Povlok1's 35lb Atari Order Arrives. Tons of Freebies! (pixs)

[Kenwood]

Earlier in June, I placed a massive order with Jeff to regain my Childhood Atari System back. As most of you know, Jeff went through a real rough spot in his Health and ended up in the Hospital several times. We chatted frequently on the phone in June. During this time I kept telling Jeff, not to worry about this large order, as his health was more important than my Atari system. Jeff kept telling me thanks for "understanding" and that he would "take care of me" with some freebies!

 

Well, the UPS man arrived, which Jeff shipped 2-day Air, so I could showcase my Atari at my buddy's 3rd July party. I ripped through the Box. I had ever seen such perfect wrappings. Every item was wrapped in bubble tape, then plastic wrapped. Each control was clean as the day it was opened in the late 1970's. The crown jewel was my Mod'd Heavy Sixer. I know some of you might cringe at that, but since the unit was missing the labels on the bottom, Jeff didn't mind modifying a Heavy Sixer for RCA output. That sucker looked brand spanking new. The box with the controls had two extra joysticks and a traxBall thrown in too.

 

The next box I opened were the 60+ games I had played as a kid. Oh how I missed playing those Atari Games. The final box I opened was Jeff's "Thank You" box. This box was pretty heavy. This box contained over 60+ Free Games!!!!! I was totally blown away. Tons of Atari, Activision, Imagic, M-Networks, Parker Bros for free carts. If there were more than a couple extra carts of any game on Jeff's shelves, it landed in my box.

 

Jeff....I wanted to give you a "shout-out" on AtariAge board to THANK YOU so much for your generosity and kindness. You went above and beyond the call of duty on this one. I'm glad your recovery is going better and your taking some time off to get healthy.

Wow, some nice games in that lot! Very impressive. I asked Jeff once but I don't recall if he really responded to this question, but where in God's name did he get all the stuff he's got? I think he said he's only been collecting a couple of years. Just curious, if anyone knows.

 

But a very impressive lot you got there. Congrats. You'll be busy for a while I'd say

[keilbaca]

Carts are in new condition, that's a awesome deal, plus being a modder myself, trust me you'll enjoy the a/v mod he put in. quick question. Mind opening it up to see what mod he did

[dykesr]

That is nuts. You got an awsome deal i would love to get hat many free games.

I rarely play real Atari anymore because it looks so horrible. It would be cool to get a modified Atari 2600 or 7800 so that I can actually play the games without interference. As clean and clear as emulation.

[AtariLeaf]

This making me really really look forward to my package from Jeff.

[+Nathan Strum]

That's an impressive lot!

 

So, which games were you re-purchasing from the good ol' days, and which were the freebies? I'd hate to have to re-built my collection.

 

povlok1's going to be sending me a modded 2600 to add to my comparison site, although I may not get around to testing it until August. But I've heard good things about it, so it'll be interesting to see one first-hand.

[ATARIPITBULL]

That is a big lot of Atari items you got Kenwood, I am getting a mint in the box Gemini system and the white Atari 2600 store banner from my Atari room.

 

 

[AtariDude]

Wow!

 

That is one awesome collection. You are going to be tied up for the next few months just playing all the games.

 

Tell Jeff that he is one great guy and I hope he gets better

[atari_wizard]

[povlok1]

[Kenwood]

It's been a really fun week getting back into Atari. Playing so many of these fun games I spent hours playing as a kid. This stuff came at a perfect time, as my wife and daughter were visiting her mom for a week.

 

Kind of funny I slapped in Keystone Kapers and River Raid and earned my patch on my 1st attemping playing em in over 20 years.

[Brad2600]

I want a modified 6 switcher!

 

Looks like you got a great deal though, Kenwood!
