Working with swlovinist on an art project! I need as many as these three games as possible:

E.T. the Extra Terrestrial
Pac-man
Asteroids

The cartridges should be functional, but I do not care if they have nice labels, torn labels, or no labels. Carts ideally should be in good shape otherwise. I would love to buy these in bulk from someone, because it will stop me from rummaging through boxes at yard sales and flea markets. That stuff is fun, but I'd rather end my search here at DP (and not in a New Mexico landfill).

Two of those three titles helped bring about the demise of Atari, and there was such excess of them that they had to destroy/bury millions of cartridges. I'd ideally like to pay less than $1 per game, which shouldn't be a problem if someone can dig up a bunch for me. On top of that money, I will gladly pay you for shipping and your troubles. Thank you Cleveland!

I'm still working on getting you a quote on how many extras I have to add to your box. Add Combat to that list as well.

I know I have 7 Combat cartridges at home that are duplicates, and I believe 2 E.T. and 5 Pac-man. Not sure on Asteroids...I think 3.

Very cool Shadow! Picked up a bunch of Combat carts from a fellow DPer, so I'm trying to play catch-up on the other three titles, but I will welcome additional Combat carts!

Yeah, sorry on the late shipping...if it comes to it, I'll just toss whatever I can fit into a small flat-rate box and ship it to you in the interim. 70-hour work weeks suck.

I work in the game industry so I know your pain, brother. Take your time.

Anyone else able to toss a few of these in a box bound for sunny Virginia?

So do I... :cheers:
To everyone else: This is your chance to sell off your extra Atari carts that you'd only toss into a lot to pad it up. Don't pass up the opportunity!

I'm sure I have extra Pac Man and Asteroids carts. I have no idea how many I have and I haven't tested any of them recently but I didn't have trouble getting them to work years ago.

That's close enough, I'm sure they still work.

Okay, had some time off work today so my fiancee and I decided to go through some of our Atari cartridges for you. I apparently have 6 different variants of Combat...but I got a list together. I'll send you a PM.

Well I found out that I have four Pac Man carts and two Asteroids carts readily available, I may have more packed away somewhere but I'm not checking right now. There's white paint on an Asteroids cart, Does that matter?

Is that on the cart or the label? If it's the label, not a problem. If it's the cart....if I can remove it with turpentine, then I'm still game.
