I'm at a local game store looking at random games, and make my way to the Atari 2600/Intellivision section. My jaw drops when I see that some wonderful collector has decided to sell off his complete vintage Intellivision collection and a few Atari 2600 games including:
Atari 2600 -
Q*Bert's Cubes - MINT, complete
Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back - MINT, complete
Basketball Sealed (not such a big deal, I know..)
Intellivision -
Boxed, MINT System Changer - 2600
Boxed, MINT Voice Synthesis Module
Sealed, MINT Burgertime (3 of them)
Sealed, MINT Frogger
Sealed, MINT NFL Football (old type)
Sealed, MINT Football (new type)
and, about 50-60 games, all in box, with manuals and overlays.
Now here's the rub:
EVERY SINGLE sealed game was $3.99
EVERY SINGLE open/complete game was $1.99
GAME CHANGER was $19.99
VOICE MODULE was $9.99
Now, Austin is not famous for vintage games, nor have I been collecting anything other than NES for the last 5 plus years. So, to me, this all looks very, very cool.
I know that the Q*Bert Cubes game is a great find, and that complete games for about $2.00 are typically a good deal, but what I am hoping to find out from the panel of experts on this forum is:
"What games should I be looking for - if I should be looking out for any Intellivision games in particular, what would they be??"
Any help is appreciated (and since I don't have the Guide yet, that obvious answer will not help me much.) Thanks!
