Title: One my best finds of the year today
Post by: snes_collector on April 30, 2006, 04:22:46 PM
I got one of my best finds(if not the best) of the year today at the flea market. I got:

Atari 2600 system(one of silver ones, not the black ones) AC adapter and another cord
SNES Controller :o
And 23 games:

Missle Commando
Volleyball
Kaboom!
Donkey Kong
Keystone Kapers
Crackpots
Space Jockey
Battlezone
Super Football
Mario Bros.
Dig Dug
Vanguard
Dodge 'em
Centipede
E.T.
Pac-Man x2
Pole Position
Space Attack
Asteroids
Moon Patrol
Journey Escape
Galaxian

Total cost? 5 bucks |D

Now I get to experiance Atari for the first time.

Funny thing the other week when I first saw this the console was marked 30$ and the games .75 cents each, didn't cost me near that  

He said it was missing some cord, I can't remember which now though....

I sure hope it works.......

Oh, and hopefully I'll get some pics in a day or two.

you got a good selection of the best games for the 2600 that's for sure.

and the gem of course is Journey Escape!!

Sauza picked that one up at Cinci Classic and I'm quite certain it's the jewel of his collection as it is mine.

The cords and controllers:

Does that look like all the cords I need to hook it up?

Hopefully I can get this tested soon.

the system is a atari 2600 jr. and you do have everything except means of a rf switchbox or this end connector. http://www.atariage.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21_28&products_id=42

you can get them from radio shack too. eBay is flooded with them. Other electronic stores may have them in stock, so just stop by a few and ask.

Make sure you pick up Pitfall II: Lost Caverns.

It's my favorite game for the system & is fairly cheap. Usually can be found for 10-15 dollars shipped.

Bu an F Type connector to hook up the system it is the easiest way to do it. I will post a picture of one I got from Radio Shack tonight when I get home.
