AtariBrian Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 picked up a ballblazer and the power cord for the 7800 system for 4 bucks today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Jesus Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I have to say, I really like adding 7800 games to my collection. Whenever I see one sitting in a pawn shop or thift store, it's like finding a little nugget of fun that most people don't appreciate... But I get all excited!

gorfcadet Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Lucky! The two shops that would occassionally get Atari swag closed up in the last year. As retro as I can get now is nes. The sorry economy has finally reached my favorite pasttime and it makes me grumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 he also has a copy of motor psycho,planet smashers,kung fu masters and a few others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocEss Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 he also has a copy of motor psycho,planet smashers,kung fu masters and a few others Given the semi-rarity of all three of those, buy them. Assembling a full set of 7800 games is one of the easier classic collecting tasks, and it's well worth it when you can look down and see an A-Z of every released cart for the 7800. Satisfying.

plyboult Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I've had trouble finding 7800 games at my local stores or the flea markets... if I owned the 2600 man I'd be in paradise. I don't mean to butt in on this thread but I did order 2 Joypads from Best, and yesterday picked up a loose Galaga for $6 off ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Quack Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Helpful hint: Buy large lots of 7800 games on Ebay. Pick out the games you need. Put the rest back on Ebay. You get your carts and probably break even on what you re sell. Or find out if the rest of your duplicates someone else needs here in the marketplace.
