thx1138 Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Very pleased with this, particulalry as I rarely get Saturdays free from work. Went to my local boot sale, it's always small but friendly and usually cheap. Anyway, today I got for £15 an Atari 2600 jnr, assorted Quickshot sticks and a 2 universal adators and a total of 31 loose carts. I'll list all the one's I can rememebr; Yars Revenge Crystal Castles Haunted House Return of the Jedi Death Star Battle Combat Battlezone Riddle of the Sphinx Berserk Q-Bert Mario Bros Defender Pac Man Cosmic Ark Smurfs Jnr Pac Man Pole Position Air Sea Battle Asteroids Casino Pitfall Hero Desert Falcon E.T Centipede Millipede Dark Chambers and a few more.

Atari-dj Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Fantastic find --- I haven't found anything in the UK for over a year now anywhere, except for that "Indy 500 manual and Pengo cart" which i found under a floor board of a house. Maybe your part of the UK has all the games Where abouts are you in the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx1138 Posted April 10, 2004 Author Share Posted April 10, 2004 I live in Bedford. Especially nice find for me, as I am an Atari "newbie" and only just got a woodie last month, and so for me there were only a few duplicates, the rest go straight into my collection.

Atari-dj Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Not too far from be at all (Peterborough) is where you will find me. Been collecting for a few years now have loads of stuff, finding it difficult to find stuff I haven't already got now though. Well done on your 31 game find - this is great fot the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx1138 Posted April 10, 2004 Author Share Posted April 10, 2004 Do you ever go to any real world auctions? I get stuff from them quite a bit too. In the last year I've bought quite a few classic and vintage computers etc, it's where I got my woodgrain from. In reality, about one week in six there is some retro stuff - I was once a porter at the auction house, and got a commodore pet for a couple of quid, and sold it for more than my wages. I've been checking the auction out every week since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
