[stephini]

Hi I've just gotten into Atari 2600 gaming and after poking around found a few games I want especially Video Olympics I'd like to get as many of these from one source to save on shipping however depending on price may not be able to buy the whole lot at once. Willing to negotiate on everything. All initial offers are listed in USD

( 1.75 ) river raid
( 3.25 ) mario bros

( 1.00 ) yars' revenge
( 1.50 ) dig dug

The only one that is off, IMHO, is Dig Dug. It has a special chip in it, that I harvest in large quantities.

 

I have killed hundreds and hundreds of Dig Dug's over the years.

 

Good luck, I am sure multiple people have all of these. To me, they sit in a large box, waiting to be recycled for something new.

What's the special chip for?

I'd say repros, prolly Sirius and Plutos

Dig Dug and several other 2600 games contain a chip called SARA (128 bytes of extra RAM), it is used in some unreleased games as well as R.T.'s Seaweed Assault.

Got a counter bid?

It's obvious you especially want Video Olympics with that 25 cent offer

How much I want it does not affect how common it is. I am willing to negotiate on everything but I started my offers based on how common each title is according to a few different sources.

Edit: The first step to getting price gouged is to allow how much you want a game to determine the price. If there are 5 million atari collectors and 6 million copies of "foobar in rubiks town" I'm not paying you 100 dollars for it even if it's my favorite game in the world because if I wait patiently someone will be willing to sell it to me more reasonably.

It's weird like that still, you see, because there is a homebrew scene going on and everyone needs shells. There are some people who won't even let a cleaned shell go for less than $2.00. The parts are now worth more than a perceived value of a vintage game (made in millions), in many cases.

Don't these shells have to have push down bottoms?

[stephini]

Wouldn't it be cheaper to mold your own shells than destroying functional games? Like maybe not the first 1k or so times but once you have the mold made you can make an infinite amount from any plastics you can find and can thus massproduce inexpensively. Using real games only seems like it'd benefit the value obsessed collectors who may not even play the games.

I actually work in the plastics field. That would be VERY expensive. You can't just use any plastic you can find. Only certain plastics can be remolded.

 

You need more than just a mold. You need an extruder that melts the material and forces it into the mold as well. Unless you are making thousands of games it is not worth it. Plastic resin is not cheap either.

 

However an Atari cart is small enough I could possibly find it feasible to buy one of the small 3-d printers and make 2 halves of the case and put them together. I can see that possibly working.

 

Hmmmm I might start making nes cases
