How many Atari Carts do you have?

[rogueleader]

Continuing a post below... How many Atari carts 2600, 7800, and 5200 together do you have? I used to have over 200 but sold some because I needed cash and had a bizzare idea of 'repopulating' the stock of games out there. (i.e. I thought if I let a bunch of them go, I might find a bunch of new ones, and it kinda worked!)

 

Anyhow, I now have something like 170 games.

 

I have a friend who has over 400 unique carts!

 

Lets see who around here has the most unique cartridges!

[gamerz]

210 unique, and over 400 altogether.

[MattG/Snyper2099]

I can answer that: Marco does!

 

 

 

I have a mere 504 right now.

[kyle]

Counting both 2600 and 7800 games i have about 250 unique games.

[Christophero Sly]

643 unique cartridges.

[rogueleader]

643 unique cartridges.

 

Wow! is that counting hombrews or hacks? are you counting label variations? I just recently typed the atari age rarity guide into my palm pilot (one game at a time, it took for ever!) I consolidated label variations and things like sears/atari versions. That number is close o the number of 2600 carts I entered, plus 60 some 7800's. That is impressive!

[bond007pr]

around 150 2600 carts here

[homerwannabee]

I have over 207 unique games for the NTSC that are non homebrew non prototype. I will not count label variations. If it is the same game but made by a different company then I will count that.

[ATARIPITBULL]

At last count, I have around 450 unique complete in box, NTSC games just for my atari 2600 collection, I still have more games coming and I have yet to collect a single PAL 2600 game.

This question comes up fairly regularly and I never know exactly how to answer it. Your question was phrased as '# of carts', not '# of games', so the figure of 643 includes some major label variations. I would guess that the # of unique games I own for these three Atari systems is somewhere around 450, give or take.

I have zero idea. I got a lot. Never counted. Plus, like I always say... they're spread out over 7000 miles

[sku_u]

Across all three, I have 862 unique carts.

[Mindfield]

Current 2600 count:

 

227 Unique (excluding label variations, pirates/rebrands with the same name, etc.)

279 including label variations, pirates/rebrands, etc.

355 in total, including dupes.

Question: How many Atari Carts do you have?

 

Answer: Not enough.

[Whisper]

60-ish. Including some label variations and doubles, not many though. I just started collecting. See the link in my signature for the titles.

[jetset]

2600 - 318 carts

5200 - 82 carts

7800 - 34 carts

 

All unique except for a dozen or so Sears titles.

[Voch]

274 Atari 2600 carts (269 unique, 5 duplicates)

356 Atari carts (2600/5200/7800/Atari 8-bit)

456 total carts (including Intellivision, Odyssey2, ColecoVision too)

 

I just bought my second Iris storage drawer set for this stuff.

 

Voch

[Dr Galaga]

Over 225 unique 2600 games

[povlok1]

god... no idea.. for I have like 150 brazil carts.. most all the atari ntsc's up to rarity of 8.. including label variations.. most all the 5200's except bounty.. most the 7800's.. err.. and with the 'stock' carts.. god.. no idea.. id have to guess around 700 unique 2600 counting the brazils.. and 2500-3000 total? getting ready to liquidate alot of the stock units though..

[Marco]

I have 2,000 Atari 2600 games and they're all unique to me

 

Cheers,

Marco

I've been collecting for about one year now and only have 94 Atari 2600 carts(23 rarity 5-9). Then again, atari isn't pokemon to me so I don't have to catch them all. I try to get fun games and I've bypassed a lot of dollar carts that I know are just crap. Though I overlook the entertainment factor when a game is rare. In the future most of my cartridge buying will be for only for rare titles.

[Rocko]

Double post.

[Rocko]

Uh,

 

Including Lynx and Jaguar: 20

 

Not Including Lynx and Jaguar: 12

[UK WOMBLE]

For the 2600, my list says just shy of a 1000 including doubles, about 650 different ones, although I think a few are region differences and label variations, so most likely around 600.

 

I have a few 7800 carts which Im told wont play as theyre ntsc

 

And maybe a half dozen jag games, I dont collect them but like to play them occasionally, must get cannon fodder though as thats what I bought it for to be fair. Have 2 jag consoles boxed, 1 is unused, but only like 5 games, odd ???

I never quite knew how to answer this question. The decision that I finally came to is that label variations within the same company (i.e. – the four "Space Invader" carts that I own) only count as one unique game. Company variants of the same game, however, (i.e. – Coleco and Atari "Donkey Kong") count as two unique games. Picture / name variations within company (i.e. – "Football : Real Sports Soccer" and the regular "Real Sports Soccer") also count as two separate games. I am also slowly replacing my text labels with picture ones.

 

Based upon this criterion and including homebrews, hacks, repros, and Brazilian carts, I have a grand total of 319 unique games.
