Title: Atari 5200 Collection Chronicles Post by: Fokakis79 on October 25, 2014, 03:48:21 PM I am starting my path on a new collection adventure. I am going to start collecting for the Atari 5200. I am hoping to get my collection to be 75% CIB for now. I will try and make the games more complete as I can as I go.
I have decided to do this because it has a low amount of games to collect, about 69. It has some amount of challenge to it. It has a few hard to find games that will give me satisfaction to track down. The one that is going to be the most trouble is Bounty Bob Strikes Back and perhaps Meteorites Also the games on the system are very close to the arcade versions, which I find very fun to play. I decided this after picking up a lot recently made up of a system and a bunch of boxed games. I am now in the hunt for games, boxes, manuals, and overlays. It feels daunting but I feel it is realistic. I hope that I can keep my eye on the prize throughout this venture. I got about 9 games right now, so I have long ways to go. Throughout this adventure I will be posting in this thread to document the journey. I will still pick up other things but my concentration is going to be on Atari 5200 for a little bit, so I may use the stuff I find to help fund this venture. Well wish me good luck.

Give me details Title: Re: Atari 5200 Collection Chronicles Post by: Fokakis79 on October 25, 2014, 09:41:36 PM Oh and to make a correction, I have 14 games not just 9.
Also stay tuned for some recent eBay pickups, that I got for an okay price. Will post em when I receive them Title: Re: Atari 5200 Collection Chronicles Post by: Fokakis79 on October 27, 2014, 02:47:31 PM Here are some games, I got from an eBay lot, paid about 5.00 each for them.
Got some more hard to find items coming in from eBay that I snagged for a good price Title: Re: Atari 5200 Collection Chronicles Post by: singlebanana on October 28, 2014, 09:29:36 AM This is one of the slow moving sets I have going right now as well. Good luck and let me know if there is anything you are specifically looking for. I have a few CIB titles (Kaboom!, Pitfall!, Real Sports Soccer), which I'd be happy to trade to you, minus the games of course. I'm not doing the cardboard on this set.
