Adonick Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I was at the flea market this morning and this guy had a box full of atari games. Well, not a load, but he had some. I asked how much he wanted for them, and he asked if I saw the system. He was selling a Vader system with all the hookups, loads of joysticks and a paddle set, the star raiders controller with overlay, a coleco footpeddle, et al. I asked how much he wanted for it. He said 15 bucks. I was like inside. I actually bartered him down to 12 bucks. At the end of the day, here are the spoils of war. 1 Vader Deck with all hookups, good working condition. Uses old switchbox, so still some fuzziness but nothing serious. 2 copies Frostbite 2 copies Plaque Attack Infiltrator Megamania Sky Jinks (International Version, WTF?) Robot Tank Baseball 4 Working well flight style joysticks, two button by spectravideo, one with autofire. 2 chewed on (by dog, or by baby, or by angry gamers) Atari joysticks, one without rubber cover. For some insane reason, Coleco Footpeddle For some insane reason, a C64 Power Supply For some insane reason, Star Raiders Control with Overlay, but no game. Casualties of War / DOA's 1 Set of Paddle controllers that may be able to be fixed with a soldering gun. 1 Game Ice Hockey Not bad for 12 CDN, or around 9.50 USD.

Mindfield Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Very nice, indeed! I assume the one mentioned there is "Infiltrate" (Apollo) rather than Infiltrator (an 8-bit flight sim/action adventure). Activision "International Versions" are Canadian releases with bilingual cart/manual/box. I have Pitfall and Ice Hockey in these flavours as well as standard.

shining slade Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 2 copies Frostbite 2 copies Plaque Attack Would you wanna part with 1 of those doubles? I could use a better label for each one. I have plenty of trade bait :wink: LMK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adonick Posted July 18, 2004 Author Share Posted July 18, 2004 Atarileaf : Live in Wolfville, Nova Scotia Slade - I would normally be obliged but I'm giving away all my doubles with my 2600 Jr. to a friend who is really wanting to get into classic gaming. I wouldn't say giving so much as selling for what I paid for it, which is 15 bucks for the kaboodle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Atarileaf : Live in Wolfville, Nova Scotia Ah you're ok then although Inanimatecarbonrod might wanna find you. He's a Scotia boy too I believe. I lived in Glace Bay for a while in Sydney. Nice place in the summer, hate it in the winter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebue Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 How much would Plaque attack go for? I saw one at a gamestore, but I think it has a little actiplaque (how ironic ) on it for $3 or $5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Nice find! I find deals like that are what keep me collecting. You have a long dry spell, then all of a sudden it rains and all is well again. I heard someone found a Gas Hog here in Canada for the princely sum of $1 recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hit the thrifts regularly here in .ca you will find Gas Hog, Bumper Bash, K-Tel carts and plenty of Zellers carts. Its only a matter of time. I have found 4 Gas Hogs and 3 Bumper Bash's over the last 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I have found 4 Gas Hogs and 3 Bumper Bash's over the last 10 years. Never found those in the wilds of Windsor. Um, now I know why! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
