PackratVG Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 The winner of this contest will receive a $30.00 gift certificate to Packrat Video Games, www.packratvg.com. All you have to do is descramble all of the words below, find the answer to the question, and post your answers (descrambled words and answer) on this message board. Each scrambled word is an Atari 2600 game. Leaving the blue line in its original place, the letter of the unscrambled word above each blue line forms a part of the question. The letters for the question are in descending order. Have fun and good luck everyone!

Cap5750 Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Well it seems as though stan beat be to it..but... 1. Night Driver - D 2. Stellar Track - R 3. Gunslinger - U 4. International Soccer - I 5. Enduro - D 1. Hangman - H 2. Tutankham - A 3. Blackjack - L 4. Warlords - L 5. Ghostbusters - O 6. Towering Inferno - W 7. Venture - E 8. Adventure - E 9. Kangaroo - N So the question becomes: Druid Halloween? Well you could want the fact that it is often referred to as Summer's End ("Samhain"). Or, you could want to know the fact that it is generally "celebrated" on October 31st. Or that many Christians believe you shouldn't celebrate Halloween because you are essentially workshipping the devil. Cap Note: Technically Stan is incorrect because he lists one of the games as Black Jack instead of Blackjack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap5750 Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Congrats Stan, What I was talking about is this: When you listed the results of the scrambled word: CCJBKAALK You put: Black Jack But there's no way that could be because there is no space in the word!

Raijin Z Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 "Ghetto" "humor" created by a white suburbanite who wouldn't have been funny in 1992, much less 2002. WHAT DO I WIN?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerG Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 PackRat -- I like your site. The idea of scanning the games is awesome. I like really great labels and the problem with so many Internet stores, trades, and any bulk Ebay buy is that you never really know what you are getting label-wise. I'm sure it is a pain, but it is worth it for the consumer and a real incentive to buy (do you think you will do it for the Colecovision games?). Take care, RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackratVG Posted November 9, 2002 Author Share Posted November 9, 2002 RangerG, We plan to scan all of our games, it's only a matter of finding the time. You're right, it does take quite a bit of effort, but it's worth it. For now, if anyone would like to see the scan of a game, please drop our customer service a line and we'll scan it for you. Thanks StanJr for the praise. We truly strive to serve the classic gaming community to the best of our ability. Sincerely, Jarett Waite Owner Packrat Video Games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
