Whats that one game you keep finding?

Recommended Posts

Besides Combat, Asteroids and Pac-Man whats that one game you seem to find anytime you come across Atari games in the wild? For me it's Jr-Pac-Man. I swear to god I've found about 30 copies of this game!!! Also Frogger.

NBA Live 95 for the Genesis is about as close as I've been getting to finding Atari games lately. ;)

 

Frogger, Q*Bert, and Spider-Man, and ET all come to mind...

Avoiding the obvious--

 

#2 Donkey Kong Jr. for Colecovision (Donkey Kong, of course, is #1)

I could make a small fort with the amount I have. Any homebrewer's out there who need some shells???

 

#1 Auto Racing for Intellivision (I've actually seen more of this than the packed in Las Vegas Poker. Did people trash these?)

I am so sick of Auto Racing for the Intellivision!

 

And following the rules given...

#4 Fishing Derby for Atari 2600 (Pac-Man #1, 'Stroids #2, Combat #3)

 

 

Stating the obvious...

Parsec (TI-99)

KC Munchkin (Odyssey2)

 

Sorry, one last thing. You ever notice how often you run into a packaged game (Star Raiders [2600], Turbo [Colecovision], etc) solo? It's like the game survived, but not the accessory. It's like, what am I supposed to do with this?

That one made me chuckle :)

 

 

Those EA sports Genesis games are so common you pretty much see them everywhere.

If you really have that many copies, I'd IM Albert - he's been looking for spare supercarts to add a new adventure game to the AtariAge store! :)

 

As for my dupes, I've got about a zillion Space Invaders.

Definitely has to be Warlords. Everywhere I have gone there is a Warlords cart in the mix. Sometimes up to 5 copies or more. Ttruth is I like the game. Just gets old seeing it everytime I search for gold. ;)

Star Raiders with the pad and overlay. It's every freakin' where. Anyone want a Video Touch Pad? I'm sure I can hunt one up for you.

 

I also see Donkey Kong, Atlantis, and Journey Escape everywhere. Usually the Atlantis carts are the early picture carts made before Atlantis II or they are text. I often see day scene carts as well.

 

There are many other games I see all the time:

Cosmic Ark

Star Voyager

Demon Attack

Stampede

Freeway

Fishing Derby oops, that's not common around here...

Pitfall!

Megamania

Starmaster

Kaboom!

Ice Hockey

M*A*S*H

 

That's not including Parker, Atari, and Sears titles aside from Star Raiders.

 

As for other systems, I see 5200 Pac-Man and Super Breakout mostly. Intellivision games are dirt common here, too, but I can't tell you what they all are. A large chunk of boxed Inty games are no longer available here...gee, I wonder why? :ponder:

 

Mostly what I see for other systems are sports games...except the Game Gear. Every store that carries Game Gear titles has a huge pile of Sonic 2 and Deep Duck Trouble. There's even more of them than there are Combat and (gasp) ET carts.

You should sell them to buy a supply of capital letters and apostrophes. Looks like you're fresh out of those!
