Postman brought a parcel with a very nice set of 37 games for the Atari 2600 in it - 26x Atari, 8x Activision, 2x Imagic, 1x Parker.
They are from a seller in Vienna, the games belonged to his (rich!?) father. And his father really took care of his games. All are complete in box, in mint or almost mint condition. No re-releases (1987/88 etc.), all are from 1980 - 1983. The only minor fault is that some of the boxes show a bit of color fading on one of the narrow sides, probably due to solar radiation over many years.
Three of the Atari games have a sticker on the back of the box, announcing that the Atari club is now also present in Austria.
All of the Activision games have the Ariola/Hörzu stickers on the boxes.
All games are PAL releases.
I already had many of those games, but not in good condition, so these 37 games are a nice addition and improvement to my collection. They were not really cheap, I think I paid a fair price for them, as they are in good condition.
Das taugt mir!
Aber mit wenig Ei bitte …
Great to hear from you too Norman. I'll try to be more productive here over the next months, should have a little more spare time over the winter. Will also translate a few more pages from the old website, that are still in German, into English for the new website.
What's new on your side?
Next year's Eurocon will be in Hamburg, organized by Stephan Freundorfer. Will there be a chance you'll be attending?? ![]()

Just some news so far, Dieter!
Acquired a complete Frogger II game for the Colecovision. Programmer Ray Kaestner sent me two signed Intellivision Burgertime games. Utopia will hopefully arrive soon with a nice autograph of Don Daglow.
Still looking for a complete Learning Fun I copy to close my last gap in the Intellivision collection.
I got this newsletter from the Computerspielemuseum Berlin:
"Liebe Freunde des Hauses,
die Entscheidung ist gefallen: Die neue
Dauerausstellung des Computerspielmuseums öffnet am 21. Januar 2011 für
die Besucher. Dann lädt die Ausstellung zu einer historischen Reise
zum spielenden Menschen im 21. Jahrhundert ein – zum Homo Ludens
Digitalis. Standort der Ausstellung ist das ehemalige »Café Warschau« im
Berliner Szenebezirk Friedrichshain (Karl-Marx-Allee 93a), gut
erreichbar für Berliner und Touristen. Unmittelbar am Eingang der
künftigen Ausstellung befindet sich die U-Bahn Station Weberwiese (U 5,
drei Stationen von Alexanderplatz), vom Ostbahnhof (S-Bahn- und
Fernverkehr) sind es 10 Minuten Fußweg. Das 1999 aufwendig sanierte
Gebäude, in dem die Ausstellung zurzeit eingerichtet wird, steht unter
Denkmalschutz. Rund 670 qm Ausstellungs- und Servicefläche stehen zur
Verfügung. Eine Gaming Lounge (40 qm) für temporäre Präsentationen (u.a.
für Sponsoren) und ein Vortragsraum (58 qm) gehören zur Fläche.
Informationen
rund um die Ausstellung finden sich ab November 2010 auf der neu
gestalteten Website des Museums und auf Facebook. Die Gestaltung und
Umsetzung der Dauerausstellung wird durch die Schiel Projektgesellschaft
mbH realisiert (http://www.schiel-projekt.de

Gruß an Dieter und alle Retro-Fans!
Frogger II for Colecovision is great Norman, especially complete. I am still missing that one. Was it a trade or did you spend a fortune on it? ![]()
Your signed Intellivision games are great. Very impressive collection. I presume, you send the games from your collection to the authors and they send them signed back?
I will for sure visit the Computerspielemuseum if I should go to Berlin some day. Have never been there, but we are making one or two city trips each year, and Berlin will be one of them within the next few years. I'll contact you as soon as I know when I'll go to Berlin, so maybe we can visit the museum together.
At the moment I am collecting for Atari XL/XE, Atari 5200, Coleco and Intellivision.
I only need 8 games for the Atari 5200 for a complete collection - of course those are the most expensive ones ![]()
Btw: Do you have a lot of spare Intellivison games for sale/trade?
Das taugt mir!
Aber mit wenig Ei bitte …
Frogger II came cheaper than I expected (under 100€).
Most autographs are on my games I sent to the programmers. Some are just small signed stickers they sent me.
Sorry,Dieter - no spare Intellivision games so far. All are different variants that I am collecting.
Hope to meet you somewhere soon.
Norman
