BydoEmpire Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 So, i picked up a few carts for the Atari 800 or whatever it is today. I don't have the system, but i was so surprised to find anything gaming related at a thrift store, i got 'em anyway. Most are in pretty good shape, although they're cart only. They were bundled in bags of two for $3.99, so basically these were all $2 each: Popeye Pengo Dig Dug Movie Musical Madness Peanut Butter Panic Kaboom! Time Bound James Bond 007 So...i don't really know anything about the Atari 8-bit stuff. Were these worth picking up for the price? I think $2/pop is pretty good for those - I'd have definitely bought them. I love the 800's games, you should pick up a system one of these days (800xl preferably)! By the way, your avatar is one of my favorites on the site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be soon, but i've got an eye out for a good price on one. Thanks for the avatar compliment as well. I drew it specifically for avatar purposes, lately i've been thinking about coloring it and upgrading it to t-shirt status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnight magicman Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Finally got my 1st working 5200! Came with trackball controller, power supply, RF switchbox (all functioning perfectly!), non-working cx-52 controller (took it apart, cleaned it & added foil tape to buttons. Got it in working order!) & 5 games. Found all this @ an antique show/flea market for $35 Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFoolsRun Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I found NES games at a Goodwill tonight. I know! All loose, $2.50 each: Metal Gear Milon's Secret Castle Track & Field Dragon Worrior Pac-Man (some marker on it, probably washable) Lunar Pool (also has marker) Rampage (marker) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Not bad for $2.50 but you didn't mention if Pac Man you got is Tengen grey card, Tengen black cart, or Namco label. All are the same, just different labels and case shells. Namco label is the rarest of the 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gulag picture radio Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Dreamcast console + some fishing game- $3 All at $2.50 a throw SNES TMNT IV Turtles in Time Street Fighter II Turbo Super Punch Out NES Ghosts 'N Goblins (can't believe that I never had this before...) Totally Rad SNES cleaner - a buck left behind a SNES system for $12 & a PS1 for $8. I'll wait for half-price day. I did get a crazy painting from the 60's with holes drilled in it for Christmas lights - it was sold that way, it isn't some home project. I've seen a similar painting once before. Insane.

Uzumaki Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 A nice looking Sony Playstation Dual Analog controller, the first analog controller Sony ever made. before the dual shock line. SCHP-1110 Turns out I don't have a single game that can "use" this controller according to a few FAQ's I found via Google but I'll give a few Dual Shock compatible games a try. Has analog and digital switch. Supposedly it uses potentiometer rather than rotary encoder or hall effect sensors. Didn't find any on eBay (current or past) and found little info other than a small list of supported games. Oh yeah paid only 99 cents :love: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scumdogg Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Got a bunch of great stuff tonight at a thrift store...this one place around here is turning into a gold mine lately. Atari Paddle Plug n' Play- $2 Disney PnP, with game key- $3 Power Joy- $4 Power Joy Voyager- $5 Slik Stik Atari joystick- $2 And best of all, this weird dancing Shin Chan plush for $5. He's wearing a bee suit and he sings this easter song, i can't find a damn thing about it online. The tag is in Japanese and labeled 1992. That's all i know. Under the pics here, i've included a link to a YouTube video i made of Shin dancing. Check it out, it's totally worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) Had a good thrifting day today, though I didn't really know how good until just now. I found a Magnavox CM8705 color monitor. At the time I noticed it had composite video and mono audio inputs, plus a couple of proprietary-looking RGB inputs. I figured if nothing else, this would be another decent monitor for testing old computers with. It turns out this is basically a third-party equivalent of the cherished Commodore 1084, and those "proprietary" RGB inputs are used by the Commodore 128 and the Amiga! The sad and amusing thing is, even though I have a couple of Amiga 500's that I've been waiting to find a monitor for, I still can't use them! I have the right monitor now, but I still need a cable! And just to make things more amusing, I actually do have the right cable to connect this thing to a Commodore 128... but no Commodore 128. Oh well. It looks like the Amiga cables don't go for too much online, so maybe I'll spring for one in the near future. The monitor works quite well with composite video (sadly no S-video capability), so I don't think I will have any trouble with it. Price: five whole bucks.

HayakawaKen Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Just got back from the flea market, the usual amount of stuff was out there but the only thing that caught my eye was a copy of Tombs and Treasure for NES, in box, with instructions. I talked the guy down to $5 from $7, so that's my big find for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opeygon Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 bumb n jump -nes top gun -nes skate or die -nes knight rider -nes gauntlet -nes with box, instructions and poster i needed all of these nes titles so i was pretty stoked warlords -2600 boxed with instuctions homerun -2600 boxed with instuctions blackjack -2600 boxed with instuctions "pac man" card game. complete in box with 42 cards and 4 game boards. my buddy grabbed a whole bunch of boxed games for the 2600 also. Spider Fighter among them. We both already have all the 2600 games that we grabbed but lacked the boxes for all of them so this was a pretty good score for us. We also saw a beat up 4 switch woody (console only) laying in a pile of electronic stuff. Got it for 4 bucks. Took it home. Fired it up. Runs like a champ. Prob sell it after cleaning it up with some duplicate carts that we got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
