I'll cut to the chase here. Picked up this lot for $50.
I collect nes/snes/n64, so I'm not too knowledgable with colecovision/intellivision/atari/odyssey^2, but I have faith in you guys. Is there anything ridiculously rare here? Any really valuable? Any must plays? There are 7 sealed atari games, which I found pretty cool.
So here are the pics.
I just realized that you can't read the titles that well, due to small picture size, and semi crappy camera, but I can upload larger pictures later, or pictures of specific games if wanted.
Colecovision, Intellivision, Intellivision II, Odyssey^2, along with weird coleco joysticks, steering wheel, and expansion module.

So how do you guys think I did?

Not bad for $50. I did see two copies of E.T. though. I suggest you bury those in a hole in your back yard at once.
Not bad.. especially for a collector. I remember seeing Atari games at the dollar store when I was a lot younger (early 90s). Was this from an online auction or a second hand deal in person? I'm definitely interested in hitting up garage sales and other markets for deals like this over the summer.

Absolutely Incredible Deal! I don't know about "Golden Age" consoles and games but the guy at my local PNT does and he'd be going nuts if he saw this.

I saw it www.kijiji.com , a site similar to craigslist, but it very popular here.

That's the odyssey^2.

PNT? I'm not familiar with that, what is it?
My uncle is coming over soon, he used to collect this era of games, so he's going to hopefully tell me what's what.

The two games are "Chuck Norris Super Kicks" (LOL) and "Artillery Duel" on one cart, and the other is "Ghost Manor" and "Spike's Peak". They are for the VIC 20.

Thanks. I'll update the thread if I end up selling/trading anything.
I have never seen any "Spectravideo" stuff before, does anyone know what the scoop is on that?
Edit: Is digitpress reletively accurate? It has the chuck norris double cart as $18, not bad if that's accurate.

Not bad, I have gotten cheaper and bigger atari and intellivision lots at garage sales, but some of those systems i have never seen.

Digitpress is great in my experience for knowing if a game is rare or not, but their prices are a very rough approximation and haven't been updated in a long time as far as I can tell.
Ebay is probably the best bet to see how much you can get for these old games. Just look at completed auctions.

All I can say is the fact that you have 2 copies of ET for the 2600 makes this lot an instant win X2.
LOL Seriously though, I never even knew they made Rampage for the Atari 2600 or California Games for that matter.
I remember playing Smurfs on the 2600, which was OK for it's time, but I always kind of wished they would've made a newer version. Then again, most modern kids probably don't even know wtf The Smurfs are.

Pitfall II = instant win - my favorite game for the 2600. I'm jealous to be honest lol.

Heh, my uncle came up to look at them, and as soon as he saw ET, he just started to laugh!

California Games was a decent game for the Atari. My uncle sent it as a Christmas gift when I moved to Germany in second grade. I couldn't tell if he was trying to send a gag gift or really felt sorry for me being in below freezing weather for the first time.
