A rare manual with a loose cart. And I have 7800 Dig Dug, but I do like 2600 version. I actually prefer the 2600 version of Dig Dug to the 7800's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane857 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I was happy to pick this up earlier in the week. I payed £55 thou it is quite rare at the moment, especially with a colour label. A very good version for the 2600, minus the speech and music of the C64 version obviously. Has there been an enhanced homebrew version of this 2600 game? 🤔 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM_ Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) It’s been a productive couple of months of collecting for me. Picked up a few gems that I’ve been wanting for a long time now. I even unearthed a box of Atari branded games in a bookshelf I had forgotten about. So counting both 7800 and 2600 games, I’m at a respectable 191 and one column away from filling up both my 2600+ drawers. I’ve got 2 more on the way that aren’t pictured below (Kool-Aid Man, and Private Eye). The majority of my games work on 1.1r2 FW. All are NTSC, and have been tested against my close to death 7800. Only games that don’t yet work are: Pitfall 2 James Bond 007 Smurf Rescue Time Pilot Zaxxon All 2600 games that need the keyboard controller Time now to just kick back and work on my high scores. 👍🏼 Edited February 14 by MikeM_ 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peloquin17 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 It’s been so hard to find 7800 games by me. They used to be all over the place and people couldn’t give them away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m really glad I picked mine up a couple years back. What is out there is so much more expensive now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peloquin17 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Considering I almost had a complete collection years ago and sold it, I only started re-collecting since January when I got the 2600+. im not doing that bad. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Havoc 2049 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Here are my lastest pick-ups. I think I'm done for a while.🤣 I've been buying more games than I have time to play and I bought all the new 7800 re-releases, controller and extension cord as well. Time to finish/master some of these games and chill for a while. I also need to sell all my doubles from back in the day, clear the clutter and use that money to buy a few more games that I want. I got this shrink wrapped lot in one listing for what I think is a good price ($70 + S&H). They all have that too tight shrink wrap, in a packing box for too long, slightly warped boxes thing going on, but they are in decent shape. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be nice to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is out there is so much more expensive now. I got Robotron for the 7800 loose. The price wasn't too high. It is ridiculous how much these 7800 games are going for now. That's why it's good that Atari is bringing out the re-releases at a reasonable cost. I think $30 is the sweet spot. No reason to pay more. Also, with the re-releases you get the game complete with the box and manual which is nice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beamrider, now that's a rare one. Here in the U.K anyway. Tower toppler and motor psycho are 2 I would like to get hold of. Both underrated games in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that I got Beamrider 2008😊 Edited February 15 by DEANJIMMY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuff Dam Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 King Kong isn't that great to be honest, it's a Donkey Kong clone and it's quite slow but at least the cartridge looks good 😁. I picked up Beamrider for £25 which is pretty cheap in comparison to the prices on Ebay so I'm very happy with that find. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEANJIMMY Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Here we have... Fire Birds on the left and Sky Alien on the right😉 Even the originals are the same game with different sprites. I got Scorpion long time ago and today Space Raider arrived, which might be the same game as "Invasion der Ufos" but I like my label more🤗 And they play well🕹 Edited February 15 by DEANJIMMY 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.E.R.O , Pitfall etc. Really bland. Activision carts mainly. When you look at carts like these, It really makes you want to play the game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
