like the VIDEOSTAK ORGANIZER from Music mate. Some are made to sit on a counter top and some even spin like a display case. Now as far as are some rarer than others for the most part the answer is no, I should know I have a bunch of different kinds still in boxes.

Did you ever complete "Raiders of the Lost Ark" for the 2600?
ATARIPITBULL replied to Rhindle The Red's topic in Poll Forum
My parents had bought it for me and I was at it for like 5 days when I friend of mine asked if he could have it for the weekend to try it out, when Monday came around he told me he did it and showed me how. I was kind of mad at my friend for winning the game before I did but when I saw how it ended I thought it was kool and was no longer mad.
