Schitti Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 At that price, you can not go wrong. Be sure that the joysticks are working. a 5200 would be nice for 25$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accousticguitar Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 If it works $25 is a fair price for either the 2600 or the 5200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raskar42 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 $25 is a nice price for any 2600 model and would be a bargain price for a 6 switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowCoder Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I see no one's told you yet that $25 for a 2600 is a good, fair (even a bargain for a 6-switcher) price for a 2600. And a 5200? $25 for a 5200 would be a good price too. ... seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychoKittyNet Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Agreed, awhile back I got a four switch woody and about 7 games for 30 and that was a good deal. Go for it, the 2600 is one of my favorite systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young_Atari_Collector Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 She said it is a system with like 20-30 games (its from her childhood) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young_Atari_Collector Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Yeah i just have to wait a few days for her to pull it out hope games are CIB or have the instruction manual at least and the system does have the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tz101 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 $25 is a sweet deal, especially if some games are involved. 5200 would be the cat's meow for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychoKittyNet Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 $25 is a sweet deal, especially if some games are involved. 5200 would be the cat's meow for that price. It's a phrase, meaning really awesome. Most 2600 games don't really need manuals, as they are not very complex. They have them scanned here as well. But 25 for that lot and the system is boxed? Color me jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algus Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Congrats. The 5200 would be a steal but the controllers for that are a little dicey. The 2600 is terrific. Be prepared if you haven't played games that old before though, 2600 games are a lot different than newer games and sometimes you pretty much need to read the manual to get a game set up properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young_Atari_Collector Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 I haven't played games as old as the atari but i have played the NES (I am a collector and Light Rifle from Nintendo Age) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 That was a nice deal. It's amazing, and very nice, to see people even today buying and playing a VCS for the first time. With any luck, considering so many carts are included, you should end up with at least a handful of the classics/greats. Once you find out what carts you have, I've got a couple of commons I'd be willing to sell you REAL cheap if you don't have any of em.

atarigal Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I have some doubles and triples of commons too you could have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 If those games have been sitting in a garage a long time, you might want to clean the chips inside with anhydrous alcohol and a cotton swab before inserting them into your console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
