sku_u Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 I don't usually post about personal collecting milestones, but when I received notofication that I'd won a Trick Shot picture label, I went to add it to my list when I noticed that it was my 600th different cart for the Atari 2600.

Thats awesome. I know me and you have traded, so at least 1 of them was mine at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Cool. That's about 390 more than what I have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATARIPITBULL Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 You going to post any pictures of your collection soon for us to see? :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Congrats! Wow...600, holy shit! I posted a week or so ago that I hit 300 and thought I was king shit! You serious collectors are envied! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 I remember my 100'th... I threw a huge weekend-long Atari fest with my friends. Most of them didn't understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Congrats, sku_u! That's a huge amount of games to have. I hope to someday have that many games myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted November 2, 2003 Author Share Posted November 2, 2003 You going to post any pictures of your collection soon for us to see? :wink: Right now, my collection's all over my house in crates and containers. Taking pictures of my entire collection would be a futile effort. I'll eventually have a gameroom (sometime next summer), but in the mean time, here are two pictures of about 1/3 of my collection (the part of my collection that is actually organized) as you can see, everything is literally crammed in a corner at the moment (no space for them as of yet): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Congrats ... 600 is, like ... a lot to the Nth degree, and more titles than were officially released in North America. I'm still struggling towards the 200 unique mark. I'm a little over 3/4 the way there so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted November 2, 2003 Author Share Posted November 2, 2003 Congrats ... 600 is, like ... a lot to the Nth degree, and more titles than were officially released in North America. I'm still struggling towards the 200 unique mark. I'm a little over 3/4 the way there so far... Thanks. My 2600 collection of 600 includes label variations, repros, homebrews, and PAL only games. I'm still missing quite a few titles. I don't have nearly as many games as Rick Weis, Rolenta, Sly, CincYnoTi, or CPUWIZ. I'm still missing the following original titles that have a rarity of less than 9: Double Dunk Glacier Patrol Jawbreaker Marine Wars Mines of Minos Ram It Road Runner Room of Doom Stargunner Motocross Racer Shuttle Orbiter Tomarc the Barbarian Wall Ball Diagnostic Cart and quite a few 9s and 10s not to mention plenty of pirate carts, yet more label variations, homebrews, hacks, Prototype Repros (I do not collect original prototypes), and Homevision carts and a number of other PAL exclusives.

SS Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Amazing! I’m truly jealous as I’ve only got about half as many as you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Very nice! I'm jealous too...it'll be a long time before I hit 600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Rats, you beat me to it. I'm just six away from 600 now myself! Anybody got a picture label Flag Capture? I'll trade or buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Are you counting picture labels and text labels separately? I collect both but only count them as one in my totals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsbucs Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Nice SKU_U......not to many more left... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Are you counting picture labels and text labels separately? I collect both but only count them as one in my totals. Any label variant is a "new cart" for me. Otherwise all of my Sears carts except for two would be duplicates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 I just realized a few weeks ago that both Pele's Soccer and Championship Soccer were the same thing. I don't really collect label variations but I'm letting it slide for now. I prefer picture labels unless there's a text label counterpart that's worth more.
