EricDeLee Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Well... I guess I just got more serious about collecting the 7800. I picked up a 7800 a while back because it was cheap. I picked up a few games over the past 5 months or so. Nothing special. Then I butchered a Karateka cart, thinking I could get the pacman collection cart to work with it. So... I then ran across an ad on Craigslist and decided last night I'd contact the guy and set up a good time this evening to pick up the games. I fully expected this would have been sold already, so I guess I really lucked out. So I got another 7800 system (I haven't tested anything yet...) a few controllers, 32 Atari 2600 games (nothing too special in those)... and 36 7800 games! I got a lot of good items in the box. Take a look at this picture: There are quite a few nice carts in this lot. The only bad thing... I have all of the 7800 manuals as well. He handed them to me in a package, but sometime during storage, they got wet. So they are basically ruined. Except for the Alien Brigade one. That one is still good. $80 total 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Sweet haul! And a system, too, $80 well spent! :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horseboy Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Nice haul. You have most of the harder to find Atari brand titles. I can't believe Ax hasn't commented on that pic yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phattyboombatty Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Very nice. I recently nabbed a 7800 CL haul for $100 but only got about 5 commons and a bunch of 2600 games. The redemption was that it was an original "Warner Communications" model from 1984, plus I got 2600 Track & Field. You made out well!

+save2600 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Yeah, really nice smattering of rare/good 7800 games there. No boxes for 'em though, huh? Damn. Still. Edited July 13, 2011 by save2600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.golden.ax Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Nice grab indeed. How ugly are the manuals athletically? Is there anything worth cutting up and using as part of an artistic collage? I ended up with cut up boxes for 7800. Nearly a full set (yeah, even the rare stuff) some ding dong on CL actually. Keep thinking one day I'll make a collage.

thegamezmaster Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Great find. Sorry to hear about the manuals. I had the same thing happen to me on a big Intellivision haul, bummer dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have lost your keen eye. Dang, I should have upsized it, or if I did, must not have scrolled down. (When I clicked it the corn was off frame just now).
