Big ole Atari 2600 lot for $150 shipped!

[Crazy Climber]

Hello

First off, yes of course the CubiColor and Music Machine are reproduction games (very well done ones at that!) Now that's out of the way, you get EVERYTHING shown in the pics for $150 shipped. The CIB Music Machine reproduction, the Cubicolor reproduction all of the games shown (CIB and LOOSE) the system and all the controllers, etc... I will say, the Atari system included looks as if it was never used, I am not saying it is new but it is flawless and came with a lot of games that were basically still shrinkwrapped so I bet this system has had very little play! Let me know if you have any questions, I think this is a pretty good deal but I am always open to offers of course, Thanks!

So whats the story behind the carts that look like intellivision carts? I've seen these but never thought to ask. Were they just going for a new look?

 

 

Awesome set by the way, still staring at the pictures.

Do you mean the black cartridges in the right of the picture? If so, those are M Network, a division of Mattel Electronics which also made Atari 2600 games. My understanding is the cartridge cases are very similar to Intellivision carts. I can't say for sure because I don't a Intellivision system

I believe they are M Network cartridges - ports of Intellivision games to the 2600

You should check one out, there pretty cool and cheap as well. That explains alot then. Mattel also did vcs games, Never knew that. Should have guessed cause frogs and flies is a frog bog port with dumbed down graphics for atari. Did the intellivision version come first?

Hey now. I like Frogs and Flies for the 2600 it's really fun in two player mode.

Oh no I absolutely love it as well my friend. Just implying that atari graphics are limited as oppose to intellivision (not by much). Love atari and frogs to death though.

Yes, I think nearly all of the MNetwork games were based on an existing Intellivision game (Air Raiders is the only one that comes to mind that I can't think of an Intellivision counterpart). Many of the games are very good. I personally think Space Attack is one of the most underrated games in the Atari library.
