freewheel Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I don't recall seeing a thread like this, but if there is one, mods please feel free to merge/delete. I'm thinking along the lines of "what are you playing lately" kinda threads... What is your most recent pickup/acquisition/haul/score? As in, what's the most recent Atari game(s)/gear that you've managed to add to the collection? I'm curious what the average collector is managing to pick up these days. I just grabbed a Pete Rose, boxed (and in incredibly good condition at that) for $10. Nothing staggering but I'm pleased with it. Fills another hole and it's not the kind of cart I see boxed very often. And this was from a store, which surprises me. Stores in Canada charge $5 for unboxed Combats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesL Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I picked up 3 loose 2600 carts at CCAG this past Saturday-Krull, Spider Fighter, and Steeplechase. All the vendors I dealt dealt with were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarian7 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 It's been so long I don't quite remember. I think it might have been a set of paddles to play Kaboom!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzillajoe Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I haven't bought anything Atari related in years. Aside from the odd homebrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24Fanatic365 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Still waiting for my Harmony Cart to hit my mailbox. I was hoping it would be in there today, but alas, disappointment! I also finally found a Slik Stik for less than the $20-30 I've been seeing lately on that auction site, so I've got 2 packages winging their way to me. Does that count as acquisition? Lol! Wish I would've seen the thread for two Tac 2 joysticks for a measly $25 earlier than I did, as they were already gone. (No surprise there! That was a steal on those) Don't know how I missed that one... Edited August 1, 2014 by 24Fanatic365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariTexas Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Complete boxed Tapper for the 2600 that was mixed in on an auction of boxed Colecovision games. Came out to 6 dollars when I averaged out the number of games with what I paid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24Fanatic365 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Both my Harmony cart AND my Slik Stik came in today. Gotta say the Slik Stik is quite a bit smaller than I had anticipated, but it works like a charm, and is extremely comfortable to use for an extended period. The Harmony Cart is phenomenal! About 3 minutes after I opened it up, I had my SD card loaded up with games and was playing away! Why didn't you guys warn me I would get absolutely nothing done once I had one of these things?! Lol! If you don't have one, or are unsure about them, I gotta say, "Order one TODAY!!!" You will NOT regret it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24Fanatic365 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Finally got some paddle controllers and a driving controller from the retro gaming shop in Arlington. That place is RIDICULOUS!! They have a butt ton of stock for everything from Pong to the current systems. Great prices, as well. Now if I could just figure out a way to use my Harmony Cartridge with these controllers without having to plug and unplug a joystick every time I want to change games...

AlecRob Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 JUST bought asteroids for 7800! Excited, since I sold all my 2600 copies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 For the 2600, it was probably a loose copy of Off The Wall and copies of Pac-Man, Asteroids, and Defender with repro/homemade red Atari Corp. labels I got a few months ago.I've mostly been getting XEGS games lately, although my collecting has slowed down considerably over the last few months since graduating. Over this summer I got Blue Max, Archon, Crime Buster, Lode Runner, David's Midnight Magic, Rescue On Fractalus, Ballblazer, and some others I'm forgetting. I did just buy a cheap lot of TRS-80 tapes a couple weeks ago, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
