iesposta Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 If you still owned a bit or classic gaming stuff before restarting collecting or playing Atari 2600, what is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 I had a Defender and an E.T. cartridge, an Arcadia Supercharger by Starpath, the ball and the grip from a Wico 3-way (still haven't found a replacement 3-way Wico), and an Expansion Module #1 (2600 module) for ColecoVision. Right before getting the collecting bug, I had trashed a bunch of Atari 8-bit computer magazines and books and a broken, fried by me, 800XL. I am still positive I have my Starpath Supercharger cassettes somewhere, along with my Intellivision 2 console, but I haven't found them in the basement yet.

Zwackery Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I started actively collecting back in 1993, so before that I had kept all my Atari 2600 carts (maybe 30 or so, loose carts & manuals), my Colecovision console with VCS expansion module and about 45 or so loose (with manuals) CV carts, and my Vectrex with Scramble CIB.

iesposta Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 If only I hadn't moved a few times and had given up a storage unit... I also have my original Vectrex, light pen, artmaster, animaction, polar rescue with cut up overlay, Star Trek w/box. I think that was it for original. The next thing I purchased was Sean Kelly's Vectrex Multicart in 1999. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHATETHEBEARS Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I had 153 games from back in the day before I started collecting again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleman jack Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) A few Wico Boss joysticks were all that was left. But they're still working and in good shape. Edited August 4, 2014 by littleman jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Still had the Odyssey 1, Vic 20, C64 (with of course all games and accessories) and probably the NES by the time I finally went "hey, 2600 stuff is cheap and I remember playing all this!". 1989-90. There was a weird store where I lived that sold comics, records - and video games of literally every type (all of 2 generations at that time, really). I still have a few carts with the prices from back then. It sure was weird to see a store selling 10 year old games back then - or hell, used games, period. Not so much today. Of course I had zero clue what was rare, so I just re-bought Missile Command, Yars', Asteroids, Warlords, etc. The obvious choices. And most expensive as they were the most popular even at that point. They probably had a ton of rarity 7-8 stuff sitting there for a buck.

Thibr Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 A Darth Vader, an heavy sixer and around 20 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeETC Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 E.T. and a bunch of NES sports games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Found Q-Bert, Grand Prix and Time Race in a drawer while sorting stuff in my parents' house in Nov 2012. Caught the virus, and these three are now the core of a 180-games 2600 collection, and also a few dozen each of NES, SNES, SMS and Mega Drive. A Philips G7000 (aka Odyssey II) will soon be joining the force if I can repair it. Edited August 7, 2014 by karokoenig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgr1973 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I never got rid of my Atari stuff, and still own all of my original games except for Math Gran Prix and Demon Attack. I traded those to my cousin for Popeye back in the day. I've managed to find them again, so no sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
