jeepnut24 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Adventure... I can't seem to find it anywhere in the wild. Haven't been able to find it in a lot on ebay either. Its one of those games like Kaboom and Mario Brothers that seem to get bid way up. Oh well, Ill find one before long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuddy Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Frogger. I've been too lazy to look for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBP Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Centipede and Combat. Honestly. The reason is that I'm not going to buy them individually for a couple of dollars equivalent each, and pay a couple of dollars shipping. I'm waiting for them to come up in a lot with a rare one I want but I never seem to hit lucky. I got Phoenix only last week, and I've been collecting 2 years.

Whisper Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Adventure... Same here! When I bought my first 2600 2 months ago I was sure that the first game I'd buy had to be Adventure. Since, I have never seen it pop up as a loose PAL cart over here. Seen it on German auctions though, but I'm a cheap bastard and shipping usually makes it too expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 uh. it will be simpler for me to list the carts i *have*. - missile command - lock n chase - grand prix - summer games yep, i own exactly four carts =) oh, i also had river raid II, but i slaughtered that one to build an adapter for an eprom simulator.

geaster Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 Is it time to gather together everyone's extra common carts and redistribute the wealth, so to speak? Seems like a good opportunity to me... I have a box of dupes I'd be willing to donate to fill other's collection gaps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisper Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 And you picked River Raid II and not Missile Command to sacrifice, that figures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 i regularly play missile command, river raid II bored me to death. i actually don't care about rarity =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOK-dfa Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 And you picked River Raid II and not Missile Command to sacrifice, that figures Yes it does. Missile Command is a much better game (at least in my opinion) Cheers, Raymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 River Raid IIs don't exactly grow on trees. Why not trade it/give it to an appreciative gamer rather than brutalize it? It ain't Combat, that's for sure. Believe it or not, when I first compared collections with the MMF I actually had a game to trade which he didn't own. A Sears Backgammon which ended up being a birthday gift anyway. That was probably the most common cart that he didn't own at the time. Now I think the most common cart that he doesn't own would be an original Quadrun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 My goal in collecting was really just to re-acquire everything I owned as a kid, plus everything I had wanted as a kid. That's pretty much the same goal I currently have. I managed to dig up a box of about 20 carts that actually were mine as a kid when going thorough some old stuff' I'm up to somewhere around 70 now, but am mysteriously missing Space Invaders. Not for long though, I've got yet another system on it's way with a few loose carts. Space Invaders is in the lot. -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisper Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Oh, never played River Raid II, it looks nice from the screenshots. I do like 1 very much, it's my most frequently played 2600 game. Missile Command is nice too, but for some reason I hardly ever play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I'm missing a NTSC Oscars Trash Race. I have a PAL one and never got around to getting a NTSC one. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Street Racers I had one and then it died. No big loss, but a definite common gap in the collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
128bytes Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 The only rarity 1 carts I don't have are Football and Star Raiders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I have too many gaps, though I only go after the games I really want to play. Rare or not. Now that my 5200 is dead I'm thinking about trading away my carts since I have so few anyway and go after my fave 2600/7800 games. I don't have anything special there, Blue Print is probably the rarest. I really need to think about that for a while. I have a few more 2600 Sears carts I don't need as well. Time to take inventory.

davepesc Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Football, Donkey Kong, and Casino. I don't even have all of the R1s yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I'm missing all the Sears titles( except Target Fun ). I'm missing Crackpots( rarity 4 ) Also missing Super Cobra ( rarity 3 or 4 ) I looked through the M Network/INTV listings just now and realized I have every ( some blue, some white ) Intellivision game released( Including Sea Battle and Sword Fight) I need to count( and organize ) all my games again, this summer...

Mot Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I have been dieing to get my hands on a Riddle of the Sphinx Rarity 2!!! for the longest time (about 2 years). I just found it loose for $3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uosipa llamxew Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I am not a completist of any sort. I only collect those games that I like to play. I was noticing that I have a few of the games mentioned, that I wouldn't mind putting up for trade for other common carts: Maze Craze, Centipede, Street Racer, Oscar's Trash Race, Donkey Kong and I'm pretty sure I have ET and an extra copy of MsPacman around here somewhere. :-) The insanely common carts that I don't own are Frogger, Q*bert, and Popeye! How weird is that?! I owned these as a kid, but just haven't happened upon them in the wild yet... actually I saw a Q*bert in the used game shop the other day, but the label was shyte and they wanted two bucks for it. I passed on it as I don't expect there to be a shortage of Q*bert carts very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 i have it now, but for like a decade I never had Combat. I started out with a Columbia Home Arcade....a rebadge of the Coleco Gemini that had a short lived cart-buying dealy. And my first "bundled" game was Frogger. Maybe that's why I have such a jones for tank games even to this day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
