Sean_1970 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Got this (finally) from the States, one I didn’t know existed. Plays much better than I would have thought, so good job Sega! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheapest so far was a copy of Pac-Man for $.49..... 😁 I legitimately enjoy 2600 Pac-Man. Also got a Space Invaders for $.99.

I ended up eBaying it along with my Jag/Jag CD and the Defender 2000 arcade stick I made back in the mid 90s. Wonder what happened to it all 🤔?

Mine is Dragonfire PAL £80 Yikes! I've just about almost ish (😬) managed to keep to a soft limit of £30. That includes getting boxed and sometimes sealed games too. Bump n Jump, Rampage, Xevious 7800, Dark Chambers, Defender 2, Gravitar, Dig Dug, all under my limit... Dig Dug 7800 sealed, when the postage was added took it up to £45, but it was from the USA. The real biggie was sealed Ms Pac-Man 7800, UK seller, £53 with postage. 😬 Edited January 9 by JetmanUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t play as well on the 2600+ I’m sure, but it will keep notes on your fridge better than a 2600+ 😊👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is Dragonfire PAL £80 Think I gave $75 for Beamrider and somewhat more maybe $89 for Spy Hunter. Oh and NTSC H.E.R.O. was pretty high. Most 2600 are well under $10. The 7800 are higher, $35+, and even though I don't seek them I end up with boxed copies of most of those. But I only maybe 10 from 7800 and need to work on that library more.

Mine is Dragonfire PAL £80 I paid US$30 for my boxed Dragonfire when I was in Chicago. I honestly didn’t look at the price when I bought it and was feeling kinda ripped off after, but given what I’ve paid for some cart-only since then I feel like it was a bargain 😅 Next trip Stateside I’m keeping an eye out for HERO and Beamrider and DK Jr, but I suspect all 2600 stuff will have gone up in price… Edited January 9 by Sean_1970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sramirez2008 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Activision patches are really pricey. I have a patch for all of the games (see below) that I have personally qualified for. I've purchased them over the years, since 2008. Crackpots Enduro Grand Prix Kaboom Keystone Kapers Pitfall! River Raid Seaquest These three are my favorites, because I was able to have the developers sign the boxes during PRGE 2019. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
