Turn2 Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I was just curious as to how large some of the 2600 collections are of people who visit these boards. Mine 226 individual titles 277 listed variations from the search pages here at Atari Age Variations all together I don't even want to try to count them yet but I'm starting on my second 73qt/70ltr Sterilite tub of extras. Unfortunatly the rarest game I have is a Quest for Quintana Roo Sunrise label 8/10 on this site. How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockman_x_2002 Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Have to admit, my collection (while still growing ever so slightly), is only a humble collection. Only 87 titles (including 2600 and 7800 carts) to speak of, I fear. Most of those carts were my brother's. The ones that I bought myself... only about 20+ of them. But hey... collecting's is a minor thing to me. I just enjoy playing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I'm probably somewhere around 100, maybe slightly less. I know it's at least 70. It's growing at a nice pace too, possibly an average of about one new title every week or two, over the last twelve months (and that's without using eBay).

MattG/Snyper2099 Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I'm glad this topic comes to light every month or so. (really I am, no sarcasm intended here) Let me explain. Not only is it nice to hear about people's collections that are new to this board, it's great to hear how other long time collector's collections are coming along. Now, I'm up to 440 unique NTSC titles myself. I don't do label variations. I still have yet to obtain a true rarity"10". My goal at the moment is to obtain every 2600 game that isn't a ten, as well as all their instructions. I'm up to 320 instructions at the moment. I would like to get one box from every major company as well but that's kind of secondary goal. Everyone keep up the good positive collecting carma.

ATARIPITBULL Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I only have two games for my 2600, but one day I hope to have five if I dare to dream!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voch Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 As of this morning: 198. Subtract two or three duplicates if you're not into manufacturer variations (e.g. Sears Yars' Revenge vs. Atari Yars' Revenge). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari and Beer Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 around 145 ...a few are dupes...about 50 of them are boxed with instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeV0 Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I have finally counted and have 253 2600 carts, this will be a year next month of colecting. Sadly ive only got 17 7800 carts, I say sadly because i couldnt afford a 7800 in the eighties. Out of those 253 the following are dupes Millipede x 3 midnight magic x 2 jedi arena x 3 jawbreaker x 2. As for other systems i honestly could be borthered counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 If I ever get around to counting exactly... Around 1000, last count. About 300 boxed games, and around 350 unique titles. One 10, some 9's and some protos. I agree with Matt on this one, neat to hear about others and how there is comfort in numbers! I have around 1600 now for all systems combined now. Things are getting out of hand Cassidy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian R. Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 My full count is below. It's all individual titles, for all systems, I don't count duplicates, label variations, or anything else like that. One of each. My 2600 inventory has been steady for quite a while now. I can't find anything I don't already have without having to go to extreme measures to find something. It's also been a long time since I've seen many Atari games in the wild, or just stumbled on them at flea markets, second hand stores or yard sales. They seem to have just dried up. But I'm happy with what I've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_Dude Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 72 unique carts 87 total, been fairly static numbers over the past 6 months (with the total droping due to a few contests I ran) But I have enough carts in the post to push me over 100 This is either the begining of the end or the end of the begining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I'm up to 201 unique titles. With duplicates I'm probably at around 300 carts total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Galaga Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I have around 180 different games, with a few 5's. I collect just the loose games, no boxes. I also have about 30 dups. I am now seeing how people acquire so many damn Pac Man and Combat carts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolenta Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I have 501 non-Sears carts (including Stellar Track, Steeplechase, & Submarine Commander) + 55 Sears (not including the titles mentioned) My complete list can be found at: http://www.rolentapress.com/rolenta/collec.../games.htm#2600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehr Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 104 carts. This is not counting dupes (don't have any label variations), but then again it wouldn't add much to my count anyway From the 9 games my family had in the early 80's to the bargain bin liquidations of the late 80's to used video game stores that still sell 2600 games, I think I'm getting close to owning all the games I value in play. I'm still on the lookout for H.E.R.O. and Frostbite - and saving my coins for a few homebrews (must...own...Qb...and Gunfight...and others...). Rarest cart: Atari Video Cube w/box and instructions (a $3 (+tax) find!); followed by Tapper and Pengo (both loose). Useless factoid: Popeye was my 100th 2600 cart! Hyuk-kuh-kuh-kuh!

hepcat Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 For the 2600, around 420 carts, 203 of which are boxed. There's quite a few label variations in there, but I must be getting close to 200 unique titles by this time. --Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xot Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I believe I'm at 458 - including Sears and international label/title variations.
