I've been too busy at work to post till now, but here is the first batch of deals I got at Portland Retro Gaming Expo. Just the Atari 2600 stuff for now:

 

All these were $1 each:

 

Quick Step

Pitfall II

Popeye

Alien ( a bit beat up)

Entombed (bad end label)

Sears Spelling

Sears Target Fun

Tron Deadly Discs

Space Jockey

Superman

Laser Blast

GI Joe

California Games

Lost Luggage

Space Cavern red

Space Cavern Blue

Super Cobra (this is held together with duct tape, but I had a hankering to play it)

Coconuts

Sears Breakaway IV

Maze Craze

Maze Craze Text

Raiders of the Lost Ark (one of each label variation)

Worm War I

Fast Food (been having fun playing this one)

 

For $2 ea I got these CIB:

 

A very nice sealed Space Invaders

Spiderman (why couldnt others companies use boxes like Parker Bros?)

Very nice boxed Laser Blast

Starmaster

Sky Diver

 

I got a homebrew, Jack and the Beanstalk, which I haven't played yet, but it sounded cool for $25

 

And for $10, I got something I really wanted, a boxed Sears Star Raiders. The outer box is a little beat but the innards are all very nice! Now all I need is the comic. No earth-shattering deals, but lots of games to play!! I will post more later, Morgan

I picked up two games from my usual spot. I brought a couple odds and ends as trade and they didn't take much but I had enough for these. I thought that the King of Monsters 2 game was a bit better in terms of value and rarity but was mistaken, still happy though!

I went into to a stereo shop in Bridgeport(CT's biggest city, and arguably CT's most hood city), and to my surprise found a counter with OODLES of classic gaming stuff. Everything from the 2600 to the PS3, and plenty of games. I ended up buying Galactic Pinball and Warioland for virtual boy, Raiden for the Jag, Doom(I collect Doom and it's clones on any console) and Space Harrier for 32x for 20 bucks. Gotta go back and buy out his 2600 stuff after I get my check next week.

I think this is the most I've picked up in one morning. didn't go through anything yet and everything is quite dirty. but I paid $75.00 for all of this. the same person had a ton of NES stuff too which my friend picked up.

 

 

Amazing find! You don't see boxed Vic-20 games very often, congrats! :thumbsup:

Yes, that is a great score there. Did you find all of this in the wild? Around here, a bare colecovision alone runs about $75.00.

thanks! I live in SE Pa. it was at a multi family flea market/ yard sale. first my friend saw the Colecovision in the back of this dudes SUV. Then we kinda help ourself to everything else inside! lol. mind you this all took place at 5:30 am so all we had were our flash lights. The guy was really cool he was cleaning out his parents house and just wanted it all gone!

 

 

And yeah this was the first for picking up VIC boxed games for me!

Why the hell is CoCo stuff so common in your area.

 

LOL @ AX

 

I don't know. Although this is the first coco stuff I've found in a while in the wild. There is still an active local coco users group here in Windsor though. They meet, I believe, the 3rd Thursday of every month. I really would like to attend one, I should make an attempt to go.
