Title: My Atari 8 Bit Collection
Post by: A8scooter on April 17, 2013, 10:30:29 PM
Hey all, this is the beginning of my videogame collection rebuild. I focus mainly on the Atari 8 bit line which include systems, disk drives, cassette drives, modems, joysticks, cartridges and anything advertising that pertains to the A8 series. However I do plan on collecting for all cartridge based systems ( and for the time being avoiding anything CD based for now.) 

Below you can see my full collection of Atari 8 Bit Cartridges ( the other items will follow but I wanted to get at least the carts up on the site here for everyone to check out.

Thats awesome. Not very often you see a Atari 8-Bit collection.

Sadly this is very true. Between the Ebay prices and the lack of interest to start with in the late 80s ( for XE items ) this is an area that gets overlooked quite often. I like to show this to try to draw interest into this area along with sharing something different. I hope to do this more in the future.

This is a pretty neat collection, I'm impressed. I have only seen this stuff rarely and only played on one once, I think. Anyways, looks good!

!!!! How?!  I really enjoy my tiny A8 collection, and I'm now actively hunting more.  Thanks for sharing/fueling the fire! :)

Ah, the XE.  A great system to have if you want to jam Atari 8-bit.  I'm hoping to get into some 8-bit collecting myself this spring/summer (assuming that Den68/Razor Knuckles/Sauza12 can keep their muddy paws off the moichendise long enough for me to get them).

These are great, they do make me want to add to my Atari 8bit collection!!  You should submit these images to the database here, I am guessing almost none of them exist.

I have them all on my other computer which i wont have access to till monday night . I took all the pics with my IPhone and saved it on there. Instead of using the submit button ( which i assume to be for 1 or 2 scans) if i need to send 20 or so is there a different email i can send the scans to?

there's no way to mass submit images as far as i know, because then the staff would have to spend extra time sorting them all and putting them in the right places. the idea is to be all member submitted data, with the staff just verifying that it's accurate and approving/denying submissions where appropriate. considering it's a rare collection i'm sure they'll accept the images anyway, but if you have a scanner that's definitely the preferred way...it always looks much better than a photo.

just make sure to check the image submission FAQ, it's not too long ( http://www.rfgeneration.com/PHP/about.php?action=policies;id=4 ), it has info on proper dimensions and supported file formats, things like that.

I found some systems in my basement that I packed away a while ago. I figured Id post them up along with the 2 that you probably have seen on my prior posts.

Atari 400 ( 4-Port )( this might be the one that has gold numbering on it. This was bought at the garage sale with the romox carts and was a dealer used model for demos in his game store). This one has a regular serial number. So it was probably just a regular model from new and set up for DEMOS. ) If I remember Ill post pics when I go home tonight. )

*** UPDATED PICTURES TO BE FOUND ON THE FIRST POST OF THIS THREAD ON THE FIRST PAGE***

I finally got enough carts to merit a new update on the ole A8 collection page here. I will be adding systems and accessories along with a shot of some boxed games in the upcoming weeks. And will do another thread on my overall collection of all systems ( Ill link each to the other for easy finding and switching). At the time of this photo ( minus the CIB Cloudburst ( that wont fit in a plastic case on my shelf ) your looking at currently 163 carts. I still have a small but growing collection of carts for other systems including : Atari 2600, Atari 7800, NES, Sega Genesis/MegaDrive, Gameboy and soon to tackle SNES and all other cartridge based console gaming.  Which all will be second to my A8 collection.  

Some items that are still to come in the mail for the A8 include Donkey Kong (Silver Label), Galaxian (Silver 8000 series label), Mario Bros ( XE Label ), CX85 Numerical Keypad, A slew of random cheapy A8 carts for trade or sale.

I've never even heard of Atari 8 Bit, but you've spread the word to at least one new person and now I'm going to research it. MAYBE my cousin had it. I vaguely remember loving to play Miner 2049er and it was on some kind of computer. Great collection!

EDIT - Any difference between the 2 Wizard of Wors or the original Atari Writer and silver label Atari Writer?

Those are just label variations . Same software inside. Like how the Atari 2600 has Picture and Text Labels. With titles like BASIC, AtariWriter the silver later is a later version of the software ( updated software with less bugs). but most of the label differences are just labels and nothing to do with the software.

I recently grabbed a copy of that 8 x 10 Missile Command manual and it's getting framed to hang in my gameroom. Love the art and Missile Command is one of my all time favorite games.
