HP Atari King of Michigan Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I just got three rare games for the 2600. One is Strawberry Shortcake: Musical Matchup, the other two are Raquetball and, the infamous Name This Game, which is my best find to date! I haven't played these games yet. What are your thoughts on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagFan422 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 (edited) Name this Game is not very rare. I have a copy and i've seen a few copies at my local game exchange, with my experience, i'd rank it a 2-3, not 3-4. Your other 2 finds are probably more rare, i don't own either and i've never seen either out in the wild.

Foxsolo2000 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Out of the three Raquetball is the most enjoyable to play followed by Name This Game. Strawberry Shortcake was designed for young girls in mind but who knows, maybe you could get a kick out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stop_rebel_scum Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Those are all decent carts, but yea, nothing rare. Shortcake isn't fun. Racquetball is awful, but interesting to look at a for a moment.. my friends all have a copy each for some reason, so maybe it's not all that hard to run across. I think name this game is tons of fun personally. You have to keep shooting the shark, the tips of the tentacles, And keep getting air from the boat. The fellow up in the boat doesn't care that you're dying down there, his hair is all streaming in the wind and he's havin' a great time. The shark is happy when it finally gets you and runs off with your legs sticking out of it's mouth and the octopus is obviously having fun too. Did you get the grip case name this game or the standard cart? I have both, and the standard cart says "name this game and win 10,000" whereas the grip case just says name this game. I would name it.. uh.. Octopus's Garden. Return of Octopussy. Uh.. Diver down. Slippery when wet. uhm.. holy diver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpfalcon2003 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I would say the Strawberry Shortcake one is a little rare too because i never have seen it in the wild either. I have the others before though. Strawberry Shortcake isn't worth that much though. Just more rare than the regular commons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbrad Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Congrats on finding carts in the wild that you don't have already. That's worth enough by itself. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 When I was a kid my little sister loved that Strawberry Shortcake game, I hated it because I would have to wait an hour or so to play my games. If I tried to shut it off she would yell for mom then we would get a lecture about sharing. Those were the days..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rik Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Out of the three Raquetball is the most enjoyable to play followed by Name This Game. Strawberry Shortcake was designed for young girls in mind but who knows, maybe you could get a kick out of it I have Cabbage Patch Kids Adventures In The Park,for CV,a girly game for sure,but its actually challenging for a kids game,and of course Smurf Rescue In Gargamel's Castle also for the CV,Monkey Academy,I'm a fan of those kids games,I get kind of sick of aliens and monsters after a while.

Starhopper Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 My six-year-old daughter loves to piddle around with the Strawberry Shortcake cart . It does nothing for me, though. "Name this Game" was a rather interesting diversion, that I remember. . . Unfortunately, my cart met with an unfortunate and messy demise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HP Atari King of Michigan Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 I just played all three games the other day and I thought Name This Game was the better of the three. Strawberry Shortcake was just stupid. Raquetball was just all right, but Name This Game was more challenging by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Thag Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I just found Name this Game in the wild too. I figured it was some kind of educational title, but it actually turned out fairly decent. My only gripe is that it's too easy. I also found strawberry and raquetball in the wild. I'll agree that the requetball game is playable, if not amazing.

Crazy Climber Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I see Raquetball ''in the wild'' quite often but its always missing the end label and more than once I saw it with both labels missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HP Atari King of Michigan Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 I see Raquetball ''in the wild'' quite often but its always missing the end label and more than once I saw it with both labels missing. Ironically enough, my cart also has the end label missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
