Well, I think I made a pretty good deal at the local Salvation Army today.

VCS 6 switch, not heavy sixer :(
2 joysticks
2 paddles
Arcadia Supercharger, no tapes :(
Omega Race with Booster Grip
Skiing
Casino
Sky Jinks
Arcade Pinball
Combat
Starmaster
Surround
Tac-Scan
Star Raiders (Atari version)
Asteroids
Space Invaders
Pac-Man
Phoenix
Stellar Track
Dragonfire
Air Raiders (M-Network)

And as an added bonus:
Donkey Kong for Coleco

All for $25 plus tax.

Like I said, I thought it was a good deal, but just wanted to see what the rest of the gang thought.

My bad, haven't really posted a new thread here before.

most of those games are pretty common but if its something you didn't have before and were interested in, I'd say $25 is a good deal. I personally would have passed just because I already have too much atari stuff and the resell value of all that wouldn't be worth going through the process of. Thats just me though.

That is a heck of a deal. Because shipping is expensive you probably could not make much money off of it if you were looking to resell though.

Are you sure it isn't Donkey Kong BY Coleco? It's one of my favorite 2600 games.

Checked it again, and turns out it was Donkey Kong by Coleco! Didn't see it very closely the first time. I'll have to try it once I get it hooked up.

Its a great deal, actually. The Omega Race and grip alone are worth the $25. I'd have hopped all over that one!

Good deal!
You got a good amount of third party games, the super charger is a great find. Pheonix is good. Dragonfire is repetitive but it's funny to see the dude get hit quickly and how he falls over. Either here or Atari Age are good places to check out Atari games/screenshots and reviews.
