Video Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Dark chambers. I played the 2600 bitd, didn't know about the 7800 until Atari 50. Great games, and sufficiently different to justify acquiring both (imo) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tradyblix Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 (edited) 20 hours ago, MarcinJ said: I have already a few carts, but those would be great additions to my collection: Tapper for 2600 Pengo for 2600 Frogger for 7800 Popeye 7800 1942 7800 Most likely any of those won’t be in my possession though. I am not willing to pay hundreds for a game. I got a really good copy of tapper with a very nice looking label. I'm not sure if it's a reproduction or not. Because it seems like a lot better condition than it should be. And it's kind of glossy still, but either way, it is tapper.... And I think I got it for fifty bucks. Thanks to somebody on here, just alerting me to it. So you know you never know, keep your eye out. I wouldn't pay those kind of prices for games that I don't know if I'm going to enjoy them or not. But since I'd already played tapper via rom, and I knew that it was really addictive, I had to have it.

matthew954 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 H.E.R.O Cosmic Commuter My ultimate goal is to try and collect all the 2600 Activision and iMagic carts. I recently got lucky that a friend of mine locally has a copy of each along with several others. We had worked out a trade a couple years ago for my TMNT Arcade 1Up cab, but we both had forgotten about it. Though now with as much as H.E.R.O goes for, I can't justify not paying him something for it lol. With the 7800+ coming, has gotten me to get back into collecting the carts I still need lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maztr_0n Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 i feel like my goal in cartridge collecting is more likely going to based on if a game is under a certain price used, or if i can make an excuse to make a special order custom cartridge!

Thran Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Frogger and Popeye on the 7800 and Laser Gates for the 2600. Those cost way too much for me to buy now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Dan Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Oh, I would happy to fill out my collection with these... 2600 - Star Wars Arcade Game & H.E.R.O 7800 - Commando, Double Dragon & Dark Chambers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DhaemonX Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 Well I told the wife I was done for a while buying more carts. Then I saw a Private Eye NTSC in great condition up for the lowest price I've ever seen for it and no bids yet. I submitted my bid and turns out I was the only bidder for later that day I won! I just told my wife and she was good. I'm done for a while. But yes I got my Private Eye! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean_1970 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Star Wars Arcade is the only cart I have an eBay search set up for; most of the hits are for Empire Strikes Back, which I have and the other two which I don’t want. I’m sure there are others I’d pick up if I saw them in a shop, but I’m content with the compilations I have for Evercade and PlayStation to fill gaps or waiting for Atari to reissue/put out new ones.

tradyblix Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 (edited) Revised: 2600: Tempest (Saw a copy on eBay for 500 bucks) 7800: Commando, Kung Fu Master (even tho no falling animation means it really sucks. Hard to want to pay 100 bucks for something you can get a superior NES cart for for 15 bucks) Edited September 13 by tradyblix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also looking out for Star Wars arcade. Loose copy thou, which is expensive enough. There is currently a(the only copy) on ebay U.K at the moment CIB £450! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This PAL hack from Quelle is a cheap alternative version of Laser Gates🤙 And for that type of game it even helps if it runs a bit slower than the NTSC version😉 Be careful, there are other carts with same name but different label and they contain a total different game😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker667xbl Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I ordered A.R.T.I from AA a little over 3 months ago.. I'm chomping at the bit to get to play it! I just ordered E.X.O too and that's another I'm really going to struggle waiting for...Hoping for Plan B: Escape Earth to get a release sooner rather than later too!

HatefulGravey Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Halloween for the 2600. I saw this question, thought "I'd like to get Halloween for the 2600" so I looked it up on pricecharting and now I need to budget for this game. The price was not like this when I looked last. I mean, Texas Chainsaw Massacre has seen a nice increase as well, and I have that game, so it isn't all bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane857 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Dark Chambers 7800 is probably top of the list for me at the moment. Maybe Motor Psycho.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DhaemonX Posted September 16 Author Share Posted September 16 My heart is broken. One of my bucket list games was PITFALL II. I'm on version 5 of the firmware. Dumper version 1. I cleaned and cleaned the contacts. Other games are working fine. I'm at a loss at this point and paid a lot of money for it too. First one I cannot get to work Btw when you watch the video the sound may be loud. PXL_20240916_215226156.mp4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
