bobafett07728 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I have MEGA gaps in my common collection. Most of my games are from when I was growing up. I was able to pick up about 25 common carts at PhillyClassic, so I am not in as bad of shape as I was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisper Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I have been dieing to get my hands on a Riddle of the Sphinx Rarity 2!!! for the longest time (about 2 years). I just found it loose for $3. Well, technically I have that one (silver text label) but it's NTSC so I can't play it. I don't count it as being part of my collection.

bcostin Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Many missing commons here, too. No, Canyon Bomber, no River Raid, no Megamania, no Kaboom... Alas, I am but a pitiful, wretched, shell of a man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 I was just going through my list and was shocked to discover that I don't actually own a copy of "Swordquest : Fireworld". How many times must I have passed this one up while sorting through boxes of commons because I assumed that I already owned it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Even though I have 207 carts I still need 77 rarity 2's and 3's. Some of the super common carts I still need are Dragster, Hangman, Blue Print, Boxing(activision), and any Checkers game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otrfan Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 the most common games I don't have: ( all rarity 2 ) Gravitar Jr. Pac-Man Maze ( Sears ) Maze Mania ( Sears ) Megaforce Sneak n' Peek Super Baseball Super Football Tank Plus ( Sears ) Video Checkers I was proud of my Atari 2600 collection until I joined this forum. Now I see how it pales in comparison to others, it make me want to cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaster Posted April 17, 2004 Author Share Posted April 17, 2004 I was proud of my Atari 2600 collection until I joined this forum.Now I see how it pales in comparison to others, it make me want to cry. Don't be too hard on yourself. I thought I was hot stuff collection-wise until I got here too..... Nice thing about having some of these gaps is it gives you some easy wins to get. I acquired a bunch of rather rare stuff a month or so ago via the evil empire (eBay), but it seems that's run dry for now. I've been focusing on the common stuff and Sears variants I don't yet have, which fills that insatiable urge to collect in the meantime... And FWIW, I now own 2 copies of Pitfall. Anybody want the dupe?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iguana Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 It took me forever to find a ROTLA. BUt I got one. I am still looking for a No Escape. I loved that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari freak 1 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I still dont have Circus Atari (yet I have Circus by Zellers) and frogger (among many others, but those are the ones I really want for the playing aspect more than anything...I'm more of a player than a collecter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I just passed the 300 mark on NES carts this weekend and I'm still missing over three dozen NES "commons". I simply refuse to buy them as bare carts for three bucks or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATARIPITBULL Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I was starting to think that my collection was not as good as I would like it to be, but after reading some of your posts, I am doing better than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Nevada Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I don't own Defender or Missile Command. Thank goodness I have Combat and Pac-Man otherwise I'd be in really bad shape. Oh, and I don't have E.T. either. If they ever care to dig up the 5 million sitting in the NM desert, perhaps I'll take one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MilkMan Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 If you're talking about commons (as listed here on AA's guide 1s & 2s), I'm missing Crossbow Jr. Pac Man Mega Force Sneak N Peek Tank Plus Question, are rarities like 7s, 8s, considered common as well? I read some threads on this post where some 7s and 8s are missing from they're collection. I always thought that commons were the 1s & 2s...Common and Common+.

Whisper Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Those 7's and 8's were the most common carts they were missing Those people are just plain evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read some threads on this post where some 7s and 8s are missing from they're collection. I always thought that commons were the 1s & 2s...Common and Common+. No...you've got it right. 1 is ultra-common and 10 is ultra rare. Some folks just have been doing this for a while (or like to blow bucks on rare carts). I got my *first* Rarity 7 a month ago... I'm waiting for the schmuck who says "all I'm missing is the box for my Air Raid cart." Voch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
