Artlover Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Another old Coleco pong game. The "Telstar Ranger" with the detached paddles, and light gun. $1.37. (one of these days, I've gotta update the "what systems do you own" thread.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglehunter Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Today I went to a local thrift shop and got a Wireless Remote Controller for the NES for only $2 CDN. I think it was made by both Acclaim and Camerica but I'm not sure. It even came with all the hookups needed. The thing I like about this wireless controller is that it's the closest wireless controller I've seen so far that is almost the exact size as the NES controller (unlike my wireless Atari 2600/NES joystick by Camerica). Has anyone ever seen one of these things or know anything about them? @badbrad - Nice Power Glove/R.O.B. find. If that Power Glove is the larger size glove then I must have it! If you'd trade it to me that would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanic Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Just a few hours ago, I picked up an ATARI Portfolio (handheld computer) with the serial expansion, memory expansion, parallel expansion and a 64K card all for the low low price of $10! One of my best finds ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanic Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Has anyone ever seen one of these things or know anything about them? Yes. I have 2 of them. They are OK, but you must stay close to the reciever and you must make sure the transmitter is pointing at the reciever the whole time. I got frustrated when I got into a game and moved slightly, then it would stop working... It's a cool find though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 For about $6, I got a dozen Atari games including 4 7800 games, Turmoil, Kangaroo, a Sears "Tank*Plus" I had never seen before with red lettering and a really funky S (same style I've seen on Outer Space) Dodge 'Em and Fast Food. A few of the items were new or upgrades, but all of the rest went into tradebait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarinuts Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Hi all! Howard gets all the good stuff. I found a TI-99/4A in the box today for 13.00 with all the books and cords. This is actually the second one I've found in thrift stores ( except the first one didn't have the power or tv cord ) which leads me to a question... why do both of the ones I have, have what I am guessing was the UPC sticker cut off. Was there a promotion for a cart or something? Just curious since both of them are that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 why do both of the ones I have, have what I am guessing was the UPC sticker cut off. Was there a promotion for a cart or something? Just curious since both of them are that way. Are you refering to this? (See photo, bottom right corner of each manual) I've been pondering that for years. I even opened some deadstock boxed games to see if the manuals were cut...they were...so it must have been done prior to being delivered to the consumer, which eliminates a promotion. Maybe retailers did it. Perhaps they received some sort of commission from TI for every game they stocked. Every TI command module (cart) manual I have looks like this. Don't know.

BIG EARL Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Actually found some atari stuff today, I was shocked 4 game carts Mario Bros $2.99 (has some label damage) Word Zapper $2.99 Vanguard $2.99 GI Joe Cobra Strike $2.99 2 Joysticks for the Atari, "Champion Reel-Up" the cord reels up into the base $2.99 each. Anyone know anything about these? Only marking is "Champ" on the plug, how can you tell the difference between Super Champ & Mini champ? These are pretty good size I would assume super? (picture has it next to an Atari joystick) Arcadia Supercharger $0.99 What is this for? Atari 2600 JR power supply $0.99 Atari Computer Power Supply (C061982) $1.99 Anyone know what computer this is for?

Atari Rescue Group Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Those are nice finds! That Supercharger is pretty cool. There are games you can get on cassette tape that'll work with it. They aren't too expensive. I had a great hunting Saturday myself. I found a 5200 Wico Command controller (I need a Y cable now!!!) & a Track & Field controller both for $3.00 and also I found some boxed games: (Sears) Dare Diver -- complete (Sears) Circus -- complete (Sears) Berzerk -- no instructions (Sears) Steeplechase -- no instructions (Imagic) Quick Step -- no instructions (Starpath) Communist Mutants from Space -- no instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarinuts Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Are you refering to this? Yep, that's pretty much it, although I was talking about the boxes for the systems themselves. Now I need to check my manuals too. Interesting mystery though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
