high voltage Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) Atari: 29 Atari/Lucasfilm: 2 Activision: 13 Big Five: 2 CBS: 5 Electra Concepts: 1 Parke Bros: 12 Sega: 4 Sunrise Software: 1 Trying to get slowly my 5200 collection up to date. Got 29 carts so far, some boxed, many cart-only. CX5202 Missile Command CX5203 Super Breakout CX5206 Galaxian CX5207 RealSports: Football CX5208 Pac-Man CX5209 RealSports: Baseball CX5210 Countermeasure CX5212 Qix CX5213 RealSports: Soccer CX5214 RealSports: Tennis CX5217 Pole Position CX5218 Defender CX5221 Berzerk CX5229 Kangaroo CX5243 Ms. Pac-Man CX5247 Mario Bros. CX5254 Rescue on Fractalus! CX5255 ballblazer FZ 005 The Dreadnought Factor FZ 006 Keystone Kapers FZ 007 H.E.R.O. FZ 010 Zenji FZ 012 Space Shuttle: A Journey into Space BF 1912 Miner 2049er 4L 2714 Blueprint 9040 Star Wars: The Arcade Game 004-02 Star Trek: Strategic Operations Sim. 006-02 Congo Bongo 1603 Quest for Quintana Roo Read that the Electra game is mostly never to be found, due to small sales. What are the next rare games after Meteorites, Bounty Bob, Pengo? Hm, just checking ebay USA, Pac-Man $2000? Berzerk $900?

+DamonicFury Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Yes, 69 original releases is the right number (nice.) Bounty Bob is the real holy grail of that bunch, with even a loose cart being very hard to get and a boxed one being extremely difficult. After that is Meteorites, which is certainly not easy to find, but much easier than Bob. After those two, it gets much easier, with almost nothing that can't be had for under $50 loose. Games like Quest for Quintana Roo, Zaxxon, H.E.R.O., K-Razy Shootout, Frogger II, and Death Star Battle would all fall into this next tier of rarity. Btw, Pengo isn't all that rare, boxed copies can be had on Ebay for 30$. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Decathlon is one that's been eluding me for years. Seems to be rarer than you'd think. Robotron is another one I need boxed but it's not all that hard to find, just more expensive than it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Yeah, it's probably worth mentioning that completing a boxed collection is a good bit harder than it used to be, even compared to just a few years ago. I'm grateful that users here nudged me to get boxes for my collection back when it was more affordable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I believe all I'm missing is BBSB Zaxxon (have the loose cart) Zenji (have the loose cart) SW DSB (have the loose cart) Decathlon (have the loose cart) Robotron (have the loose cart) Beamrider (my cart has no circuit board!) So really I have an almost complete loose collection (minus BBSB) but I'm missing a handful of boxes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ryan Witmer Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I'm only going for carts, and have nine more to go. I always find one that I'm missing at PRGE, so it's a shame it's been canceled the last couple years. I'm missing: Gorf K-razy Shoot Out James Bond Frogger 2 Death Star Battle Zaxxon Quintana Roo Meteorites Bounty Bob Someday I'll get there, doing better than my Master System collection, that's for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I was trying for the full collection and am down to missing Bounty Bob’s box and manual as well as the manual for Frogger II. I accept that I probably won’t ever get the BBSB stuff, but hoping to get that last Parker Brothers manual someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the answers. So, 40 games to go to get to 69 Basically, like the 2600, probably you cannot finish the 5200 collection nowadays, unless with real luck. My boxed ones are Congo Bongo, both Lucasfilm, Qix, Galaxian and funnily enough, I've got a box for A.E. (no game) Might get the VCS adapter. I also saw that there's Real Sports Football, Real Sports Soccer, and Football, Soccer (same games) Edited June 29, 2021 by high voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGHMW Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 You know over in the rest of the world RealSports Soccer and/or Soccer would've been released as "RealSports Football" or "Football" because that is the world's name for "The World's Game", and since I am a connoisseur of the Premier League (Arsenal fan, COYG!!!) and football on the pitch as well as that on the gridiron, that if it somebody released it over in Europe/the UK or anywhere else in the world besides the US and Canada that it would be known as "RealSports Football", it would just be that on the pitch as opposed to that on the gridiron. I have seen that same thing done with Intellivision or the 2600 for that matter with European releases of their titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Indeed, Konami shot themselves in the foot as Disney Sports Soccer for the GameCube was released in Europe as Disney Sports Football and then Europe never got what could have been released as Disney Sports American Football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only really touch the ball to your foot for kick off, and the rest of the time try not to drop it. should be called Handball... soccer being called football makes so much more sense. (I am from the US and can admit our mistakes) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I am from the US and can admit our mistakes) yea i agree with you american football evolved too much originally you could only pass latterally and kick forward now the game is just "forward passes" i guess passball or pushball or pigskin anyname would be better it would be awesome if the only way to pass forward was to drop kick it and i personally dont think the thing they play with is really a "ball" but i'm sure we could find other examples of thing that we name weird just think about the word screen now we call any video visual display a screen it makes no sense all because inside a crt there was shadowmask that looked similar to a windowscreen to keep bugs out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Might be just 69 games but don't forget to collect all the different Atari Corp releases and no name Vanguard too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLurker Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I have 65 of the 69 games. I am missing Bounty Bob Strikes Back, Meteorites, K-Razy Shootout and Zenji. I most likely will never own Bounty Bob Strikes Back or Meteorites due to the exorbitant cost. K-Razy Shootout and Zenji I believe are obtainable but costly. Some games like K-Razy Shootout and Pac-Man have graphical glitches when played on my Atarimax so I had a reproduction carts made and the repro carts play perfectly.

0078265317 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I am also missing 13. http://mvvg.blogspot.com/2020/03/myv5200-games-collection.html?m=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+swlovinist Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I have enjoyed collecting for the Atari 5200. I have a boxed set but have some boxes that I am currently upgrading and still going for some variants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) I have the full set loose, but have been trying to get all boxes except for bbsb. The one that’s causing me fits is Megamania. It’s the last Activision I need and when one does show up, it’s listed at least $300.

Like I just spend 300 bucks on a ton of Pathfinder books from Paizo... vs one old game that is already on my flash cart Yeah, I've been tempted to try and get the whole 5200 collection, but the prices are ridiculous.
