atari181 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Ok, So I like to take chances, I saw this auction and for some reason I was drawn it to it. Seller didn't want to reveal the Games? Probably all combats I know, but I just had a felling on this one. I may be able to get some money back if the controllers are in good working order if I am a loser on this one. What do you think? 15 Combats or maybe a Waterworld or Crazy Climber? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 260746398315 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raskar42 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 someone wrapped them - that took some effort to hide the titles. probably all pac-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 My guess is they weren't trying to hide the titles, but rather they were just too lazy to list them. One of my pet peeves is people who post a system with games on CraigsList and don't bother to list the games, they just say "over 75 games"... WTF... like they're all the same? Some people don't realize it makes a BIG difference. Good luck with your gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophretard Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I saw that one too but didn't want to take the chance. I'm betting Combats(some missing end labels), Pacmans(with the name Josh on one), and a Colecovision game. Let us know with pics when you get them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowCoder Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 $20 for a gamble isn't too bad. As you said you may be able to recoup some of your losses by reselling the controllers. In cases like this I'd hope the seller is actually ignorant, leaving a chance of something good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss 2600 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Maybe the seller wrapped them and then forgot to write down the titles and didn't want to unwrap them. Still, that is really lazy as there are not that many of them and it would only be probably 30 words to type. At least you know the cartridges will be well-wrapped.

Tubular Gearhead Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) someone wrapped them - that took some effort to hide the titles. probably all pac-man I dunno... I say the fact that they are wrapped could be a good sign. Why would someone wrap Combats or Pac-man? Maybe they came from a collector. Could be a good gamble. I will be interested in hearing about this one when you get it. Edited March 9, 2011 by Tubular Gearhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fibrewire Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I'm just waiting for the day we find a shipping container filled with box after box of shrink wrapped E.T. games... After a lifetime of videogames, Atari's E.T. is like a giant middle finger to my childhood. Worst game ever. I'll take Combat over E.T. any day. And I've even played QWOP! http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Not worth even posting pics best cart was Star Wars ESB. Paddles are in good shape though. Lost on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
