Well, I probably wouldn't have any Atari VCS (that's still how I think of it) games if not for my wife. Although she's not into classic gaming at all :-( her parents still had their old Sears Tele-Games system in the basement. :-) For the interested, it's a 6-switch version. So, a few years ago, I liberated from its lonely, spider-infested existence. They didn't have many games, but they were almost all boxed and complete, and in beautiful shape - a rarity for Atari games.

This is just my Atari VCS page. It is not anything like the Intellivision part of INTV Funhouse. It's just my Atari stuff. Really.

Even though I was an Intellivision bigot in my youth (well, I guess I still am :-), I did play a lot of Atari back in the dark times, before Intellivision. My cousin, as well as one of my best friends, both had the Atari VCS (as it was known back then), and we spent many late nights playing games. And, after all, if it weren't for the success of the VCS, there would have been no Intellivision.

So, what I'm showing here is my extremely small Atari VCS collection. I mainly have games that I liked to play, or ones that are impossible not to have. I absolutely refuse, and cannot afford to get into, seriously collect Atari. There is simply too much stuff.

So I lied. (Just a little.)

I would like to have all the M-Network games by Mattel, all the Imagic games, and many of the Activision titles. Activision released quite a few, some quite rare, so I'm more flexible on those. My cousin had virtually everything at one point (it seemed), but I haven't hit him up for stuff yet. He also had a pretty complete Colecovision collection (with the Atari adapter, Turbo expansion, and Adam). Probably long gone...

Of course, there's also the System Changer for the Intellivision, which is another reason to get Atari games (albeit a weak one). Of course, there were actually quite a few extremely fun-to-play games for the Atari, too.

So, without further ado, here are the links to my small Atari collection. I'm not going to bother with rarity, etc. as nothing I have is really worth much - as far as I know. Since most of my stuff is complete, I therefore would like future additions to be complete games, too.
