AtariDude Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Just like another member recently, I completed the entire collection of Mythicon games (ok only 3 games in their collection but it is a start). I am curious as to what company did everyone who has been collecting complete first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 I want to finish off all the Activision titles. So far, I'm missing H.E.R.O, Ghostbusters, Spider Fighter, Double Dragon and a few other titles. I have a lot of Parker Brothers and Imagic carts so I can't be far off from completing those collections. I collect those games loose as I don't believe I have enough room for more boxed games so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legeek Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Hi, My first was Activision, then Imagic, then Parker Bros. All cart only. I'd like the get all the manuals for the Activision carts (missing 12). I'd also like to have a complete Atari collection with manuals someday, but I see NTSC BMX Airmaster, Ikari Warriors, and Motorodeo being a little out of my tax bracket Cheers, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atarius Maximus Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 I completed my Activision collection first, followed by Imagic (except for PAL Wing War), then CBS. Parker Brothers is next, I only need Qbert's Qubes, although I'm not looking forward to shelling out the large amount of cash necessary to get that one. So far I've never spent more than $25 on a cart, which is close to my limit, so I may never get it. I've got reproduction copies with repro labels for the ultra rares like Quadrun, Crazy Climber, etc., as I'll NEVER spend the amount of money necessary to get the originals of those. In my mind, my repro copies count toward completing my collection of original atari games. I'm guessing most people probably start with Activision, they probably have the best collection of great games! AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 I've also never spent $25 on a single cart. The highest I've spent for one cart so far would be $21....for Frogger 2...which I need for my Parker Brothers collection as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 My first complete company collection was American Videogame's, which was easy because they only made one game " (Tax Avoiders)", Then I have all the games from (Absolute). Then I have all three of the (Mythicon) games. And a have a few other complete collections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liveinabin Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 I haven't quite finished anything yet:( It's my fault - I'm trying to get all the Activision games - but boxed! Got about 12 so far so I guess I'm doing OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 I think my first one was Epyx or Froggo, I can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Froggo was my first as well. In the mid nineties you could buy a set of shrinked Froggo games on every (virtual) street corner. My latest complete collection is Answer (Malagai, Gauntlet, Confrontation, PGP-1) Cheers, Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Wow. I remember reading about something like that back around '82 or '83, but I didn't buy the magazine that had the article in it, and never found one of the systems. I assumed it never shipped. I remember the ad/article showed a modified version of a game (River Raid, I think) and it said you could alter the graphics of your games, which is what I wanted it for. I don't recall if the one pictured here is the same one though. It seems to me the other one was different, but it's been so long, I could be mistaken. Major nostalgia rush, there. Cool stuff. Back to the topic at hand... I never intentionally tried to collect any manufacturer's games completely, since every one had games they put out that I didn't like. I only bought them to play, although after the crash I bought a lot of dirt-cheap games I never ended up playing anyway. I suppose my first "complete" 2600 collection would be either First Star (Boing!) or Sunrise (Quest for Quintana Roo), since they're only one game each. I bought them both about the same time.

sku_u Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 I think my first complete 2600 collection, meaning all the known NTSC standard releases was US Games not counting companies that only put out 1 or 2 games. I've since completed many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted May 27, 2003 Author Share Posted May 27, 2003 Wow! That was a pretty cool device. Too bad that the crash came along and ruined everything. It would have been fun to see it in operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I agree that it's a nice looking device. Definitely something that could have succeeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeV0 Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 My only complete colection is Rainbowvision, Which is just pirate stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I'm pretty sure it was Epyx. For whatever reason I scored all three games right away very early on, so early in fact that I didn't even realize it was a "complete set" until much later. With the Front Line I have coming in the mail, that will be (I think) my fourth, after US Games and Imagic. I'm a Beamrider away from having Activision done too.

Pixellated Ghost Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I just completed my Mythicon set a month or so ago, which is my first complete company set. Not even close on any others yet but I have a fair variety of games from many manufacturers. It's the really rare stuff that gets hard (expensive) to get.

Pitfall Harry Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Epyx was the first company set I completed. After that, it was VentureVision. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
