Rare Video Games Auctions, Sales & Pricing

So we have already mentioned this auction, but I feel it deserves a little more info for the non 2600 Collectors. This is not a game as such, but a programming tool, one which was probably only available via mail order. The cartridge has a simple white paper ;abe; with some typed text that says [...]

Game and instructions are in separate auctions, and surprisingly enough, the instructions are getting more than the game right now, AND it has longer to go before completion! I suppose as rare as this game is, the instructions are probably even harder to find since most of the instructions made were probably thrown out, or [...]

Remember that Skull Island Atari 2600 Homebrew I mentioned late last year? Well it hasn`t been released yet, but it still prodding along.

The Music Machine franchise is, well… I’ll quote directly from Wikipedia: Music Machine is a series of children’s Christian musical albums [...]

So far 2010 is an amazing year to be a Atari 2600 collector (or horrible if you’re strapped for cash). Looks like that trend is going to continue, as just listed are Megaforce, Worm War I, Beany Bopper and Atlantis XANTE cartridges. If the name “Xante” means nothing for you, they are basically among the [...]

To celebrate their success of selling the PS2 console in extremely high amounts (In December 2001), Sony made 5 limited edition Playstation 2 consoles. Only 666 pieces were available of each color in each region (US – Europe – Japan) which were Super Red, Metallic Silver, Asutorasu Blue, Snow White and Light Yellow. These are [...]
