Serious collection: Atari 2600/VCS & Odyssey 2


Recommended Posts

Coming soon! I am going in order of publisher, and I have a few more publishers to go before I get to them. My homebrews, Imagic, and Magnavox/Phillips posts will show them. (no Parker Bros O2 titles, yet)

I like Data Age. I am aware that I may be alone on this.

 

Their releases were so unusual. Like Airlock, the submarine escape game, with a character that looks like someone from Tron on the cover. Or Journey Escape, where you rush to get to the Scarab beetle and are helped by little blue alien roadies on the way. Besides that, Encounter at L5 is a really fun game. (Using a paddle controller for a bottom shooter is a great idea. Why didn't more 2600 game publishers do this?)

 

And the incredibly weird Mindscape record..! (Which must be the inspiration for the creepy movie "Beyond the Black Rainbow".. They are eerily similar.)

 

 

Anyway, here is my Data Age collection.

...and according to this card, I am entitled to all rights and privileges associated with said membership.. But... I haven't signed the back of it, so it says the card is invalid..! Crap..

Something that stands out to me, after taking all of these pictures, is now many different trays there are.

 

On Fire Fighter, it is a cardboard tray with a slot to store the manual in.

 

Fathom has a white plastic tray.

 

Several of the black plastic trays for the 2600 releases are different than each other.

Wow, that's one amazing Imagic collection, just missing the later Imagic releases:

Chopper Hunt, Crime and Punishment, Injured Engine, Talking Teacher, Tournament Tennis (all C64), should you go after these.

 

Thanks. I knew about Injured Engine, but not those others. I will have to look into them.

 

I have a few other gaps. Truckin' and Fathom for Intellivision are the main ones I am still after, but a silver box for Subterranea is top of my list.

 

I recently became aware that Imagic also published games on several other platforms, like the Apple II, Coco, MSX, and ZX Spectrum, but I'm not currently planning to go for those.

 

One version of Demon Attack I would like to add to my collection is the Videopac+ version:

I just recently got a working Phillips G7400 setup, so there are a number of Videopac+ titles I am going to be looking for.
