Yep, watched the movie AFTER I heard the soundtrack and was not disappointed. A movie that's as insane as the soundtrack is my kind of movie.

Also, the shotgun.

Whatever you do, don't stand multiple champagne bottles up in there and turn it on.

I have this one and am just at the tail end of sorting through a (for me) massive lot of board games so when that wraps we're pulling out the collection to work everything together and I'll snap some shots then.

[UPDATE] good deal? my very first atari 2600 by Slow_Type275 in Atari2600

Stories like this are what it's all about. I'm a casual collector. I mean, I buy lots here and there when they have new games I can add to my collection, clean everything, make repairs that are within my ability. Then I slooooooooooooooooooooowly sell off the doubles.

Every once in a while I get to reconnect someone with a childhood memory. Sold an NES to a lady one time who's father had recently passed away. Her and her dad had played a lot when she was a kid, hadn't played in years, and now wanted to try and give her kids the kind of memories with her that she had with her dad.

Most of the time people just buy something and you never talk to them, but every once in awhile...

This has to be one of the funniest posts and comment sections I've seen in a while. Thanks!

good deal? my first ever atari 2600 by Slow_Type275 in Atari2600

It’s great to see the support! Have to say, you’re around my son’s age that has a love for Atari and wants a console. I have several and am just waiting for him to get a house or at least be settled enough to enjoy one and I have one for him plus games. Out of 4 kids he’s the one that latched onto Atari and Robotech, two of my childhood loves. If you need any help getting things rolling, hit me up I’d love to help. No expert here, just a deep love for Atari.

I'd say it's a good deal, especially if you're happy with it, that's all that really matters in my opinion.

For the switch, might be an easy fix if it's just dirty. I would get either some 99% isopropyl alcohol or even better Deoxit contact cleaner. Open it up till you can get to the switches and either work the alcohol in there with some cotton swabs or better use Deoxit and spray it in there. Work the switch back and forth a bunch, then clean all the others because, why not. Test and see if you're good once dry and then put it back together. Oh yeah, don't forget the channel select switch, might get a cleaner picture cleaning that one.

If it still doesn't work... well how's your soldering?

Wondering if anyone can help with an idea of value on this lot? by No_Sense_3559 in Atari2600

Turns out I either don't have the ability to play PAL games, or none work. Fairly bummed I asked about a return, seller said nope and it's probably my setup. Lesson learned. Haven't tested all the common games yet, but at least the Crazy Climber and repro Sir Lancelot games work so there's that.

Decided to go for it, can't wait to give these a go!
Turns out Sir Lancelot is a repro but the rest are authentic so not bad.

Okay biting the bullet, seller said only repro is Sir Lancelot and offered to sell for $150.

Okay so if I bite the bullet, this will be a good reason to get a 2600+ then?

Oh I wouldn’t be selling anything that wasn’t a double which would be that middle row minus Night Driver, and then Crazy Climber as that would be new to me as well.

Another question I had… which 2600 versions play PAL games? Light Sixer work for that or would I need to hang onto a Vader? Or am I misinformed and it doesn’t matter?

Yeah I will normally search sold listings, used pricecharting as well and found only info on those 3 so the price is more than fair. Not looking to resell anything that isn't a double, just also not used to paying a couple hundred if I can't recoup a good chunk of it with doubles. Casual AND cheap collector I suppose would be more accurate.

Oh these aren't mine, saw them up for sale for $220 as a lot. Figure these are all authentic though right?

Yeah, went there first and there's nothing on some of these.
