Needles Kane Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Here's the deal: I'm a 15 year old kid and all I think about is gaming. I have a nice collection of systems (Pong, 2600, 7800, XEGS, Lynx, Jag, JagCD, NES, Genesis, Nomad, GameCom, PSX, PSone, PS2), but I always have to pay a ridiculous sum for systems/games. Any advice on where I can get more 7800 games (or any system's games) for cheap? I don't want to clean out my college fund before I even get there!

Brian R. Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Doesn't O'Shea still have an inventory of 7800 (and 2600) games? I know their prices are higher than when I bought from them, but IIRC it's not gotten outrageous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have several games for sale that are $2/piece or less: http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=31512 I think O'sheas prices are $5/piece now.

JerseyDevil Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 You can get good bargains at E-Bay. I recently won an auction for Moon Patrol, Jungle Hunt, MsPac-Man, and Joust (all still sealed) for $12 with shipping included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 You can get good bargains at E-Bay. I recently won an auction for Moon Patrol, Jungle Hunt, MsPac-Man, and Joust (all still sealed) for $12 with shipping included. You just have to be careful though. "Rare" has become only of the most over-abused slogans in Ebay when it comes to classic collecting. Somewhere, the definition changed from "legitimately scarce" to sometimes meaning "woefully common game that I bought from O'Sheas for .80 cents and am now trying to trick a newbie into thinking it's a bargain." Be careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goochman Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 YOu could opt for the upcoming Cuttle Cart II - Upfront cost is high but then again the sky is the limit with regard to games you can play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 5 games here, going cheap: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...egory=3528&rd=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodreptile Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I have a spare copy of a pal light gun game... forget what it is called but it is the reactor one. superb graphics and sound mar the limp gameplay somewhat.. but if you machine does pal games and you have a light gun it might be worth the £5 postage from blighty.
