Just wanted to share with everyone the local purchase I made. I picked up a lot of 50 Colecovision carts! I thought there would be some doubles but the only double I had out of the 50 was 2 copies of Rocky boxing. When I went to pick up the carts, the guy also mentioned an Atari 2600 module that he had with some 2600 carts that I could have if I waited a few minutes. Of course I waited and he dug out the box with the Module and about 10 carts.

When I got home I started to go through the carts and found some manuals for games as well. Some of the rarer titles I found were:

• Mr Do's Castle
• Star Wars Arcade
• Robin Hood
• Artillery Duel
• Zenji
• Dragonfire

and I may have missed a couple others but overall I am very happy with the games. I'm going through the carts and tried these ones out and was pleased to find out that they're all working.

I do have some bad news, I have a copy of Beamrider that I cannot get to work. I put it aside and will give it a good cleaning and perhaps it will work after cleaning.

As I was picking up this lot, I also made a purchase from Team Pixelboy and have a copy of Track and Field (with a controller) as well as Gulkave on it's way to me. It's always fun to get new games! lol

After I clean up the carts etc (the box was dusty and a bit dirty) I plan on posting a pick of everything. Just wanted to share!

One question... what should I do with any duplicate carts? Do I need to keep one or two for donor carts for future homebrews? Of course, anything that would make a good trade would be used for trades but it seems that everything I have doubles of are of the common or uncommon at best variety. Any thoughts?

Just for the record, I sold him my last copy of Track & Field. That title is now permanently sold out on my end, the only copies of T&F still available are found at Good Deal Games, and I'm not sure how many copies GDG has left at the moment.

I'll keep that in mind. However, considering the shipping cost to ship carts, would there be a number minimum number of carts you would want? I think I might have 10 doubles (all standard Coleco carts).

The more is the better! (less shipping)

I need a bunch!
