nintendan Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Just was at my local Value Village, and they had about 10-12 older Atari 2600 games. These are the text-only labels, but some of them had numbers to the left of the label on the end-label. I have seen text-only carts WITHOUT the numbers, so I'm wondering if any of these numbered variations are worth picking up? I remember they had 01 Combat, and a few others (even #30). These were each a $1.99, so is this somewhat of a unique find, or are these numbered variations kinda common? Thanks to those who respond.

arlo Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 (edited) You'll find them on this page, if these are the ones you're talking about. edit: linked to the label variations page instead of rarity guide Edited September 13, 2005 by arlo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 The'yre about as unique as Sears picture labels, IMO. I'd grab them up. Got two myself, 11 indy 500 and 61 basic math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan 930693[/snapback] #30 would be Circus Atari, which isn't listed as having a numbered label variation . . . If it exists, that would be a find. I have a 51 Blackjack and a 41 Surround myself. I don't have a numbered Combat, although I have a gatefold Combat box (which was just laying by itself in the furniture section of the thrift store, someday I'll find the cart to match).

Christophero Sly Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Some titles are harder to find than others, but these variants are all quite common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room 34 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 #30 would be Circus Atari, which isn't listed as having a numbered label variation . . . If it exists, that would be a find. There is definitely no number label Circus Atari. Atari only did those labels on the original nine 1977 releases. Circus Atari was released in 1980. In fact there are no number labels in the 30's at all. Here they all are: 01 Combat 02 Air-Sea Battle 03 Star Ship 11 Indy 500 12 Street Racer 21 Video Olympics 41 Surround 51 Blackjack 61 Basic Math Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what 31 would have been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
