Wanted: 2600/5200 loose carts

[Ballblaɀer]

I need cartridges!  The looser the better!    Trades are preferred (link to my trade list in the Trading Post forum), but sales offers are always considered, too.

I'm almost positive I have a text label Football.  I will check.

Indeed -- I believe you mentioned this one to me in our PMs on AA.  I think I'd rather avoid a trade for JUST this, because the cost to ship it to me would be something like 10x what the game itself is worth (in my mind, anyway)!  That said, I'm *positive* you'll have something else I want soon enough, if not already.  We can build a trade -- we have the technology!

I think at least 3 or 4 of your want list is in the current Junk Box 4.  Maybe they'll be left when it gets back to it's origin.

I have a few of these you want (indy 500, football, homerun)

[nosweargamer]

I have the following.  If you need pictures I can give them too you when I find my camera (still moving in)

 

Football Text (both Atari and Sears Versions)

Missile Command Sears Text, missing end label.

Pac Man Sears, but not NM

Gravitar Red label

Secret Quest

Ikari Warriors CIB

 

Let me know if any of that interests you

[nosweargamer]

btw, my atari football is orange, not green. I guess they made two text colors of it.

I'm interested in seeing photos of Gravitar (Red), Secret Quest, and Ikari Warriors CIB.  Generally I try to avoid buying boxes, but when the price is right and I feel like it's a box I could sell/trade as a standalone, I'll at least consider it!

Send me a photo or three?  And see what looks interesting to you from my trade list.  Hopefully we can work something out!

[nosweargamer]

Actually I took photos of everything before I read your post. The Ikari box does have crushing.

I can take more photos on request, but clicking on the photos should make them larger.

[nosweargamer]

oops. Forgot Secret Quest. Will post later.

[jmjustin6]

Here is what i have i have 2 color variations of football. None of the games have the end labels

[nosweargamer]

Here's Secret Quest.

Also got a sealed copy if interested.

[Ballblaɀer]

@nosweargamer -- absolutely interested in trading for Secret Quest loose and Gravitar loose.  Ikari Warriors... maybe.  Depends on what you want for it, I suppose!  Have a look at my list and let me know if anything interests you.

 alright, I will and get back to you.

Would've done it sooner, but I have had a hard time getting onto the site lately.

[nosweargamer]

I'd be willing to do all three including the CIB Ikari for:

 

Fun With Numbers (text label, missing end label)

Kaboom (standard label)

Stellar Track (Sears pic label)

Tac-Scan

 

Those are the only games on your list I don't have (I made a dummy move and accidentally sold my kaboom thinking it was a double a few months back)  :mellow:

 

Let me know if that works for you.

That sounds great.  Photos of the four:

 

 

PM me with your address -- I can send as soon as tomorrow!

[Arenafoot]

I love me some Tac-Scan!!!!!!   

[RickR]

"Fun With Numbers" is the same as "Basic Math", right?  That's really cool.  I wonder which was first, and why it was renamed?  Really nice trade you guys. 

Edited March 14, 2016 by RickR

[Ballblaɀer]

Yes -- same game.  Basic Math was one of the original nine gatefold-box releases -- i.e. "61  Basic Math".  I'm pretty sure the re-titling to Fun With Numbers occurred in 1980, about the same time as the title change for "Hunt and Score" (which became "A Game of Concentration").  They first appear in the Rev. D 1980 Atari catalog, I'm pretty sure.

 

Why were they renamed?  I can only assume the marketing department decided that including words like "Fun" and "A Game" in the titles might generate a few more sales.  "Fun With Numbers" in a toy store might fool a kid (or parent!) into think it's actually a fun title, whereas... a title like "Basic Math" is as bland (but accurate!) as can be. 

[jmjustin6]

Are you interested in my games?

[Ballblaɀer]

I'm gonna pass, but if you have an updated trade list please let me know, I'd love to take a look!

PM sent!

Send me yours and I should be able to get it out soon.

[Ballblaɀer]

My wanted list (first post in this thread) has been updated -- thanks to trades, finds in local shops, and a few eBay buys in the last week I've managed to cross off a fair amount missing from my collection... even a few scarce titles.

 

I've also updated my trade/sale list with a handful of new 2600 games, and a couple of 5200 games.  If there's something I have that you want for your collection, PM me or post here -- hopefully we can work something out!

[StormSurge]

Sorry Ballblazer, I didn't have a chance to spend time in the basement this weekend. I'm going to make time tonight. I know I have at least one of the games on your list. I'm hoping for a couple more. I'll get pics up tonight.
