InanimateCarbonRod Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I currently have 109 unique NTSC Carts. Been slowly collecting for over a year. My short term goal is to collect all the Rarity 1's and 2's (as of today, that's 193 carts). I have a long way to go yet..... I've built an Access Database to catalog them all. It's fun to go through and record the label condition, rarity, etc. It's a great hobby. Now if only I had the time to play those games....

Cassidy Nolen Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 After a frustrating evening trying to do a database, heres the best I can figure... In my collection: Atari 2600: (obviously with some dupes-all variants ie; silver label Gravitar, Gatefolds, etc) Boxed titles: 320 Loose titles: 225 145 of those are boxed Atari proper, rest are mix of brands In total, I have 1188 carts, 653 are boxed for 40 different platforms. Rest are loose and about half (little less) have manuals. I have an additional 120+ in my trade bait pile. I am not counting those, as they are all dupes without some variation Cassidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaga_Freak Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 For the 2600: 226 Boxed 73 Loose 139 Extras/Variants So says my database, not counting stuff on the way All but 10 or so Intellivision games mostly boxed as well. I need a bigger house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindy Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 ..... you guys own a lot of games. I own 24 and I think 5 of them do not work anymore. I don't know about everyone else but as a kid I remember that those games were expensive.... well from a little kid's perspective. I would have been so grateful to own over a hundred.

ANTHONY ATARI Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 200 FOR THE 2600 AND MORE FOR THE OTHER SYSTEMS. ALSO, A COLLECTION OF VECTREX GAMES AND A COLLECTION OF ODYSSEY 2 GAMES, ALTHOUGH I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE CONSOLES FOR THOSE SYSTEMS YET.

thx1138 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Well Vectrex's can be dear, but you can pick up a Philip's Video Pac for about £5 here. See, I had all these Odyssey 2 carts and nothing to play them on, until surfing the web I realised they worked on the Video Pac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I have 201, including label variations and my MagiCard repro. Do you guys count the different letter case combinations of Missile Command as variations (as I do) or duplicates? If that's the case, I have 199 (3 Missile Commands with different letter case combinations). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeepnut24 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Up to 125 unique as of right now. But there are a few in transit and one waiting at home. Im working on the complete activision set, US Games and CBS to startwith because CBS is a small set, Activision has my favorite games and US has my favorite cart/lables. Then Im going to work on all the 1's and 2's. Right now Im working on a mySQL database for them. Just about finished with a list of all the released titles. Next Im going to work on adding various columns for differant information. Rarity, label condition, manual, etc... Im going to work up a java based webpage to interact with the DB so I can pull it up while surfing EBAY and maybe set it up on a pocket pc? in the future for flea markets. Im also working on "secret" project for my 2600 collection that I will be sure to post pictures of when Im finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have a decent boxed collection, now it's all loose except for a couple. I've thought about collecting Boxed again but I know how costly that is.
