atari70s Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 8 yrs in the making and never giving up i have secured a copy of the original Quadrun. i am so excited i dont know what to do first. this is one of 3 items that i am finding hard to believe i can get ( all in a week or 2) but this is should be a very exciting next few weeks. im im so pumped. i think i might start a prototype collection next . since i have most of all the released games i think protos are a good way to go. what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio F Software Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I say more power to ya to go get protos! If I could afford forking out the $$$ Id start a collection bigger than 70 NES games. Maybe youll find a secret proto like the 2 unknown Activision ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 congrats on quadrun. I can still remember the feeling of overwhelming joy I had when I found mine for fourteen cents at a thrift store. Just remember one thing, make sure to PLAY the game. Quadrun is one of the few uber rares that is also an AWESOME game. If you can't figure it out on your own, the instructions are in an old issue of atari age magazine, as well on this site :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philflound Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I say more power to ya to go get protos! If I could afford forking out the $$$ Id start a collection bigger than 70 NES games. Maybe youll find a secret proto like the 2 unknown Activision ones. You only have 70 NES games? You should hit up Funcoland. IF they still carry NES. They used to have tons and tons of games. I've pulled in over 400 games for the NES in the past 6 years and I never paid more than $5 for a cart. As for the protos, they aren't that easy to acquire. I have many (I'm not selling ), and I remember paying like $75 each when I got them about 6 years ago. I don't even think about getting any more in the future. Probalby will cost me a small fortune I don't have. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarinvader Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Damn. I've been collecting for about 4 years and the rarest cart I have is Custers Revenge, and that's nothing to be proud of... I got excited seeing a manky old Junior - although it was a short rainbow - in the wild the other day. I hate being in a PAL territory. Well done though...
