Is any of this collectible?

Game Rogue,

What I would do, if I were you, would be to private-message or e-mail any webmaster of Atari Age AND Joe from Digital Press. Give them the list you showed us, and ask them how much they think each cartridge is worth. The price you should sell each cartridge for on Ebay should start at the maximum amount you get, between the two of them. Albert from Atari Age and Digital Press's Joe Santulli (www.digitpress.com) are both, unless I'm quite mistaken, very well-steeped in 2600 cart-rarity knowledge. Their guesses regarding value would be among the best you're going to find on the Internet.

What's the cartridge for Sammy Lightfoot like??

 

Just curious.

most review copies from activision came with a blank red label with a typed sticker on the end with the game title (like on matty's web page). DataAge review copies had a generic white or red label stamped like you describe. off your rocker was only available with the "title written with marker on sticker" :

i've seen a picture of the prototype of squoosh before and your description sounds the same.

Yes, the NTSC Prototypes from Activision has only a red lable, like my Dolphin Proto here:

 

Dolphin (Activision Prototype)

 

But the PAL versions look better, they have too a white text on the red lable with ACTIVISION PROTOTYPE, like my Seaquest Prototype here:

Thanks for the info guys... I'm still decieding on how to handle these 2600 and 400/800/XE proto games.

 

I'm out of town on business till the end of the week - but I will be sure to contact the people you've mentioned. I really don't wan't to sell the stuff, since they were more or less given to me.

 

...still who knows.

You know,

 

I hope all of you with loaners and protos out there are considering ROM dumps. Even if you do not put the roms in the public domain, at least back it up on your PC at home. Clearly, if you have the income for these super-rarer than rare games, a few hundred bucks for an EPROM burner/reader should not be a problem. As these games suffer bit-rot, we may be losing some one of a kind data.

 

Just my .25 worth. I do have a way to store the data, and I have a good reputation in the community (at least I think I do?) if anyone finds something unique out there.

I just want to know when these will be on eBay so I can go crazy with the bidding...

 

Peace,

I wish too, that I can dump my Atari Prototypes. But I have no idea how. I have no dumper for Atari here.

 

And I will never send them to USA to Dump them (Sorry not against someone who live there, but maybe they get lost by the post, then I see them never again).

 

Where can I buy a Dumper for Atari 2600 VCS games? How does it look, and is it easy to use? I have only a dumper for Super Nintendo, and this is very easy to use. I need no computer, only disks on them I can dump the rom files.

But how it work with Atari games?
