bcostin Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I tied the knot with my lovely new wife last month. A friend of mine at work gathered up a couple boxes of unsorted Atari and Colecovision cartridges, consoles, and accessories as a sort of grab-bag wedding gift. Excluding some duplicates, it came to about 50 individual titles. Out of those there were 30 carts that I didn't yet have in my collection, mostly 3's and 4's. Awesome! Some of the highlights: - Not rare, but lots of fun: Wizard of Wor, GI Joe, and Mouse Trap - Imagic Solar Storm, Trick Shot, and Firefighter - Kung Fu Master. Ok, maybe not a highlight, exactly. But it is scarce. - The Summer Games, Winter Games and California Games trilogy - Sega Thunderground and Sub Scan - Fox Deadly Duck, Porky's, Alien and Mega Force - Spikes Peak / Ghost Manor. My first Xonox cart! And, saving one of the best for last... - Pete Rose Baseball All in all, a great gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy the Atarian Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Now those are some cool wedding gifts! Congrats on tieing the knot So does your wife enjoy playing Atari games as much as you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella'sGhost Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 That's a cool wedding gift you can actually use!! I gave a friend of mine - who really is not into vintage games - an asteroids cartridge just for fun. He hadn't seen one since he was 14. He was so happy he put it on his shelf along with other things like pictures and knick knacks, as if it was a piece of art. Now he shows everyone - "hey check this out" like its worth something. See, it was the first video game I ever owned, so it means alot to me. It's ok though I have like 5 more now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philflound Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Hehe, I got married last month too, on the 19th. My wife would probably have killed me if we got video games as gifts. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcostin Posted October 23, 2004 Author Share Posted October 23, 2004 Thanks, guys! My wife loves online puzzle and platform games, but she had an videogame-deprived childhood, poor thing. I'm now slowly introducing her to the many joys of Atari. I have high hopes that's she'll come around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviticus Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I WISH I got anything that cool for a wedding gift! Your friend came up with some pretty good finds. I DID, however, get a Donkey Kong machine for my 30th B-day from my wife! Some things are just meant to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
