Atari Pickups
« on: February 12, 2018, 11:49:49 AM »


Really good week for finding Atari carts. No idea why.. just got lucky. 3 out of the 4 were found locally in the 'wild'

I've been on a bit of an Atari kick recently. I find that I move from one system to another as far as interest level. That's why I try to have them all because I honestlly don't know which one i'll be interested in next week.

All very sweet thanks for sharing!

Frontline doesn't look like a Taito Frontline but actually Xevious.  Wild.

Nice finds! Still a rush when you stumble upon “Wild” finds.  ;D

If you find extras or have doubles please let me know.  I'm trying to add to my classic console collection.

Thanks, Phil.

Yeah it's weird to find these games now at random places. I looked all throughout the 90s and rarely found anything this rare.

Not that they are worth too much since they are Atari and not Nintendo.. but still, it's cool.

Yeah I'm looking forward to playing that. I loved Spy Hunter back in the day but never remember seeing it for sale for any system. (Well until the NES version)

The 2600 apparently uses a dual control method.. complete games came with a holder for both joysticks:



But good luck finding a complete one for under $200.

Yes, I have that. It's not a very expensive game (shocker!).

Lower your expectations.
