How did you end up at a garage sale in 1993?

He bought a DeLorean on a previous yard sale.

Absolute steal.

Air Sea Battle was my GAME!

You will want a 7800 now!

Yeah, pretty good port of Joust. Ms. Pac-Man too, although it's basically the 5200 version.

Amazing bargain :)

Warlords with 3 equally sweaty try-hards is hard to beat still to this day.

u/corpseluvver Oct 29 '24

If everything is functioning that was a helluva find. As others have pointed out you need a 7800 though to play 2 of your games (and from personal experience, I think they are both worth it)

u/UnclearObjective Oct 29 '24

Great bargain!

u/dylanmadigan Oct 29 '24

Dang.

I got a sega genesis and 20 games from a friend in middle school for $20. I sold it for $60 later and I regret getting rid of it. Especially for that cheap.

Great deal. Those carts have been well taken care of as well. This is the kind of home where you actually WANT them to have Activision games.

You SCORED!

u/PeckerNash Oct 29 '24

The 7800 games wont work on this console.

u/Dazzling_Algae9839 Oct 29 '24

Nice, one of the later 4 switch. Not a 6 switch which would be my choice if mom hadn’t ditched mine without asking. LOL. And 20+ cartridges in box.

u/1Steelghost1 Oct 29 '24

Have mine with the programming kit also!!

A linear 1 Mohm pot to replace the worn one is a fairly easy and inexpensive fix, or you can even take those apart and clean up the track which will sometimes fix it.

u/Budget-Procedure-427 Oct 29 '24

You’re missing the roller ball remotes and the games missile command, tank and breakout.

u/Darkpoet67 Oct 29 '24

Crazy to think how much that all cost back in the day, I remember buying Chess ♟️ or I should say my mum buying it for I think £35 just for that one cartridge

1

u/vincenzobags Oct 29 '24

That's a deal and a half! Good stuff

u/AresWarLord78 Oct 29 '24

You definitely screwed somebody pretty hard

u/TKR211 Oct 29 '24

Wanna trade for a Vader model lol

u/-Zband Oct 29 '24

Sorry Sir, I need to refund your money. The person that sold it to you was not authorized to sell my possessions.

u/MiriOhki Oct 30 '24

(Swipes the extra copy of Berserk, one of my favorites.)

u/WarmPrune9977 Oct 30 '24

Awesome deal man!!!

Lmk if you sell 🙌

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '24

The right price. Nostalgia prices are just nonsense.

1

u/daddyd Oct 30 '24

2x berzerk!
berzerk, joust and centipide are worth the $20 in fun and joy on their own.

u/Liquidgrin1781 Oct 31 '24

I inherited a large collection and 3 actual consoles all with original hardware. I’m excited to play some games from my childhood

u/Exquisivision Enduro Nov 02 '24

Excellent! The console and carts look very well taken care of!
