Brad2600 Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Xot tipped me off to a local collector who was selling games in the newspaper so I decided to give the collector a call. Went over and checked out his stuff. He's got tons of stuff and I bought 12 games from him. 7 of them are boxed and complete. I don't think they're anything THAT special, but I got Cosmic Ark Atlantis Jr.Pac Man red label Defender II red label Title Match Pro Wrestling Basic Programming Brain Games The last 2 games are in WHITE boxes with black lettering. No pictures...just text. Might be a weird box variation. I paid $50 for all these boxed games and the guy threw in 5 more games for free...all loose: Cosmic Creeps Moonsweeper Turmoil Star Trek:SOS Hangman So that's what I got. Not too bad. All games work and labels are in decent shape. I will be posting my spares of some of these games in the Marketplace forum. Check it out if you're interested in making a deal for the spares. What do you think? Good deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no outer box included with these 2 boxed games I believe someone started a topic regarding late releases because I hear those were plain white boxes with black text lettering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Right... most of those white box games ended up being sold individually as overstock in the late '80s. (Of course, the guy might have, at one time, owned the outer box and the set of keyboard controllers that went with it... the fact that he had BOTH games from this "Pak" [sic] makes me wonder...)

Brad2600 Posted September 16, 2003 Author Share Posted September 16, 2003 What kind of controllers do I need? The regular keypad controllers? I'm not even sure if i have them He has tons of stuff..presumably hidden away. The only games he had on display are the ones that he wanted to sell.

King Atari Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Very nice haul there, and to be completely honest, I'd be having the most fun with that Star Trek SOS. I just really love that game (and I don't even like Star Trek). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csonicgo Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 You lucky thing.. I'm still waiting for another copy of Jr. PacMan (since mine fried) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted September 16, 2003 Author Share Posted September 16, 2003 I have a copy for trade but seeing how you already have one coming, eh well..Jr.Pac Man The guy I bought from might have more games in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 What kind of controllers do I need? The regular keypad controllers? "Keyboard" controllers, Video Touch Pad, Kids' Controllers... functionally they're all the same. But Basic Programming has some overlays that are really pretty essential to make it usable, and they are designed for the "Keyboard" controllers.

I have a box for Othello that is like that...ordered it brand new from Radio Shack before they stopped selling Atari games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted September 16, 2003 Author Share Posted September 16, 2003 I hear it's a late release box variation...kinda plain jane like Jack Tramiel would like it. Actually, these are Warner-Atari boxes. Hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
