I got some pretty interesting 2600 games today, and a few other less interesting things as well.
Atari 2600
--
Cookie Monster Munch - $3, cart only. This is one of the Sesame Street games that requires the Kids Controller, which was only used for those games. Unfortunately unlike the other two games in this line that I have this one didn't come with its overlay, but I'm sure I can look up an image of it online to know which buttons it uses.
Congo Bongo - $9, cart only. This is one of Sega's 2600 games, so it's got one of those great Sega 2600 cases with the embossed SEGA on the back. This cart's in near-perfect condition too; it looks spotless! The game's alright, an isometric take on Donkey Kong for the most part. It's not one of my favorite early Sega games but it's okay.
Starmaster - $2, cart and manual. Starmaster is a first-person space shooting game from Activision. Most games like this on early consoles are not great, but this is supposed to be one of the better ones. I'll see if I agree, I guess.
Spy Hunter - $20, cart only. The 2600 version of SpyHunter looks surprisingly solid in terms of gameplay, and it's kind of uncommon as well; this is a good price for it. I like Spy Hunter and the port is good, so I had to get this eventually.
Frogger II: Threeedeep - $15, cart only. This Frogger II is a three-screen game which plays like classic Frogger, but, well, with several different screens to work through. It's a good game and is uncommon; I don't think I've seen a copy before since I got a 2600. Great find here, and the price is pretty good as well.
Nintendo 64 - Getting some more stuff for the N64 collection...

Army Men Sarge's Heroes 2 - $12, cart only
NHL 99 - $3, cart only
Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue - $6, cart only
Also I got another Performance N64 controller pak for $7.
