Lemmi Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 It all depends on which ones O`shea's run out of first and which ones are not that common on other online atari sales sites I would think Gravitar, Solaris, MS pac man would be a good start for the 2600 and Ballblazer, Ms pac man for the 7800 but this isnt my expertieze(sp?) in other words i really have'nt a clue sorry [ 12-21-2001: Message edited by: Lemmi ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, and welcome to the wonderful world of collecting! Here are two useful links if you're interested at looking at the rarity for various titles: Atari 2600 Rarity Search Atari 7800 Rarity Search You can also use the search box that's located on every page (except for inside the message board area). If you don't enter anything into the search field, all results will be found. But be warned, there are 876 titles in the database for the 2600 just for North America alone. Hope this helps! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 Here, I'll help out with the 2600 games: With the exception of Football, every game on your list is a AA rarity of 2 (common) you should be able to bump into these games as thrift stores and flea markets with ease.

Atari Master Posted December 26, 2001 Author Share Posted December 26, 2001 Woah, thats weird, thats not the one i have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 quote: Originally posted by Atari Master: Woah, thats weird, thats not the one i have. Perhaps you have the Sears version then? That and the Atari version are the only two Star Raiders that were released on the 2600. While the label, box and manual are different between the two, the game itself is identical. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
