pmpddytim Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Since I'm only 24 I really don't recall 2600 games being sold new, thus my questions: Were Double enders more expensive new because you got two games and how much did they sell for? -Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 some were and some wasn't. I happen to get a rare one for xmas (of course didn't know it back then) chuck norris superkicks/Ghost manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Not really. One of my first Atari games (after Donkey Kong and Mouse Trap) was Spike's Peak/Ghost Manor. This was around 1983 (when it was new), and I seem to recall it costing about $30 CDN, which wasn't as much as it cost for premium titles.

moycon Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Part of the gimmick was you were getting 2 games for the price of 1!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I can't remember back that far myself. I do remember we owned Spike's Peak/Artillery Duel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbowl Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I've got a shrinked copy of Ghost Manor/Spikes Peak with a Target price tag. Its priced at a whopping $5.99 (which I can only guess means that its a post crash cart) However, one of Xonox's slogans was "twice the fun for the price of one", so doubt they would have been more than a regular cartidge. (FYI, the best place to find the old prices are in the old video game magazines.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I wonder how much these cost back in the day... Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I wonder how much these cost back in the day... Cheers, Marco Biaaatch. Now the big question, did they have end-caps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Hehehe.... probably not, cutting costs and all... Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I would imagine that you would want to put the units on their sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
