Kialan Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Yesterday I went to the fleamarket...it seemed to be NES day. There were many NES games but I never saw a single controller or console (don't need em anyways). I bought this guy's entire collection for $27. It doubled the size of my collection and they're all uncommon/rare titles around here. 95% of these have the manual. Adventures of Bayou Billy Bases Loaded 2 Bionic Commando Defender of the Crown Demon Sword Double Dragon 2 Dragon Warrior (the) Immortal Jackal John Elway's Quarterback Journey to Silius Karate Champ Legendary Wings Metal Gear (you know the game Metal Gear Solid? well...this is what started it) M.U.L.E. Pipe Dream (rarest of the bunch apparently) (the) Punisher Q-bert R.B.I. Baseball Rolling Thunder Silver Surfer Snake's Revenge (Metal Gear 2) Time Lord I also got Mortal Kombat 2 for SNES. Oh memories. Things I passed up were: more NES games...10 Yard Fight I remember, and other sports titles. An Amiga 32 in a very crappy box. I passed it up because it only had the console. No controller, or games, or power supply, and they wanted $20. Also passed up some Sega Genesis sports titles...and two games which I wish I got: Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Kid Chameleon (rare apparently?) Overall a score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariDude Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 It seems that people now sell Atari stuff first on eBay and only if it does not sell do you then see it at a flea market. Maybe it is not true of all parts but it seems like it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shining slade Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Well, I had a decent find:5200 Wizard of Wor,5200 Blue Print, and a Sears Space combat,...all loose...all for $6 minorleagueguy Do you by any chance go to Super Flea by the galleria mall? There used to be a guy in there that had a lot of games for almost all of the systems. I used to go there, but I've only been back there once since I moved away.

I've never seen an atari 2600 game yet, in an entire year There's always nes, snes and N64 crap floating around but never anything decent... maybe im looking in all the wrong places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisper Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 There's always nes, snes and N64 crap floating around but never anything decent... maybe im looking in all the wrong places Same here in the Netherlands. Enough goodies for Nintendo or Sega fans, but hardly any Atari stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Same here in South Florida. I eventually got so frustrated with the lack of Atari games that I started collecting Genesis games. The good thing is now I have almost all of the Sonic games since Sonic was one of my favorites for the Genesis. I still play it even today from time to time.

pongbeat Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Guys you seem to be unlucky, but in France you can still find some good stuff on flea.... In one week end in Marseille (south of France) -i've found a Jaguar with 2 games (raiden and ninja game) for 7 euros, -one interton Vc 4000 for 2 euros -2 atari 2600 in boxes boths (one woody, one black) for 10 and 5 euros with just 2 games (a guys took the others before me), -one colecovision with Decathlon for 3 euros (missing cables) -one vectrex pad 1 euro But i was very lucky this time, but in France it's still possible to find some stuffs for resonnable prices, but most of the times it's common!
