How has your collecting gone this week?

[ATARIPITBULL]

I got a few nice items for my collection:

 

1) A complete atari 2600 system in a promo box.

 

2) London Blitz complete in the box.

 

3) Hero complete in the box.

 

4) SC baseball from Teleygames complete in the box. ( I do have a question for any one here who can answer it. Why does this game from Teleygames come in a box that looks just like a M network game box?).

 

5) Radar lock complete in the box.

 

6) International Soccer new in the box from Teleygames.

 

7) A video tape of atari comercials.

 

A set of atari paddles controllers in the silver Atari box.

 

how have you guys done?

I bought a NES (yet another non-working one ) along with around 150 games, only 10 of which I already owned for $50 at a yard sale

Holy crap nice one! You never, ever see that where I live. Everyone trades their stuff in to gamestop.

telegames bought the rights to those m-network games. my guess is that they were lazy with the box artwork and just replaced the m-network logo with their telegames-usa logo. other boxes like soccer, they completely changed the box artwork.

 

the quintana roo box from telegames is extremely similar to the sunrise box.

Awful.

And it may continue to worsen.

I'm sure that as soon as I have a dollar in my wallet I'll find an Atari cart (or 2)

and I'll suddenly stop saving

 

But I really need to save my pennies now, so I'm cutting back to 1 game a fortnight.

My collecting has slowed since my wife and I bought a house recently. I haven't really had much extra time to go to flea markets or thrifts since we moved. I have managed to find a loose copy of M.A.D. and a couple interlocking cart holders by making some extra stops on my way home from work though.

[robsbucs]

Not so good. The games im looking for no one has or if they do they are outragiously expensive. Kinda stuck right now!!

[MattyXB]

Nothing since month. But I buy in the moment many other stuff. Some videos from Lion King and many from the TV series Leo the Lion (Kimba, the white Lion), great series.

 

For my NES I get 3 pirate games (these like japanese carts). Terminator 3, and some Multicartridges. But nothing importent. Most on these Multicarts are only 5 games and the others are all hacks.

[Redcurrie]

My accumulated haul was an NES Power Pad, 1 NES game, 3 Sega Master System games with boxes, instructions and posters, an NES/Sega cleaning kit, a TurboGrafx game, a Pokemon Gold and Silver Strategy Guide/Walkthrough book and a working Sega Genesis with 2 controllers and all cables for a total of $23. Most of this I bought for trading so if anyone is interested, PM me! By the way, how many classic gaming systems does a person need? I bought several systems "to resell" but found that I can't detach myself from them as I keep saying that I need to compare the same game on different platforms......anyone else out there with this problem?

ive done pretty bad lately

 

since im not really collecting anymore

 

except for the occassional purchase on ebay

[Cassidy Nolen]

Got an empty box for Wall Ball thanks to a trip to Dan Cage's place...story to come (now if I get a cart, I dont have to open my sealed one to play),

 

Sealed London Blitz, Wizard of Wor in box, Qbert Atari red label in box (thanks to the mighty CPUWIZ), found some neat manuals I had lying around. I guess that counts, if you never knew you had something and then you find it? I also got Freakstyle for GC.

 

Saving for a new car right now. Anyone want to by my Vette?

Absolutely nothing. I've been in a slump for months. I visit thrift store on a weekly bases and the flea markets when I can spare the time but it's like theres an atari group that knows where the games are and gets them before anyone else. The place is dry.

[BeerGnome]

I did some light weight hunting on moday to pass the time.. my in pocket funds were dorrily lavking so it was for the best that I came up0 for naught..

now..if I had a 5200 console.. I wouldve had a very good day... thank goodness that one place I frequent doesnt do any buisness on carts besides me

 

hmm..perchance some one wants to sell a spare 5200 or a philips cd-i...

What 5200 titles did you pass up?

[donkeykong1]

i too have hundreds of games and many systems but i'm always comparing them all and can't seem to decide what to sell.

[donkeykong1]

i just registred today, but seeing this question i would have to say that about a month ago i bought the odyssey 1 which was near mint in the box with everything that it came with( 6 games, 2 controls, tv/game box, all overlays for tv, poker chips, funny money, all paperwork, and a bunch of other stuff that it comes with, no power cord though as it is an option to buy seperate because it uses batterries.) to top it off, i got four other games in their boxes with all overlays and paperwork. all of this for $25.00 i was very happy all day long

i got a loose cart of "sprint master" and a 2600 darth vader, 8 euros for all.

Thena some bid in ebay, but i don't get the stuff yet...

[MegaManFan]

Nothing new Atari this week. Just a bunch of NES games.

[wrldstrman]

Last few months picked up bumper bash.water world ,boing,video cube,piece o cake,road runner,springer,2 polaris, a boxed atari 2600 plus 20 boxed games for 31.00.sega saturn,dreamcast,and the best crazy climber for 2 dollars. Sad thing there is a boy in my area that hits every yard sale flea market auction and you can say Iam full of it but He has picked up probally 100 game systems and thousands of games this summer.Ive seen him with boxes of atari games nintendos magnbox top loading nintendo, you got the time its out there.

[Dolt]

I got about 5 low-rarity games in the boxes yesterday--stuff like Golf, Othello, and Night Driver--and then I got another 6 or so boxes like Laser Blast and Video Olympics without games. Those were beat up but I got them for $2 a piece, so it was worth it to me. While I have 333 carts, collecting stuff in the box is pretty new to me, so getting 10-12 boxes is a big deal to me. Go figure.

[Godzilla]

this week? hmmm... my collecting hasnt gone well enough to talk about it in terms of weeks in many years, thats how well its going....

[Cassidy Nolen]

Welcome DK!

 

What boxed Odyssey games did you get? I am missing a few and would love to get some. Maybe trade for some stuff?

 

Sorry to post as a reply, but don't know if a new user knows about PM yet.
