kotmfu Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 So i went to my local pawn shop a couple of months ago looking at some old games and while doing so one of the workers mentioned a box of "crap" they had out the back if i wanted to have a look, seeing how i dont trust anyones eye for value i said sure . and this is what i found. 15 boxed atari 2600 games, most of them complete. And since i really dont have an eye for this myself, i was wondering if you guys can help me out and tell me if i got a sweet ass deal or not. I got: Action Force - Parker Reactor - Parker Mission Survive - Video Gems SteepleChase - Video Gems Cross Force - SpectraVision Threshold - TigerVision Mouse Trap - Coleco World Champ - Taito and the rest are atari branded games Space War Yars' revenge Outlaw Slotmachine Combat Street Racer Super Breakout I honestly was sold when i saw breakout, i love that game so much So, yeah thats it guys thanks in advance for any help you can give me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 It's a heck of a find, but not knowing what you paid for it I can't say if you got a good deal or not. But, the curiosity got the best of me so I resorted to Wicker/Brassard's price guide: Reactor - Parker $8 (complete) SteepleChase - Video Gems can't find "Video Gems" but SteepleChase by Sears is $28 (complete) Cross Force - SpectraVision $20 (complete) Threshold - TigerVision $40 (complete) Mouse Trap - Coleco $8 (complete) Slotmachine $5 the rest of the loose carts are $1-$2 I couldn't find anything on the other boxed titles you listed. Maybe they are for another system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kotmfu Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Super cool. i was looking at the web site and some of those games didnt have to scans on it (in the rarity guide bit) so ill go through and add them all when i get a chance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user42 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen scans of the Mission Survive box on the internets either. So that is definitely worth doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
