ndary Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 i have an Atari 7800 colleciton that made up with almost every game made for the machine, most are boxed titles (some are sealed and never where opened). What is the Worth of the colleciton shown in the picture? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Whatever someones willing to pay : ) Seriously I dont know. Im terrible at that. What I know is when Im buying, the start price is strangely higher than what Im offered when Im selling. I guess thats why we have negotiations in our vocabulary. Anyhow, if youre selling any, let me know, I need a few of those Boxed games to finish off my boxed 7800 collection and if you are selling, I call dibs on Fatal Run as Ive been outbid on that game at every turn. Thanks Steve So if you are selling. Please PM me, otherwise, Nice collection. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Ah you also need to tell whether they are PAL or NTSC versions. Thats would make a difference if people take a shot at value on the lot. Tootles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxsolo2000 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Whatever someones willing to pay : ) Phantom is spot on there for it is all down to market physics of who wants it and how badly. Prices fluctuate and in the Uk a few years ago you were hard pushed to give a 7800 away. Now it is anyones guess but you may get lucky and find someone who really wants a nice looking collection like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Looks like it's a PAL collection (just from the clamshell boxes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndary Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 All the games including the machine are NTSC All items where bought form the US, through emay and direct sales... the Boxed 7800 is also a NTSC machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 The two clamshells (Double Dragon and Titlematch Wrestling) should be PAL though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdie3 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Nice collection if it's all NTSC. If I were to put a price on it, I would say the lot is worth between $150 to $200. There are two or three boxed games in there that are worth a quite bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndary Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Today i tested the two clamshells (Double Dragon and Titlematch Wrestling) games on an NTSC 7800 machine. Double Dragon works and playes well.. Titlematch does not boot.. does it mean its PAL? I dont have an 7800 Pal machine to test Ndary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Send it to me and I will test it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have an 7800 Pal machine to test Ndary Hell perhaps I should put a bid on your Double Dragon for I have owned no less than four and none of the damn things have ever worked. They are the only game for the 7800 that I have yet to play for I cant even get it to work on emulation. Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 All he needs to do is post a pic of the cart of Double Dragon and that would tell the tale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxsolo2000 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 All he needs to do is post a pic of the cart of Double Dragon and that would tell the tale. I have never even seen a screen shot of the game in action, only the start up screen. Yes I know it sounds crazy but its true I tell yah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I also call PAL since Tank Command and Mean 18 I think are the only ones he is missing. Was there an Impossible Mission in there? I have only 2 7800 carts that didn't work. Once many years ago..around 89 or so...I had a Tomcat that lasted for about 2 weeks and then just wouldn't boot up anymore. The next was years later when I got a scrapyard dog for $5 at the flea market. That cart would only show the title screen and then give me graphic garbage with locked tones...kinda like what happens when you pull the carts out with the power on. That was why I initially converted my 7800 into a dumper so that I could dump some of the carts I had that AA didn't have in the database yet, and to see what was up with scrapyard dog. Turns out it was a bum cart. Anyway, the point of this was that I learned years later from CPUWIZ I believe, that many of the Activision and Absolute entertainment 7800 carts are in fact EPROMs and if you look at the cart you will see the 74sl inverter right in the center about a centimeter from the cart contacts. That means that many of these production 7800 carts are likely to eventually die to bit rot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I also call PAL since Tank Command and Mean 18 I think are the only ones he is missing. Was there an Impossible Mission in there? Do you mean Title Match or the whole collection? I say definitely NTSC, the box for the 7800 is an NTSC box, depicting the Pro lines, and the smaller rainbow on the top case.

thomasholzer Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) Here's my complete 7800, mostly PAL, NTSC only were PAL wasn't available, and I'm still minus Tank Command Edited October 21, 2007 by thomasholzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasholzer Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) Isn't USA Double Dragon in a yellow box? Anyone's got a Tank Command going cheap? Edited October 21, 2007 by thomasholzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
