What a BOX. That was a fun afternoon!

Good stuff😀

What an amazing haul! The condition of everything is amazing. I love buying from original owners and learning about the owner's history with these machines. I love MicroLeague BB -- played that a ton on my A8. I need to add Summer Games to my collection. Those Avalon Hill big boxes are cool. I love collecting the older big box SSI wargames. I remember perusing the SSI catalog and dreaming about playing them. Pooyan! Another game I'm looking to add. Congrats!

I still have the tapes for a couple of those avalon hill games. Both are space strategy style games. Conquest is 1 but forgot the name of the other. I should dig them out this weekend & give them another go again.

Nice video. I picked up an Atari 400 myself just recently. Just the system by itself but the system was extremely dirty had no power adapter and the door was broken off. I made some hinges out of a DVD case and then completely dismantled the computer and cleaned it top to bottom using baking soda. So much dirt came off the system changed to a lighter colour, even showed pictures to the person I bought it from and they were shocked at the difference. Used a good power brick from 1050 disk drive and the system works great, just need to order a new brick for it. It's a display piece now though I will power it on for some cartridge play to ensure it still works. My main Atari is an XEGS right now though I would love to get an 800XL or 130 XE as I doubt I have the soldering skills to add more RAM to my GS. Thanks for showing the unboxing of that copy of Crush, Crumble and Chomp. I own a copy but it's still sealed so it's nice to see what the contents are like.

The contents of "Crush Crumble And Chomp" are nuts right?

The power supply for that computer shouldn't be a problem as it's 9V AC (same for the 800 & 1200XL) so it won't have the same regulators that fail like the XL & XE power supplies do.

@@IntoTheVerticalBlank forgot to mention earlier but current draw also matters. I saw a site recently that listed which power supplies for various atari systems drew how much current. Forgot the url but a search engine can find it.
