bought a xegs, did i overpay?

[jesusc]

i bought a boxed (no manuals) xegs from a kid with the following games(all loose cartridges):bug hunt, flight simulator II, centipede,deluxe invaders, miner 2049, congo bongo, spider city, and chess.

I paid $30.

was that too much?

[+Mitch]

Considering the games you got, I think that's pretty good.

I 2nd that.. sounds like you got a great deal!

[Osbo]

good deal indeed! my 800xl with box and busted power supply and one game cost me about 40 bucks...

Bug Hunt requires Light Gun to play?

 

Did you get one with?

[jesusc]

yes, although now that i've played the game, i'd have been just a happy without it. what a stinker.

That's what every review said back then too.

 

"Barnyard Blaster" was a good game by all reports. And its gun routines were lots better.

 

Don't forget built-in Missile Command, hold SELECT on power up.

 

And here's an article all about it

Sounds like a good price, I mean you can get lucky like I did, I paid 12 canadian for mine, mint with everything, manuals games, light gun.. but it was a fluke of timing and it was a thrift store, the chances of that happening are scarce. Ive only seen one in the wild in the last 5 years so... 30 bucks is fine. I would have paid 30 bucks.

You got a very good deal, esp. with Miner 2049er. That must often go for $20 by itself!

 

And "Spider City?" Never heard of that one, maybe it is scarce.

It's the original Sirius game that was ported to the 2600 as "Flash Gordon".
