For the 2600, you can put the switch in "Joystick" mode, and it works pretty well for Centipede, Missile Command, etc.  Put the switch in "trak ball" mode, and give some of the paddle games a try.  Pretty cool.
 
On the Atari Computers, Missile Command is the only game designed to utilize this controller.  You press CTRL-T, and put the switch in "trak-ball"  mode...and it is the most AWESOME thing you'll ever see. 
 
They also make some homebrews that use this controller in "trak-ball" mode for 2600.  There are hacks for Centipede, Missile Command, etc.  Really cool if you have a Harmony cart.

I would never collect them just because they seem like trash to me, gameplay as well as content. However, if I found one in a box somewhere I'd have no problem selling it to someone who wanted it.

I bought this Atari CX22 trak-ball about a year ago and have no use for it. I assume this was meant for Atari computers? It seems pretty useless for the 2600/7800. Looking to trade it for some 2600, 5200 or 7800 carts. I'm guessing it's only worth maybe $15 - $20 so I don't expect much. If interested send me a list of your extras and how many you want to trade and we'll make a deal.

Whew!  I'm really glad you found some good junk to keep.  I really worry about that type of thing. 

I was really hoping Ballblazer would take the Ballblazer manual.  It just makes sense. 

No!  It would be in bad taste to do that.

Took stuff!
 

 
- PS1 longbox game, nice!  Next Generation mag said "Jupiter Strike is noteworthy strictly for having almost no good qualities at all."  Now that's a game I have to try! Sometimes I forget that PS3s play PS1 discs.
- MST3K DVDs, including MITCHELL!  A classic.  Bonus Gorgo artwork.
- Nice lookin' manual for 7800 Ballblazer, which is a cart I don't have... yet.
- Venture (Coleco) for the 2600, which was one of the more common carts I was missing. Great condition, no less.
- Wico Command Control joystick -- one of the best for the 2600, IMO.  I had one, now I have two -- no more fighting over who gets the Wico!  This one feels and plays great.
- A Coleco Gemini controller, which is a neat addition to any Atari collection, if you ask me.  Haven't tested this one yet, but I'm looking forward to it!
 
RJB is packed up and will be heading to the West Coast starting tomorrow...

An SD card slot would certainly be awesome but after buying the first my criteria is:
 
1. Good lineup of titles
2. Proper backwards compatible controller out of the box as was intended with the original, They have had enough time now. 
 
unless those two conditions are met I will pass until they release one that meets those requirements, same goes for future Colecovision Flashbacks. Oh and also I need to be working again to have extra monies for such indulgences

Congrats to the winners, and big giant THANK YOU to StormSurge for doing this.  Very cool. 

There's also a really old and free PC game called "Bridge Builder" that is very statics/dynamics related. You have to build a bridge over various chasms that a train can travel over. It's really a lot of fun for people that like math.

Oh man, that IIc is sure nice.  

Congrats to the winners, and big giant THANK YOU to StormSurge for doing this.  Very cool.

I've never heard of the games "Thanks" or "Brian", but they sound good!  LOL. 

I've got one of those on my list, but haven't ever found one for a decent price.  Yours looks really nice.  Enjoy. 

OK, sorry for the delay, but this junk box was agonizing for me.  correagonzales put in something VERY nice, and I couldn't decide if I should take it or not.  I finally decided that I should, but I hope you'll all give me a little leeway on the "equal value" clause.  I think this thing is much more valuable than what's normally in a junk box.  But gosh darn it, I love Colecovision, and I could not resist.  I hope I made up for it with quantity of more junk added to the box.
 
So here's what I took:
Colecovision Super Game Module and Donkey Kong (both in box).  My gosh, I can't thank you enough.  Such a cool thing to include.  Again, I agonized. INTV Space Battle (in Sears box) -- My favorite INTV game.  i don't own a single Sears box even though I have the Sears Intellivision.  Had to take it. DS Brain Age 2 in box.  At my age, my brain could use some exercising.  Hey look, a squirrel! DS Christmas Carol.  I love a story with comeuppance. Wolverine sticker - took this for my son.  He'll love it.  Tomy Seal Circus -- I figure this has been in the box from the beginning.  I was MEANT to take it.  Thank you NSG, if you're the person that put it in.  Keep calm coaster.  I do like beverages, but hate condensation rings on my desk.  No brainer. Box will be reloaded, re-taped, and in the mail tomorrow. 
 

And controllers that are interchangeable with Sears or INTV2....please???

Congrats to the winners, and big giant THANK YOU to StormSurge for doing this.  Very cool. 

Sweet collection right there and for a killer price.  I have a few extras you don't have that I'll include with the 5200.

Never seen an organ shop but seen keyboard shops similar to this.  And, yes, kids were never allowed to touch even when a parent was present.  At 10 years old I was already a keyboard player having been taught by my grandmother.  Which is probably the main reason why I don't like Baldwin/Roland keys come to think of it.  The Yamaha store across the street from the mall encouraged me to play.  Huge difference.
