Brad2600 Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 My friend Karen who is moving to Michigan dropped off a whole bunch of 2600 stuff. Besides the heavy sixer that I mentioned in another thread, I also got 1 Suncom Tac-2 joystick 1 Pointmaster Joystick 1 Spectravideo Joystick 29 games (some rarities like Gangster Alley) 1 2600Jr 1 pair of regular paddles 1 2600 joystick (missing stalk cover) Also got 1 pair of Colecovision Super Action Controllers and 3 Colecovision games along with a CV controller. What does everyone think? I feel like the luckiest collector. I wonder what I did to get all this stuff! :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolt Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 That's really cool that she did that for you--I've always liked the Spectravision joysticks myself. It's nice when non-collectors try and 'reach out' to psychos like the lot of us on this board. For example, my folks called me today from a flea market and read off the names of about 200 carts. They were all commons of course, so I had 'em, but to hear my mom read off, 'Uh, Bay-Zerk, Vanguard, Years Revenge, Q-Asterik-Bert...' was a killer. On the other hand, she went through all their catalogs and manuals too, and found me at least 20 I didn't have. And 'cause she's my mom, they were 'on her'--awwwww. Of course, then I had to tell her, don't pay more than $15 for the lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted August 3, 2003 Author Share Posted August 3, 2003 I know what you mean by that. My mom occassionally lets me know if she sees video games. She mostly looks for NES stuff though for me. Nothing beats a free gift of Atari stuff though. Especially the Sears heavy sixer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 Q-Asterik-Bert... Classic! Sounds like you've got nice folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 1 Suncom Tac-2 joystick I always liked that stick, feels nice and arcade-y. Very good score you got there, nothing better than free Atari stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted August 3, 2003 Author Share Posted August 3, 2003 I think the Tac-2 is too arcade-y for me. I think a good old 2600 joystick would do the trick better for me. Yes, it was a good score. I still gotta finish cleaning off my Sears heavy sixer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
