Marco(2) Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 I have many cool and unusual items, but I guess my favourite item still is my proudest posession, my Tempest set Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 I was wonderng who owned that. Is your prototype any more complete than the rom floating around out there? Personally I'd rather own the 5200 version, the 2600 just looks nasty. What was Atari thinking? Tempest (hehe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahfish Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 > superjenn: it's an old (obviously ) 2-in-One cartridge from shockvision/brasil. what a nice item, don't you think so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahfish Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 hehe ... that's brings me another good idea for the rankings: new topi: Who's got the "oldest looking" atari game or accessoire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidbrit2 Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 Some of my hardest to find items include Crazy Climber (purchased for an arm and a leg,) and the original expansion port 7800. I've also got some really rare NES stuff, but you probably don't care much about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wntermute Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 My favorite item in my collection is Mines Of Minos... rarity 5 that I got for $1. (And thereafter trounced it thoroughly.. Twin Galaxies has my top score at 980 right now at #1 and I have a score more than twice that I have yet to send in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwilkson Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 I've had the great fortune to live in two of the gawd-awful driest places for collecting: Boston and Sacramento. But I do have a couple of gems... An Imagic display center. It one of those kiosks that holds a 2600 and 24 cartridges. There are 3 buttons that allow you to select a game. The cool thing is that it still has the original keys. It's not in the best shape, maybe a 7 or 8, so I don't use it. But I always wanted one of these as a kid. My 2600 jr with s-video/stereo outputs. Granted, this is not original. I modified it myself. But it's cool and I can never think of going back to RF. Or even composite. And along with that, goes my custom touch pad controller. Bye-bye Sega-thumb!!! And I have shink-wrapped copies of the Berenstein Bears and 5200 Meteorites. But I guess the items that I'm proudest about are the "Kabobber Twins"...my pair of Kabobber lab protos. Maybe because I'm the one who first (re)discovered the game, back in...1996? Maybe 1997. Or maybe because there are only 3 surviving copies of this unreleased game to my knowledge, and I have 2 of them! -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahfish Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 hey chriss, post a pict of your display center in good resolution greetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwilkson Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Jahfish, I don't have acess to a digital camera, unfortunately. But more to the point, I have the display center stored at my parents' house in Missourri...don't know when I'll be able to visit, but not until Christmas at least. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolt Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 While I have a bunch of games that I got cheap (Quadrun, Glib, Z-Tack, boxed Mines of Minos, Waterworld, Guardian, Stronghold, etc.), my favorite item has to be the set of snapshots I found one day--they were taken by an adoring parent of a kid who was in the Swordquest: Fireworld championships. I've told the story a few times and you can find them online if you search the 2600 Connection website, too. They were a great find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman2000 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I'd have to say the favorite item in my collection is the two 8-inch diskettes which contain the WIP source code of 5200 Tempest. My arcade FireFox would be a close second...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhindle The Red Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 My favorite item is a vintage message board thread from 2001 that's been left untouched.... Oh, darn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I would have to say that my favorite item is my 5200 system, mainly because its the first system I ever had, and its been kept in great condition even though it has been used ALOT. I've got alot of great memories with that machine... Then I have a colecovision system that has been used somewhat, but the box is still intact with all of the original packaging and manuals.

atari_wizard Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 my pitfall II - Lost Caverns Game. this game was the reason why i even considered getting back into the old atari days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 mine would have 2 b my sansei super controller, only $3 at a flea market and it brings such joy to so many games. and its great for use with arcade games on my pc too :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I would have to say my boyhood 2600 Woody. My folks split when I was little, and this was the one I had at Mom's (had a Vader at Dad's; still have it too, and I hardly ever played it). The Woody was the first one I ever owned. I can still remember seeing Freeway on it Christmas morning of 82. It sits in my office, not in the gameroom. I still have the Vid-Tari (or vid-trai, I never did know which it was!) on top holding some games. Valuable in memories, not money.

HawgWyld Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I've got two items in my collection I adore -- my Sears Video Arcade II (which cost me a whopping $25) and my top-loader NES (another $25 or thereabouts for the system, a stack of games and the dog bone controllers). I know the Sears unit isn't terribly rare, but I love the controllers on it and it's kind of an attention-getter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuzenTCA Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Hello, My favorite thing is kind of cheesy. I have a severely modded Tandy Controller and a Keypad off of a 5200 worked together to double as a master arcade stick and a Star Raiders, along with reset buttons and power switches made in so that I can sit and play without getting up. I own nothing that is still in the case or sealed. I have about 30 manuals but none of them are rare. I did have a Beagle Brothers cart long ago with a hoard of M-Network Carts, but that was 1985 or so and my house's basement has flooded since then, I really don't consider anything in my old collection to be great, mostly because I had only a cheap light sixer and about 7 games (BB's though) and I am afraid to see the condition of any of it. I really try to pretend it ain't there so I can collect and not worry about the state of that stuff. All in all my favorite item has to be the Tandy Super Controller Deluxe (that’s what I wrote on it after to was completed.) Another reason I like it is because it was made by me and I feel kinds of proud. Thanks, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
