Dantaipan Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I already own one but not boxed like this. Was not super cheap but I still could not resist. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 A halfway decent box for any system adds a lot of value. The fact that your system is also complete adds more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erichenneke Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I noticed that the light gun doesn't have any decal/sticker on one side. Mine is like that too. I've always wondered if that's normal or whether it means the sticker came off one side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Dying to know how cheap is cheap as that's a lot of kit in good condition, especially the box. We'll done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the Atari light guns I've owned have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible kid Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) Oh man! Awesome! Congratulations! I stopped trying my local ones, seems they haven't had anything in ages. And I understand not wanting to disclose how much, but maybe a ballpark. Or if it was more or less $ if it was on ebay. Which brings up how much would it sell on ebay? 2 or 3 hundred? I'm thinking maybe more, maybe much more. Sorry, I'm talking U.S. $, I'm not familiar with Canadian.

Dantaipan Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 It was $199 CAD which at today's exchange rate is ~$147 USD or ~£127 GBP Like I said not exactly a steal but in the range that I could not pass on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 It's a good deal for a boxed, complete system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible kid Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) Heck yeah, that is a steal imo. Plus with everything there and all those carts. Well done. Edited September 27, 2023 by invisible kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in 2016 I bought a refurbished unboxed XEGS console, keyboard and PSU only from B&C for 85 USD. And prices have gone up considerably since then. You on the other hand got a good box, a light gun, 7 game carts above and beyond the two pack-ins, and the RF switch for only about 65 USD more than what I paid years ago. The carts alone probably are easily equal to or more than 100 USD all by themselves (eBay would probably have an average selling price of $20 each, so 7 game carts would equal approximately $140).

It's like they were not sure right up until the last minute what cart was going to get packed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"They'll be some shootin'... we know that, cuz, Nintendo and everything...". It sounds like "Duck Hunt"... they got that much right...

invisible kid Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) Reminds me of a documentary on Atari 2600 development. They said marketing would send the programmers a list of games and/or titles they think would be popular. And "Rockfight" was always on the list somewhere. lol Edited September 27, 2023 by invisible kid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've heard that before; yet, no Rockfight exists on the 2600 or the 8-bit computers (maybe some other Atari system?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible kid Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) Yes, I think I saw it on a PS1 Atari Collection Game Easter Egg/Unlockable. A bunch of great videos. You are correct, I think part of the story was they never implemented it and were just joking about the marketing folks. Ironically I like the sound of it! But can't imagine any viable game. lol Edited September 28, 2023 by invisible kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 That is a bargain!! Over here in the UK you'll likely pay that for the stand alone XEGS console with no keyboard.An XEGS boxed, complete, and with the extras like you have, I'd expect to be looking at £400+ at least. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beverly Montgomery Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I have this exact game. Mine is discolored but all in tact. Anyone interested in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
