Does anybody have any suggestions? Don't suggest Missile Command, Asteroids, Space Invaders, Basketball, Combat, Frogger, or Pole Position. I already have those or I am getting them. Please give some good suggestions.

Thanks Riley, I'll make sure to pick those up while game shopping. I know a great place with hundreds of 2600 games.

I suggest the following from my favorites list:

Motorodeo
Lost Luggage
BMX Airmaster
Lock N Chase
Stampede!
Space Master X-7
Turmoil
Freeway

And of course no collection would be complete without the only 2600 game from RFS Media Productions: Pineapple 2000. :P

EDIT: Actually you cannot go wrong with anything from Activision. They were an amazing company in the age of Atari.

You can get one on eBay with full hookups and a few games and joysticks for about $20.

Likewise, you can also get huge lots of fairly common games (Maybe a few duplicates) for the same price if not a little more.

You can also check forums that have special "Buy/Sell" forums, www.AtariAge.com is one of them, www.RFSHQ.com is another. Right now they only thing that looks like it will sell on my site are older video games, so you're in luck.

Thanks, I am becoming a collector of old games and systems.

It's a nice hobby but I highly suggest you learn what's rare and what isn't, and learn when you are making a good deal and when you are being ripped off. It is extremely easy to get confused to fall into a scam thinking something is "rare" if you don't know otherwise.

I am looking up some games I got at garage sales for like 50 cents each and some of them are worth from 10 to 20 bucks. Good deal?

Very good deal. ;)

I bought a copy of Bible Adventures ( :rolleyes: ) for NES for $8, but the case it came in is the black "Color Dreams" company case, not the baby blue "Wisdom Tree" style they made afterwards. Pretty uncommon version of the game. ;)

I have a nice vintage video game store near my house, you can buy Atari games there for about $0.50 to $1.50. They have some good games too, you can also play them before you buy them on their Atari, NES, or other systems they have hooked up. And, thanks RFS, I'll make sure to get Pineapple 2000.
