Got two parcels from the US today, both customs-free Bier

A set of four not too common INTV games, all complete in box.

And a set of five Parker games for the Atari 8 bit, all complete in box.

Unfortunately all the boxes are not in top condition, but I knew that. Have to get better boxes some day.

Especially the Chess game for the Atari is pretty rare. It contains a booklet with 72 pages that explains the basic rules of Chess, as well as some basic tactics.

My Intellivision countdown goes down to 26 for a complete collection now …

Great acquisitions, Dieter!

These are really quite rare Intellivision games - especially the Burgertime sequel. Tower of Doom - wow, great adventure game. Actually planned as official AD&D game number 3.

The Atari computer games have cool looking artworks - really nice ones.

Congratulations, Dieter!

Thanks Norman!

Well yeah, I am getting to the rarer games now = I have to spend quite some money frown

This year I will set up a games room in my parent's house (no space here in the appartment). I have my games stored in boxes in the basement for years now, so I am looking forward to PLAY them finally smile

I think there are some very nice games especially for the Intellivision.

And why did they drop the AD&D idea for that game?

I am fairly happy with 2 recent Ebay lots.

Latest one was item 260531648840, a boxed Colecovision in excellent condition, 3 expansion modules, 70+ plus games (some very good titles, some boxed). I paid nothing for shipping and the gentleman delivered it to me at no charge. He threw in a few more games he found after he posted the listing.

Another lot turned out to be interesting, the description was somewhat incorrect, this one was item

290381872852  Four of those games turned out to be Leonardo, 1 was Leisurevision, and the Astro Invader was Advision. So instead of getting a couple of duplicates I thought I had, I now have some with the same title but from different console versions.

Very cool!!

I am just looking for a lot of Coleco games (mostly European versions) to go on with my collection. Do you have a list of your spares?

Indeed, but that's him Sad

Reinhard has it easy, collects only US releases, those are much easier to find than the PAL releases, so you can always easily wait for the next one if the box isn't in perfect shape Neener

I know that you have meant Dieter´s boxes, but "pretty bad shape" sounds much better to me than "s&$§" !LOL

Well, Dieter is sensitive from time to time so I chose a slightly less precise statement Smile

The 8 Bit boxes look nice though.

I'll take a better photo in the next days, there is more stuff on the way smile

Received another parcel yesterday, with 7 boxed Atari 2600 games. Already had most of them but wanted to improve the quality. In the second picture there is also the 5200 Astro Chase we were talking about.

P.S.: Does anyone know why Casino has the "Special Edition" on it?

P.P.S.: All pictured games are PAL.
