coleconut Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 So I went to see a lot of Atari2600 carts that were in a Craigslist ad. Turns out when I got there some of the games in the picture, and sure enough the ones I was after, were not included. HATE when that happens. But the seller then asks me if I want to see an Odyssey2 lot. I dont really collect them but figure I had come a long way so why not. Wound up walking out with a boxed console, complete with 2 power supplies, the Voice module, and boxed games including: Alien Invaders Plus Alpine Skiiing Armored Encounter / Subchase Atlantis Attack of the Timelord! Baseball Blockout / Breakdown Bowling / Basketball Casino Slot Machine Computer Golf Computer Info Conquest of the World Cosmic Conflict Demon Attack Dynasty Electronic Table Soccer Football Freedom Fighters Great Wall St Fortune Hunt Hockey / Soccer Invaders from Hyperspace I've Got Your Number KC Munchkin Las Vegas Blackjack Matchmaker / Logix / Buzzword Math A Magic / Echo Monkeyshines Newscaster Nimble Numbers Ned Out of This World / Helicopter Rescue Pachinko Pick Axe Pete Pick Axe Pete Pocket Billiards Quest for the Rings Showdown in 2100 AD Speedway / Spinout / Crypto-Logic Speedway / Spinout / Crypto-Logic Sid the Spellbinder Take the money and run Thunderball Type and Tell UFO Volleyball War of Nerves Mostly fairly common as I can gather based on DP ratings except for a few, but Quest, Conquest, and Wall St. games were all 100% complete. All the manuals were there. Now not knowing much about this system, I was a little surprised to see them all in plastic flip-open cases. Every game I have seen before was in a cardboard box. And in scanning thru the DP ratings, some of the games listed showed only NAP and Philips versions yet mine in these cases were Magnavox. Maybe because 90% were Canadian versions with bilingual boxes, cart labels are all in English. Paid $80, he was asking $200 Anxious to fire this baby up and play a few...

Cebus Capucinis Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Nice find! 200 seems like a good deal for all that. If 200 was a good deal, just imagine how great the 80 he actually paid was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirin jensen Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 That's a great deal. Have played the Challenger series games(K.C. Munchkin!, Attack of the Timelord!, Pick Axe Pete!, UFO! and Freedom Fighters!) yet? They're the crown jewels of the O2 as far as I'm concerned. You might also want to pick up Killer Bees! as it's the one game that always gets put on the O2-to-2600 wish list. And definitely try out the homebrews in emulation. KTAA, Planet Lander, Mr. Roboto, Route 66 and Puzzle Piece Panic! are all excellent games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seob Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Don't forget Robot City, an original game that was never released, but has been released this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
