mtshark7 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 haha it might be worth it cos it might arrive a year earlier! I just ordered a pause mod last week and STILL hasn't come in nor shipped last time I checked :-( I am planning on buying alot of homebrew and hacks from the AA store...but another reason I asked was the harmoney cart is rather pricey too (I'm sure ALOT of ppl on here own one). I guess it could be still considered the AA store where you buy that cart sorta lol So wait....no one on here bought any Atari 2600 game (hacks or homebrews) from the AA store? Not yet but I'll probably eventually buy them all to help give an incentive to keep people making homebrews and they will eventually be just as collectable as the classics. I'm tempted to buy two of each and then sell the doubles to you on ebay for $77 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtshark7 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Additional note::: just becuase I said its pricey doesn't mean its not worth it...I'm definately gonna buy one possibly at the end of the summer after I get my money in order once the student loans start coming again :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleman jack Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Paid $42 for one of the Miner 2049ers. Can't remember which one. They both were in the over $35 range. One a little higher. Came close to $40 for Montezuma's Revenge as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss 2600 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Of non-home brews, I paid $32 for Up 'N Down. I paid close to that for a boxed Bachelorette Party/Burning Desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like buying all the games for the price of a few PS3 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtshark7 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Yea now IF only I can stop buying PS3 games then I'd prolly have money for one, lol Additional note::: just becuase I said its pricey doesn't mean its not worth it...I'm definately gonna buy one possibly at the end of the summer after I get my money in order once the student loans start coming again :-( I thought it was cheap.

Spoon Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 The most I ever paid was $40 for a copy of Carnival. But this was back on the first week it was released. It was more than what I usually spent on Atari games, but man did I love Carnival in the arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtshark7 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I have alot of PS3 games I won't play again but its not worth trading in and also since I collect video games I don't intend to sell anything I currently own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, next time you get ready to buy a few PS3 games think about that and use the money to buy a Harmony Cart to fill with replayable games. After that you can go back to buying PS3 games you will only play a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameGirl420 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Only time I can remember was back in 1986...actually I did'nt buy the game,my grandparents did but I remember picking it out.it was Centipede that was on sale at Toys 'R' Us for like 10 bucks! i guess inflation rates would make that around 30-40 dollars today i guess. 10 dollars was alot of money back in '86. but for the 5200......recently I paid $25 for Mr.Do's Castle and 20 for Gremlins. most i ever paid for Atari games.

mtshark7 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I was planning on buying the harmoney cart the end of this month until F3ar is coming out which looks amazing! So I'll buy it in July since I'm almost positive nothing is coming out that I'll like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 The Harmony cartridge will probably be $150 by the time I go to buy one, so that will be the most I've ever spent on an Atari 2600 cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious. Why? Since you have a web page dedicated to it you should have one already. I think you deserve at least a discount for the web page.

RT I see there is a link to the "Random Terrain Tip Jar" on your website. I would like to encourage everyone who has found Random Terrain's website useful to give him a tip so he can buy a Harmony cart sooner. I'm sure anyone who has done any programming in bBatari Basic has found his website extremely useful. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
