And I did so a couple of days ago. ? So now I guess my Top Five Most Wanted list looks something like: K-Razy Shoot-Out Star Wars: Death Star Battle Beamrider Zenji Zone Ranger Meteorites and Bounty Bob don't make the cut due to slim chances of actually getting copies. Here is beam rider. Is 30 too much? https://www.amazon.com/Beamrider/dp/B000G9680G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least this seller does have a pic and describes things truthfully. Most of the time the descriptions are not that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 So finally found a zenji. Made an offer and he countered 47.99. Is 48 dollars fair for a loose zenji. Or too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClassyGamer Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I recently got my 5200 out of storage and started looking into what all was out there for it. I must say a lot has changed since the last time I paid it any real attention. As a result there have been a lot of games released that I would like to get. Out of the original releases I don't have all that many, but as far as something I would really like to get and play, would be Meteorites, as Asteroids was one of my favorite games on the 2600. Maybe I should have just left it in storage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to get something that allows you to play any and every game released so far... Harvey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found zenji to be the third hardest to find 5200 game, behind bounty Bob and meteorites, though a nice thing about zenji and the other rarer Activision games is the boxes are interchangeable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I have many commons and some uncommons... like River Raid, Pengo and Robotron. Yet I'm missing Joust, Kangaroo, Space Dungeon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybird3rd Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Wow, I didn't realize that 5200 Zenji had gotten so expensive! I have an extra CIB copy that I should list here in the Marketplace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymike673 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Not sure where to post this but there were actually two versions of Bounty Bob for sale. The second version included the cartridge for Miner 2049er. A sticker on the box gave this information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Is this a repo or the real deal? https://www.ebay.com/itm/ATARI-5200-METEORITES-Game-only-Very-Good-Condition-Electra-Concepts-1983-rare/184312916849?hash=item2ae9e7eb71:g:n9UAAOSwDFxexcpB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ave1 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) I got 5200 Zenji off Ebay (cart only) for $20 shipped in April of 2019. Honestly, I think that $48 is reasonable for Zenji these days... Edited June 7, 2020 by ave1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would certainly request additional images before considering a purchase. I have seen repro carts on Ebay and none of them resembled the carts that claimed to be authentic.
