Atari_Bill Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Welp, I finally made the jump into Aquarius. 3 games (Snafu, Astrosmash, and Treasure of Tarmin) and a mini expander, all boxed and complete for $15. The game boxes are in middling shape, but the mini expander is pretty decent. Now I just have to find a goddamn computer. I've always avoided this one due to stupid high prices around me, but what the heck. The last time I saw an Aquarius cart in the wild had to be 15 years ago. At the time I had no idea wtf it was for (pretty sure it was a memory expander, which wouldn't trigger a connection with any particular computer). Wish like hell I had picked it up given how rare this stuff seems to be. Congrats! The AD&D cart is worth much more than that all by itself It's one of the tougher ones to find for the system. Many of the others games aren't too hard to find with the exception of Burgertime, Melody Chase, Zero In, and Space Speller. Burgertime is findable, but the others are next to impossible to come across at any price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Does anyone have a spare loose Snafu Aquarius cart? I have the box, manual, and overlays...just need the cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Melody Chase, Zero In, and Space Speller. Burgertime is findable, but the others are next to impossible to come across at any price. I think I've literally seen the first three only come up for sale once. Burgertime shows up but it's consistently $80 or so. I'm still missing one game for a complete collection if I recall and I think it might be Chess? I need to pull these back out and check.

I never managed to find any of the gold catalogs. I'm also missing the manual for Super Cobra, if you have an extra you'd like to sell.

ACFinPGH Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Picked up a pile of games today at a used CD store. Sadly they weren't cheap ($76+tax for this batch) but all are CIB and in VG or better shape. My eyes almost fell out of my head when I saw all the CIB Intellivision games they had (probably 40 or so), but these were the only reasonably priced ones. $85 for Worm Whomper, $50 for River Raid, Zaxxon, Dracula, etc. is a bit too much. I was hoping they had some kind of rare variant they wouldn't know about but I didn't see anything that I recognized. Pretty jazzed just to see these in a store. I'm going to put my other copy of Sewer Sam (in G to VG condition) in the marketplace if anyone is looking for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that River Raid was in good shape, $50 would have been a really good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACFinPGH Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Nice pickups. If that River Raid was in good shape, $50 would have been a really good price. Hmmm...maybe I'll have to swing back by and pick it up. There was also a $20 copy of Chip Shot Golf that was in pretty good shape. Wish I would have taken a pic of everything. The store is a bit out of the way...although I did chat with the clerk when I was there and he said the stuff had been there since May, so maybe no hurry?

+JasonlikesINTV Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) I didn't buy these, but found some Intellivision carts in the wild (@Goodwill brick & mortar in St Louis) They had these behind the counter (scratchy counter) and were asking $3 each. Too pricey for a rescue. I'll save them for a lucky re-seller who can then turn a fat profit on eBay. "You know these vintage games go for hundreds online!" One was unlabeled, though. Maybe I'll pick that one up tomorrow. Is $3 worth the chance that it's a rare one? Probably not since it's an older screwed together cart.
