Hello, I know next to nothing about these systems so I thought this would be the perfect place to get some help. A gentleman wants to sell me his collection but neither of us knows the value of it. I know some of you guys could give me a good idea of what I should spend on this, thank you!

PS - Is anything really rare in here!?

Please see the pictures, and here is the description from the seller (this is not on ebay but a private dealing).

26 game cartridges:
Qbert
Front Line
Tapper
Baseball ( 3 )
Cross Fire
Heist
Centepede
Time Pilot
Miner 49er
Rocky
Gateway to Apshai
Blackjack / Poker
Omega Race
Mr. DO!
Blockade RUNNER
Donkey Kong
Super Action Football ( 2 )
Mountain King
War Games
Sector Alpha
Mouse Trap
Burger Time
War Room
plus the cassette style games: Buck Rogers, The Best of Broderbund, and 2010 The Text Adventure
plus cassettes: Smart Letters and Forms, Flash Fact Trivia, and Electronic Flashcard Maker.
plus four empty data packs ( cassettes, these are storage )

Also i have ( unopened ) a speare keyboard for the Adam.
Most everything else is seen in the pics. In the interest of full disclosure, the connector on the back of the Adam, where the cable from the TV goes, can be finnicky. It needs to be held in place or the connection suffers. It may be a cold solder connection on the Adam's motherboard. But as seen in the screen shots of donkey kong and war room, the picture is fine as long as the cable is held tight against the Adam. the word processor works fine, I can save to the data packs and retrieve documents, also. The printer works except the ribbon is old and the typed page came out light.

I got this from an ex Atari employee!!! This thing is super awesome. Beats the hell out of the toilet look eh!? LOL

More details coming soon!

as the title suggests. I am looking for information on the release dates of these games. Would greatly appreciate some input. Obviously the best would be if you knew the exact day of release, but even if you remember the month of release thats cool too (for games without even a month listed). heck even if you remember the quarter (q1 q2 q3 q4) of the year it was released..

So I tried to play this game again last night. I will admit it is pretty fun for the most part. But the same thing always happens to me. I find it impossible to avoid flying into buildings in certain parts of the game. It is so annoying. I have played this game atleast 20 times and never get very far in the game without losing all of my planes and getting game over...

So has anyone here actually beaten this game? If only the programmers didn't put so many stupid buildings in the game, the game would be much better in my opinion.

damnit I am getting tired of this... Happening more lately, in particular with disc games. Buyers try to claim a disc they got from you is scratched and doesnt work, but they say they want to keep the game, only they want you to "refund them SOME money" hoping to get as much money back from you as they can. Always they say something like "I dont want to have to leave you negative feedback" So basically they threaten you with a neg if you dont give em money back. Pisses me off.

This time its Tempest 3000 for the NUON. Some some guy on ebay bought it after much haggling me down in price and it was hardly used and worked perfectly. I gave him a great deal, $69 total shipping included, you cant find it for that cheap anywhere online, everyone else wants $90-200+ for this game... Ugh

The other thing, its always the SAME type of person that pulls this shit. They lowball more than once for the same item, and finally I buckle to a low price for them, and they proceed to pull this crap after they get the game to get even more money out of you.

ebay needs to go back to the system where the seller can leave a negative or neutral feedback to a buyer. Its crap the way they have it set up now in the buyers favor. totally unfair.
