AtariLeaf Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Don't have them anymore but I'd say the two K-Tel Vision games - Spider Maze and Vulture Attack - followed by Bumper Bash. Sold all 3 to the same AA member actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purduecrum Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 WHY ARE WE SHOUTING? I CAN READ YOUR POST JUST FINE. Video Cube Subterranea (probably hardest of the three to get due to demand) Tapper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20ohm20 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 A loose James Bond 007 is probably my rarest 2600 cart. But I really don't actively collect them anymore, given the price I paid for them in the mid-1990's vs. now. I think a "WHICH GAME DO YOU HAVE THE MOST DUPLICATES OF" (all caps added for effect) thread would be more festive. I have 11 2600 Pac-Man's. Yay me!

8th lutz Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 My rarest non homebrew Atari game is a loose Q*bert's Qubes for Atari 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Right now it is Miner 2049er part 2. I used to have X-Man, Vulture Attack and Quadrun for the rarity 9 scale. I never owned any 10's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatefulGravey Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Probably R6 stuff. Cosmic Swarm, Tapper, things like that. When I decided I wanted to actually collect for the 2600 I decided to start at the bottom so I'm just making my way up to R6. There are a few gaps from R2 - R4 but not too many and I'll fill them soon enough, R5 and R6 are recent additions to the list of things I'm actively looking for. Of coarse I'm also giving a lot of thought to expanding my NES collection back to what it was a while back. This may slow my 2600 roll a little. I spent a year on the 2600 I think I can afford to spend a few months on the NES now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchysuperman Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Sold off most of my crazy rare stuff. Such money is put to much better uses in my life these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollowBeers Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I had Air Raid (#11 on the list) for about a year before selling it last April ('10). Atari Video Cube and River Raid 2 are my rarest ones these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Boing! and Smurfs Save The Day. Otherwise, a lot of R6s like Cosmic Corridor, Cosmic Swarm, Subterranea, Spike's Peak/Artillery Duel, Scuba Diver, Frogger II, River Raid II... I have no idea if it counts, but I have a Magicard repro as well. Also, there was some discussion at one point about the rarity of Silver Label Asteroids...where did we land on that? I've got two. I don't actively collect 2600 games as much anymore since most of the holes left in my collection are at least moderately expensive to fill. I'll just kind of pick one up here and there. It's kind of interesting how the prices of games change. Some games are more expensive on average (I think we've simply seen a shift of the Atari 2600 demand curve over the last decade...what's average price of a common game now, $2 to $5 maybe? As opposed to $0.50 to $1 a decade ago? Of course, inflation is always a factor, too.), while many rare games like Chase The Chuckwagon, Xenophobe, Atari Video Cube, Ikari Warriors are apparently nowhere near as rare/valuable as once thought, and are substantially cheaper than they ever used to be. I still remember seeing Chuckwagon in a store about 10 years ago for $300; in the last year or two I've seen it go for $75, although it's been creeping up around the $100 mark lately.

rolenta Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I guess my rarest would be an original Magicard, complete with manual and keyboard controller overlays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRAPOCALYPSE Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Currently no escape r4 but i am bidding on a time warp in good condition as we speak which receives an r5 form this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also did find another R5 - "Tax Avoiders" which is about 100 times more fun than it sounds..... .....and by the way, Mr. Do's Castle must be the most common R8 out there, I think a lot have hit the market from somewhere in the last few years.

dooglehead Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 My rarest is probably Cannon Man (R6). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss 2600 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I don't have anything super rare. I have Guardian (R8) which I found in the wild. I also found the manual to Swordquest: Waterworld in the wild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
