today's thrift finds

[pmitch_3m]

after months of finding nothing, I stumbled across some games new to my collection:

 

Trick Shot

MB Spitfire

Racquetball

Worm War I

Zaxxon(cart - Atari 8-bit)

 

each were $2.

 

I also found a MIB C64 & Vic-20(with some carts). Anyone, have these? I did not get them cause I have a 800xl and have always been an Atari guy...any thoughts on picking these up. The C64 was $10 and the Vic $14.

Did it have an end label attached? Just curious.

no end label, but the game looks as though it has never been played.

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Thats probably why there isnt an end label

Actually, with the MB games, you had to put on the end label yourself.

I also found a copy of infiltrate with a NASTY old thing inside. I dont know what it was. It was either a 20 year old french fry or some sort of cocoon. And all this dirty that smelled like dog crap. I should have just thrown this cart away it was so nasty

Heh... I had a few Atari units donated to me for parts. I found a desiccated spider corpse inside one of the Jr's. Not very pleasant. :-P

I have found a few carts in the wild, but nothing to write here about.

Why don't we all use the "official thrift finds thread"?

I really like Brain Games! That cart really gets my keyboard clicking! I actually do pull it out about once everyother month and go at all the games!

I think that's what he was saying.

The copy I bought back in '97 or so had the end label intact.

 

However, my copy of Survival Run is missing the end label.

I scored a copy of Private Eye last weekend for about $2 Earlier that week, at a different game store, I found a 5200 Wico joystick, complete with the y-cords, for $10 (there were actually two complete joysticks, Swingtown took the other). Not too shabby, I think.
