Good deal on Tandy Coco Games? To buy or not to buy.

[INTVCruise]

Hello everyone, I have the chance to get these games for 140, not sure if its such a good deal or not. In 10 years of collecting i've seen maybe 2 tandy game cartridges. I just got a computer with a small handful and really just want these to play. I figure they are worth atleast 10$ for the fact that you never see them in game store, and shipping alone on eBay for anything is 5$. I dont see anything too rare, I think the diagnostic cart might be worth like 40? and Poltergesit is kind of uncommon? but I appreciate any input!

There are some very playable games in that collection..

It's a good chance to grab a bunch..

 

Any defective or useless titles you could swap out the pcb for a better game anyway

the roms are easy to burn.

i have put all kinds of games on cart .

usually any finance carts became victim to a upgrade

For any labels that have seen better days, you can also download and print out replacement labels from the Color Computer Archive. Well, at least for some of the cartridges - they don't have all of them yet.

Super impressive.  Funny that you went with the actual LadyBug game art instead of the Doodle Bug clone. 

 

Why not just do Joust instead of Buzzard Bait, then? 

 

Anyway, where you could really make some money is to sell Dungeons of Daggorath with the shield bug fixed.
