Title: WTB: Atari 2600 System and games
Post by: USSEnterprise on March 05, 2006, 10:04:02 pm

I'm looking for a full A2600 system as a gift to my old fart grandmother. She just got her sight back, and really likes the old Arati games. Either a wood grain system or a Junior. Need t joysticks, paddles, and AC adapter. Also looking for the following games:

Pac-Man
Ms. Pac Man
Space Invaders
Breakout
Super Breakout
Battlezone
Video Pinball

Thanks

Check e-bay! They have tons of them on there. I got one with like 23 games for about $25 dollars...you have to be patient to get one that cheap. Most are reasonaly priced but some are outrageous. If I can find mine ( a friend gave me 2 more consoles and a bunch of games) I would be willing to sell you one. Don't hold your breath though...we are currently boxing up for a move.

A Flashback won't work. No Pacman, Space Invaders, or Breakout. I was just watching one on eBay, but I forgot about it for a few minutes, and poof.

I have a good stock of systems right now but no games, pm if you are still interested. I'd also be willing to trade an 2500 system for a Saturn Console if you have one around.

There is a store on RT46 in Clifton, NJ that sells the systems and tons of games for it.

I forget the name of the store at the moment, but could give you directions.  They have ALL of the classics systems available.  I just picked up a 2600 of $25, and a saturn for $40.

Just picked up one on eBay for $35 plus shipping. Its a 4 switch model woody, in original box, with original foam inserts and original papers. Plus, 3 boxed cartridges: Ms. Pac Man, Space Invaders, and something else.

I'm guessing it's Combat.... that one usually comes with every system
