WTB: cheap Atari games, my wife donated my most of my collection.

[kemmer]

It's a pretty long story and I don't really want to go into it, but my wife donated virtually all of my video game collection. I'm sill have most of my Intellivision, NES, TG-16, and SMS games, but I had hundreds of games for virtually every system made. For now, the main things I need badly are 2600 and 7800 games, I don't have a single game for either of these systems. I do have the consoles themselves, just no games. My Colecovision is gone along with all of it's games as well.

 

EDIT: I realized as I was going through stuff last night all my Sega Saturn, Sega CD, Dreamcast, 3DO, and CDi games are also gone.

 

I would also eventually like to replace my Vectrex games (still have the system), my Fairchild Channel F, RCA Studio II and Arcadia 2001, but I don't have the money to replace them now.

 

In fact, I don't have much money at all, so please let me know if you have something you can part with cheap. I do have a list of things I can trade, I'm going to go through some stuff tonight and I'll make up a list.

Should be interesting to see how people respond to you here. Well good luck getting your games!

I have about 50 Atari 2600 carts you can have for $0.25 each. They are all commons and some are label variants. Post what you have for trade and we can possibly make a deal. I have the list of games if you're interested.

It was basically a result of her mistakenly thinking everything in my storage unit was stuff I didn't care about, and her being mad at me over a late night with some friends. She has been bugging me to get rid of stuff for years, I really did have WAY too much stuff. Obviously I'm pissed as hell but we're trying to work things out. I can't really forgive her till I get my collection back to where I can at least enjoy a few of my favorite systems cause I rage out every time I walk in my game room.

 

EDIT: PLEASE lets not make this about what happened, that's in the past now, I just want to start rebuilding a little bit.

Have you considered going with multicarts or flashcarts for some of the systems, at least temporarily? That'd cost less and allow you to play the full library (give or take) on real hardware. The Vectrex multicart is great. Obviously that can't replace a proper collection, though.

 

Do you collect Odyssey2 as well?

I did have a ton of odeyssey2 stuff, but all of that is gone, including the consoles. Multicarts are a great thought, I hadn't ever considered it before, I had all the genuine articles of everything I wanted but now it would make a lot of sense.

OK, here's a pic of some of my controllers. There's more, stay tuned.

I've got a box of extra 2600 commons and some uncommon. I could do $.25 each as well. Send PM if you'd want a list.

My best recommendation is to replace the wife.

Since its usually cheaper to keep her and its your private business, I'll help with the games. I can help you replace a bunch of 2600 games on the cheap. Any particular preferences, or anything you can get? I'll give you 20-30 common games for free to start... PM me.
