rolenta Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 I've been collecting 2600 carts since 1978. I currently focus on NTSC (although I have a few PALs and protos). My current count is: 486 + 55 Sears (complete list can be viewed at: http://www.rolentapress.com/rolenta/collec.../games.htm#2600 ) I have most of the rare NTSC carts. My specific needs are Air Raid and Gauntlet (and the only copy I've ever seen was just sold !!!! ) I also need Mangia but it seems to be up in the air if an NTSC version exists.

bloatedmonkey Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 So, the ultimate collector, in order of importance, should.......6. NOT be an asshole Well, I guess I'm out! I have around 800 in my collection with another 2000 in the garage. But quantity's nowhere as important as quality (I've heard of someone with 20 different labels of Combat). The game I'm most proud of in my stash is a lab loaner Dumbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inextremis staple Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 well this is very impressive all i have is one system (a sunnyvale heavy sixer which im proud of) and about 36 games the rarest of which is probably pengo but i love every minute of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdstuff64 Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Wow you guys have alot of games.I like to think I have a good collection,that is for a 15yr. old. I have all my games on my site,under video games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnspike Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Last I counted I have over 200 different titles (I don't have an accurate count at the moment). I guess I think I am an Atari purist, because I refuse to collect Tele-Games or Sears consoles. Every one of my games are unboxed and ready to play, although I do have some duplicates that are boxed, in a safe place. I have a six-switch console (not heavy), and two 2600 Jr's. I also have an Atari Super Pong. I collect because I love to play, and I dread the day when my collection is so large that I can no longer get the thrill of finding a game or hardware I don't have out in the wild. I am not the King by any means, I am merely a loyal subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella'sGhost Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Holy crap, some people's collections border on obsessive. Don't you guys have a social life?? ( like I need an anwser). I only have about 180 games. 1000 games eh? Well, something to work towards. I am not the biggest collector of atari games, I spend most of my money on old and new synthesizers. If it wasnt for that, I'd have 1000 games by now. Once I drove 40 miles in a snowstorm for a box of Atari games, at night. can we say LOSER.....

JCroniger Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Well, here it goes. I've got 1038 carts (this includes Pal/NTSC and label variations). But Fish, Maro, Marc, Rick and company are in a class by themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella'sGhost Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 What is wrong with you? How do you know who I know or don't know? Why so hostile? It' s a sign of lack of self confidence. I'm not impressed. I will not be responding to your posts anymore, so dont worry about it. And I wonder who's got vibrators on their mind?.....

bangles66 Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 If we are talking about strickly 2600. And strickly about how much stuff you have. 1-2600 w/32 games built in 5-2600's 3-2600 jr's 206 carts (not including doubles or label variations) including the cuttle cart more controllers than I can count at the moment I fell I'm in the average for the amount of stuff I have.

mark Posted August 28, 2002 Author Share Posted August 28, 2002 JCroniger, consider yourself one of the kings, nice collection, infact everyone seems to have nice collections. congradulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted August 28, 2002 Author Share Posted August 28, 2002 stellasghost, frankly, i don't think they should reply to your posts as you implied they don't have a life (why would you even say anything like that anyway). and thats not nice. then you continued to say i need a hobby. which didn't sound nice either. then i felt obligated to make a joke of some sort. if you wouldn't have said anything that would offend someone none of this would have happened. thats all i have to say to you.
