    I didn't see much I could name. The three double enders are of interest as well as Suicide Mission because that's an Atari 2600 Supercharger game. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starpath_Supercharger) You should keep an eye out for one of these, I'd imagine the seller would have it listed in the Craigslist ad if they had one but you might want to ask anyway.

    Yep. Probably gonna pass though, I wasn't alive during the 2600 days so I don't really have any interest in collecting it, and don't think its resellable.

    While nothing outright valuable, this is a good price for a starter 2600 collection with many very uncommon/almost rare games.

    There are some nice mid-level rarities but nothing that jumps out at me. I think I saw a couple of Supercharger games. The Xonox games are nice (double-enders). I personally don't think its worth $300 but for someone starting it out, its not terrible.

    The guy wouldn't put anything too rare into that collection, since he lists things like label variations. He obviously knows about Atari collectability. Marine Wars was one that stood out, along with the Supercharger games. Like it's been said here, there's a lot of mid-level rarity games there, and it looks like it would be a fantastic starter collection for someone who's first getting into the Atari 2600.
