'Woody' Atari 2600 & Games

The Atari 2600, the console that essentially kickstarted modern video gaming, remains the biggest step in the history of digital gaming, but also a platform on which several classic games were spawned and can still be enjoyed. Incidentally there's a lovely Atari 2600 collection you might be interested in being auctioned off at eBay.

The highest bidder will be getting a fully working console, 2 joysticks, a set of paddles, the power supply and 23 games (some of them boxed). The games include Yars' Revenge, Space Invaders, Demon Attack, Grand Prix, Defender, Atlantis (!), Mario Bros., Kaboom! and Centipede.

Nintendo Pinball Game & Watch

Released in 1983 Nintendo's Pinball Game & Watch is one of the first handheld pinball games I was ever aware of and a lovely little thing you can grab via this Pinball (Game & Watch) eBay auction. It comes complete in its box and seems to be in great condition.

Atari XE Video Game System

Based on the Atari 8-bit computers range, the Atari XE Video Game System (Atari XEGS) was released in 1987 and tried to merge micros and consoles under a cute, pal coloured hood. Despite being pleasing to the eye, decently priced, interesting and backwards compatible it never set the world on fire.

Still, owning one is definitely worth the effort and price and any interested parties should have a look at this Atari XEGS eBay auction. The fully working console comes complete with keyboard, lightgun and four games: One-On-One Basketball, Fight Night, Bug Hunt and Flight Simulator II. Seller ships worldwide.

Zak McKracken (Atari ST)

If you are into tabloids, aliens, odd humour, tough puzzles, Groucho Marx disguises and classic point-and-click adventures by LucasFilm, then this Zak Mc Kracken And The Alien Mindbenders (Atari ST) eBay auction is definitely for you. It'll let you get the complete boxed and sealed version of the David Fox game for the Atari ST, which, apparantly, is quite the rarity.

Commodore Amiga 1000

The original, beautiful, collectible and usually very expensive Amiga 1000 can apparently be grabbed for acceptable amounts of money, provided this Amiga 1000 eBay auction doesn't suddenly attract mad and rich bidders. The computer on offer is fully working and tested and despite some yellowing still looks lovely.

The computer comes with keyboard, system disks and power-cord (no, the monitor's not included). Seller ships worldwide.

Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss (DOS)

I haven't played Ultima Underwold I since 1998 (I believe), but I can still vividly remember its awe-inspiring architecture and amazing mechanics. Its atmosphere and engrossing gameplay also, but I digress. What you need to know is that said classic, innovative 3D RPG can be grabbed in its box via this Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss (DOS) eBay auction.

The game comes in its box with four 3.5" disks, manual, background booklet, install guide, reference card, map, registration card, catalog and a couple of leaflets. Seller ships worldwide. 

Sinclair QL & Printer

Sinclair's 16-bit business computer, the wonderful if ill thought out Sinclair QL, remains an important micro and a retro computer worth having. Despite being aimed at the professional/serious home user and coming with a variety of business software, the QL also got itself its fair share of gaming software and even some handy peripherals, you see.

As one would expect from a Retro Treasures post, well, here's a pretty excellent Sinqlair QL auction on eBay. The computer comes complete in its box with manuals, power adapter and software (QL Abacus, Archive, Easel and Quill) on microdrive cartridges. It is also accompanied by the equally boxed, dot-matrix Sinclair Printer.

Boxed PC Engine Set

The PC Engine by NEC is a lovable console sporting some impressive arcade conversions, while its CD expansion was quite frankly ground-breaking.

Pikachu N64 Set

I was too old to truly appreciate Pokemon when it was first released, but I can definitely see the allure now. I even find the Pikachu N64 a wonderfully cute console and a collectible worth owning and that's why I couldn't help but suggest you have a look at this Pikachu Nintendo 64 Set auction at eBay.

It's a boxed and sealed NTSC version of the multi-coloured console. The N64's box is in great condition and comes with voice recognition unit, microphone, controller, Pokemon watch, Hey You, Pikachu cartridge and all sort of other essential stuff to get things working.

They Sold A Million (CPC)

Used to love 8-bit game compilations and, admittedly, They Sold A Million was one of the very best ones. Sporting best-sellers Sabre Wulf, Daley Thomson's Decathlon, Beach-Head and Jet Set Willy was both a marketing masterstroke and an offer of incredible value for money. It still is actually, as this They Sold A Million (CPC) eBay auction for the Amstrad CPC will most probably only sell for a few pounds -- in a few hours too, so better hurry.

Maniac Mansion (C64)

The original point-and-click adventure on its original, ground-breaking version. Yes, it is indeed Maniac Mansion for the Commodore 64 that has appeared on eBay and it's as collectible as a sealed, boxed copy of Ron Gilbert's and LucasFilm's genre defining game can be: very. It's also extremely rare and with two more days of bidding ahead it's bound to be very expensive too.

Maniac Mansion comes complete in its sealed box for those C64/C128s that come equipped with 5.25" disk drives. Seller ships worldwide.

Neo Geo Pocket Color

The truly affordable and mightily portable Neo Geo Pocket Color handheld console was released in 1999 as a successor to the monochrome Neo Geo Pocket of 1998. Both machines were fully compatible with each other, sported some impressive hardware and more than a handful of excellent games. 

Speaking of SNK handhelds, you might want to have a look at this Neo Geo Pocket Color eBay auction. The console comes with CardFighter's Clash, Samurai Showdown 2 and King of Fighters R2. Seller ships to most places worldwide.

Beyond Zork (MS-DOS)

A complete, boxed version of Infocom's Beyond Zork for MS-DOS has appeared on eBay and is looking as enticing as ever.

As an added bonus the seller has thrown in a copy of the game on CD and a photocopied article about Beyond Zork from the New York Times dated December 22, 1987.

Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (SNES)

I distinctly remember not playing any of the Super Star Wars games when they were originally launched. I was convinced an arcade adventuring platformer with Star Wars plastered all over it would never work. I was, most emphatically, wrong and that's why you should probably ignore me and head straight to the Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (SNES) eBay auction to grab the thing.

The Empire Strikes Back comes on its cartridge with box and manual. Seller ships to the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and Malaysia.

CP/M on the go: The Philips P2000C

Running CP/M applications on the go must have sounded almost magical back in the days of the Philips P2000C and, to be perfectly honest, certainly holds a certain charm today -- provided you are not using emulators that is. Actually, you could grab a fully working Phillips P2000C off of the Classic Computer Shop, complete with two disk drives, 640k of RAM, all sorts of disks, the power cable, the floppy drive head protectors and see what the fuss was all about.
