Madaracs Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Just curious as to what cart/carts everyone is looking for & how long you have been looking for it? Crazy Climber. But I'm cheap so I won't pay $50 for it. Probably been seriously looking about 2 years but I've had my eye out for longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 My original 100 or so games and system with all the maps/etc.. I made as a kid. My Snoopy box I wrote Rad Racer on with marker, my storage box I lugged them around in and my original black and white TV I played them on. I know someone has it all, I want them back! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Sears Race picture label is the last Atari cart I'm (sort of) actively looking for. It's not hard to find or anything. It's just one of those games that I haven't acquired for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't that be a kicker if you somehow were able to actually get them back? I know they are out there, nobody would just throw them away. Most likely everything in my original lot has been long parted out though by collectors/sellers. I am just waiting for the Ebay auction that has all my original stuff, but I probably already missed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer4x4 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 My current goal is to find a Custer's Revenge in the wild for cheap! I knew a guy that had that back in the 1980s, and it was the funniest thing I ever saw at the time. That is the only Adult title I am interested in. I recently got a ChuckWagon for fairly cheap and it was on my want list because I also remember it being available back then. I'd say my other main want is replacing anything I used to have which is down to 1) Gameline Modem (I tore it apart decades ago) 2) Gremlins (traded it in part for original Stella CD) 3) Spy Hunter (returned it to store because I thought it totally sucked) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSpaceFan Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I spent about two years searching for a Pressure Cooker without any acti-plaque on it and gave up. And to those who say all Activision carts have it, my Frost Bite and Kaboom look very very clean. But for whatever reason Pressure Cooker seemed to have attracted acti-plaque like bees to honey. Now that I have a Harmony cart, I have a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) After owning nearly ALL of the NTSC (and better PAL) releases at one time and then getting rid of half of 'em - I'm pretty much done collecting for the 2600. I'll still spring for homebrews of course - but really, the only cart I sorta kinda keep my eye out for in the wild would be Chase The Chuckwagon. I have zero desire to pay big bucks for one, but finding that particular title for next to nothing at a GoodWill, Flea Market or wherever still has appeal. Probably just because during the Usenet/Deja-News days, we all talked about how that was damn near *the* most elusive title to find that way and thus was born the phrase of "chasing the chuckwagon" as a metaphor for hunting Atari games in the wild. lol Edited September 10, 2010 by save2600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chances of some mom cleaning out the attic and dumping one of these at GW or SA is next to nil. With the advent of mass media, even the Air Raid auction made my local news, so basically everyone is in the know about rare video games. The sad part is that most assume they have massively valuable collections (take a look at all the "rare" descriptions on eBay sometime) when in reality they have a bunch of commons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wait, you'll probably eventually be able to snag a nice one for $10.00 total. Anyway, good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss 2600 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 There's a few cartridges I would like to have but I'm not constantly pursuing or thinking about them. Halloween would be on the top of the list but I don't want to spend a ton. Chase the Chuckwagon with a nice label and Custer's Revenge with box would be cool to have as well. Mangia would be way out of my price range. I just think the graphics are cool. Right now I'd rather buy a few homebrews or other stuff with the money I'd have to spend on those cartridges.

MagitekAngel Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Honestly most of the games I want to get my hands on are the common cartridges, the ones that you can find for 50 cents even on eBay. I'm not really into plunking hundreds of dollars on ultra-rare games that aren't actually all that fun: I just want to play games. I started collecting Atari 2600 games a little over a year ago, and so far I only have about 35 games, and not a single one of them is boxed. What do I want to get my hands on next? How about Galaxian - or maybe Battlezone? I admire and respect the guy who has the entire Atari library on a mahogany shelf, but in my case, I'm really just in it to play games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 You should just buy a harmony cart and be done with it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2600Lives Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'd like all of the Mystique/Playaround games, just for the "holy shit!" value when I show friends. I don't actually own a single one (my rarest 2600 cart is a Harbor Escape, so yeah, not into tossing the big bucks around for 2600 carts), but would love to have them.

Fixitguy74 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'd have to say the games I seek the most are the copies of E.T. in the New Mexico land fill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) The Harmony cart has largely sated my desire to collect for the 2600, a desire which was never that strong to begin with: when it comes to the VCS, I'm much more a player than collector. Having said that, I'd be pretty pleased if I found a copy of Rescue Terra I, which is the only rare game that's really intrigued me. I'd also like to get back my copy of Cosmic Swarm, which my mom gave away (along with the majority of our VCS games) in the early '90s, and which is the rarest VCS cart I've ever owned.

Red 5 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Berenstain Bears with tapes. I also have decided that Espial should be a rarity 11. NTSC Obelix. Out of Control, Boing, Halloween, Rescue Terra... You know, all the cheap stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tremoloman2006 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Basic Math in box, regular version (not gatefold)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougy76 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 1984 release (Atari Inc.) of Stargate CIB. Anyone actually have one? I can only find the later Atari Corp. releases boxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
