Red 5 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Nice! I love tag sale and flea market season myself. While not impossible, finding Star Wars Arcade in the wild may prove quite the challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I wish I had success at flea markets. The closest thing I ever saw was Dr. Mario for the NES. I did see a marquee for Dig Dug for $10 (which I bought just because it had the Atari logo on it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Nice! I love tag sale and flea market season myself. While not impossible, finding Star Wars Arcade in the wild may prove quite the challenge. I've seen it twice in the wild. I have one, and I traded the other one for a Stargunner. Here's the killer: The first one cost me 95 cents, and the second one cost me 99 cents. Good flea market score. Although I have found many "new" places that sell common 2600 carts, I haven't been to the flea markets nearly enough this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been pretty dry the last few weeks. I scored an NES and SNES about 6 weeks ago from a garage sale and then picked up a whole bunch of NES games at Goodwill about a month ago. I bought a Game Cube three weeks ago from Salvation Army but along with the N64 I can't get too excited since I'll never play them (my kid will though). Interesting how many systems Nintendo has released over the years. Is there much difference between an SNES, N64 and Game Cube? Are the graphics increasingly better? Maybe the wrong forum to ask...

homerwannabee Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 3 games for $2. That averages out to .67 cents a cart. Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, since you asked... The graphics do indeed get increasingly better as you "evolve" to the next system. It's all a matter of processing power and all the technical gobbilty-gook that goes with it, but yes in general. However, I personally believe the SNES was the most fun of all of them to play with the game releases available to it. NES was almost dead even in my eyes for the fun factor and playability. Just my 2 cents, mind you. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my 2 cents, mind you. Steve For me, I collect classic arcade game ports so the SNES and later Nintendos do nothing for me. There are several games on the NES that are actually inferior to the ColecoVision counterparts. BurgerTime, Spy Hunter and Bump N Jump come to mind. So, if you were to compare graphics of a similar game (be it a soccer or football game for example) between consoles that were released one after the other (e.g. NES vs. SNES), is there really much of a difference like night and day?

Rik Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Damn you guys are lucky.I have never seen a game cartridge around here for less than $5.00 a game no matter what it is,never.And never been able to get them for less than that,that's the price they say.But still, for many games $5.00 for a game is a bargain,considering you'd pay 3x times that much at Ebay or what ever after shipping,insurance,etc,etc. Edited August 25, 2009 by Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kb9snl Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Great, now I'm going to want to go flea market hopping today! Too bad they're all such a long drive away...usually I'll come up with at least one game though...at the very least, I'll find Combat! LOL!

Frizo Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 My flea has outragous prices.

joeypsp Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 i found an intellivision with all the hookups in mint *no box* but no scratches, ans 20 some games, all in boxes with all the manuals and overlays 3 of them being intellivoice compatible(did i mention i also got the intellivoice) for 50 bucks lol, i got such a smile on my face when i heard *MATTEL ELECTRONICS PRESENTS - B-17 BALMER* in its funny robot voice, which actually sounds pretty good quality wise lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremysart Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) lol, i got such a smile on my face when i heard *MATTEL ELECTRONICS PRESENTS - B-17 BALMER* in its funny robot voice, which actually sounds pretty good quality wise lol LOL! Me and my buddy still joke about that one pretty often. Haha, there were times I hit reset multiple times just to hear it. "Beee siventeeen balmeer", lol Porky's is a good, but challenging 2600 game. It has quite a few screens, and even some blocky x rated action, you'll see. The only outdoor flea market around me closed out for some reason. What a bummer.. then there is the Gibraltor Trade Center, which sucks, becuase the venders there are hoarders of junk, with the same over priced crap for years. Last night I scored an Intv System III with several rare boxed games and Intellivoice for $20. Some of the games included PacMan and Centipede from Atari Soft, AD&D, Bombsquad and Pitfall (which I now have like 6 of).

ninermaniac Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I can't even go to any of the flea markets close to me. I have hit them so much in the past that when they see me comin' they jack up the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me how it is! 2600 Porky's,also came out for the ColecoVision is hard as heck,frustrating.Some like it,some absolutely hate it.Takes a little while to learn pole vaulting over the pit.The game sounds are very very irritating also.But i think its an okay game.
