Allright, I'll be honest, I'm gonna brag here. I came across this terrific find in a local junk store on Saturday.
Kangaroo (silver)
Centipede (silver)
Millipede
Crossbow
Road Runner
Midnight Magic (box rather tatty)
Off The Wall
RS Volleyball
RS Soccer
Xenophobe
I saw the Centipede box thru the shop window quite by accident and decided that I really should investigate. The guy in the store sold them to me for £2 each - Joy!
I just needed to share this.
Anyone else have any luck?

Happy chap

Seriously, check out the boot sale in Chichester. You don't find 'em every week but if you go during the summer I think you'll find the odd few there. It's a bit further but Burseldon (nr Southampton) is also a place of occaisional Atari bliss.

All of the games were boxed with manuals - except for Road Runner (no manual). Xenophobe is in tip-top condition. Mainly they were just dusty (all clean now!)
It's been almost 10 months since I last came across anything outside of eBay.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The last win I got on that was 3 1/2 years ago, a whole ten pounds. To date I have only managed that 3 times!. You should ask me which 6 numbers will definitely NOT come up - I'm so wrong, I'm right.

Yep, quite near my house. Glorious recipient of stolen goods that it is
I'll have a look in there if I can push past the criminals.

You southerners have got it easy - take a good look at the location of ALL the main ebay Atari sellers in UK - Lancashire/Lancashire/Lancashire
I havent found a boxed cart in the wild for years. Although there si still a good selection of speccy trickling through the cheapo auctions.

How about we meet you and drop down to Div 1? I've watched too many seasons to feel comfortable yet - can we please just play Nuneaton Girls' School under 12's 2nd team until the end of the season? I might just think we stand a chance then!

All too true. That young lady has a viscous left foot and an attitude far too cavalier toward other players health for my liking!
