What is the most money you have spent on a Atari 2600 game?

[What is the most money you have spent on a Atari 2600 game?]

$180.00 for Cakewalk, (thank you Trade-N-Games) It was a little more than I wanted to spend but at least I will not have to worry about a broken game or crappy packaging or not even getting the game at all (which can happen with Ebay)I have been looking for this one for quite a while, Its not as common as Stronghold contrary to what people say. Overall I was very satisfied with the purchase.

[Lynx prototype Alien vs. Predator to trade...]

Is this a real proto? I for some reason kinda remember someone selling copies on ebay. If this is real I have an extra Nomad I'm looking to trade. LMK thanks

I remember that as well, I think atari sales currently sells copies of this prototype also.

[PORTABLE 2600? ...Is this just a pipe dream?]

THE OFFICIAL SITE OF BENJAMIN J HECKENDORN

 

He's still making them.

Ben Heckendorn's portable 2600 design is the Phoenix, and no - he is no longer making any at the moment.

 

And yes, I do have one and it's quite nice

How did you get one if you dont mind me asking, did he do an auction like thing or was he selling them on his site? By the time I found out about them they were no longer availible.

[Only one thing...]

Genesis? Genesis? .. don't get me wrong, I like the system.. but I paid literally two bucks for mine, CIB. I paid 5.99 and 10.00 for my OTHER TWO, thinking some friend would want one since they were coming cheap, but no, nope. Nobody wants one.

I recently picked up two 'genesi' (is that how you say that plural?) at a local thrift dump for 4.99 a piece thinking the same thing as you or maybe to try and get some friends into classic gaming. No one was intrested, I think they made so damn many of them that most people that want one already have one.

Super Princess Peach and Animal Crossing Wild World for some non-frustrating, high quality gameplay .

Also don't let pass some great GBA games like Mario And Luigi or Mother 3 along with the Mario remakes.

Mother 3?, not familier with that one. I've heard the name before but I thought it was an import only game for the SNES, Is this availible in the states now?

[Displaying your collection]

I have an idea but I have never actually done this so it may or may not work. The best way to explain it would be to think of those large poster racks they have at places like Spencers or music stores, you know the kind that have all the posters behind plexi-glass in a rack you can flip through, kind of like a giant photo album mounted vertically on the wall. If you could make the plexi-glass sheets able to hold Atari games this would be the answer. They would be out of the light, you could view the top label instead of the front and you could hold like a thousand of them in much less space than traditional methods. You should try it and let me know how it goes, I think it would look sweet.

[Thinking of starting atari collection]

Alright. Thanx for the help guys. I think I'll get a 7800 pretty soon.

Did you ever end up getting something, If so what?

[A haunted VCS]

Well, this tactic worked for the guy who sold the 'haunted' NES (which netted him three bills as I recall). A fool and his money and all that....

Looks like it didnt work quite as well for this dude. Haunted VCS, what a joke.

[Anyone ever seen the video by Activision for Space Shuttle]

I would love to see it, please keep us posted. Hope you can find it, I love Activision stuff.

[Finally entered the Modern Handheld Gaming Era - Opinions Welcome :)]

I almost forgot, Tetris DS whoops ass over both of these titles though, a MUST buy.

[Finally entered the Modern Handheld Gaming Era - Opinions Welcome :)]

Keep playing this game(Meteos), it can be a little confusing at first and there were a few times I also doubted the 'hype' surrounding this game also but it is totally fun, trust me (even though you dont like Zoo Keeper but that I can understand, not everyone likes that game) The only down side is once you get all the endings and unlock everything you are basicly waiting around ot play multi-player because there is nothing left to do. This was the last game I was so into that I just had to play it constantly. Zoo keeper can be annoying sometimes especially when it comes to getting high scores but heres a tip play on the hard difficulty settings this racks up more points so you can get higher scores. Get first place in all the catogories and you unlock the super hard mode(they call it something else I cant remember it off hand)It is possible though, I've done it. In closing give Meteos and Zoo Keeper a chance both are awesome puzzlers.

[Coleco kid vid @ atari 2600]

I still think fifty bucks for a complete and nice conditioned heavy sixer is not bad at all but sounds like some people disagree with that so maybe it is too much. If they offer some kind of waranty thats even better because Ebay sure doesnt.

[PORTABLE 2600? ...Is this just a pipe dream?]

Pretty sure his name was Ben Heck and the portable 2600 was called the Phoenix. Unfortunetly I think he only made about 30 and numbered them. They sold quick and I dont know if he is making any more. I would sure love to get one though.

[Completed Zellers]

Cool Zellers collection, First time Ive seen them all together like that. Makes me want to start collecting them as well.

[Help Please]

Busted Atari

[Ghost Manor]

Try changing the difficulty so you have a skelaton instead of the ghost, might work but I doubt it.

[Coleco kid vid @ atari 2600]

Fifty bucks for a complete heavy sixer sounds like a good price, thats about what I paid for mine.

 

Depends on how you mean complete.

 

If you mean complete by two standard cx-40 sticks and paddles, a heavy sixer and possibly an original power supply, its a decent deal.

 

If you mean complete by original paddles and two cx-10 sticks, that's a great deal.

 

If the hex discs are still on the joysticks, its a steal.

I had no idea the degree of rarity on all these. I was referring to a basic package.

[wanted last 4 nes manuals]

What about a Race America poster?

[Finally entered the Modern Handheld Gaming Era - Opinions Welcome :)]

I cant believe you dont like Meteos. Are you feeling o.k.

[1982 Texas Chainsaw Massacre Box Pictures & Poster Info]

Is that why Nintendo prototypes are less common?

[Hack Idea: Venetain Blinds Demo Hacks]

Is this topic serious? I thought this dude was kidding, Venetian Blinds? I dont get it.

[Spinkle in a few rare games and viola $$$$]

I have to say I have always had the best luck ending my own personal auctions on Sunday, seems like everybodys always at home on sundays. Not saying anyone is wrong, just adding my opinion.

[Star wars games...which are your favorites?]

Rouge Squadron 2 has been the reason for me buying a gamecube twice. I had to play it again, that game is sweet. I also enjoyed the 2600 Empire Strikes Back quite a bit. The actual Upright Arcade game of Star Wars and E.S.B. both kicked ass. I remember being a kid and waiting in line to play these only to promptly die ( It took a while to get really good at the arcade versions, at least for me) It was worth it to her the digatilized speech, That was pretty cool back then. What a rush.

[Spinkle in a few rare games and viola $$$$]

Youre right, I was checking this one out earlier and thought the same thing. A few good ones but not enough to justify the price.
