Tempest Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Thanks for the screenshots. I wonder if an 8-bit version was planned? CBS did all the 8-bit Muppet games, so maybe not. Interesting how Atari themselves did this one, maybe they had the rights on game consoles (due to their 2600 license) and not on computers? It doesn't surprise me that it had no sound, sound was one of the last things to be added to a game generally. I hope you will dump this one or sell it to someone who will. As I said this is the only copy. Truly an amazing find. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickeycolumbus Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 My guess is around $500, then again, I have never seen a one of a kind 5200 cart auctioned. Best of luck with the auction procrastinator! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I told him somewhere between $400-$600. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I told him somewhere between $400-$600. Tempest Ya that sounds about right but I would not bat an eye if it went for more like $750 though. One of a kind and un-dumped = PROFIT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Ian and John will be high in the running, unless they have to conserve money right now. I can definitely see bentlybear as the winning bidder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnon Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Nice! Looks a lot like an old Elmo game for the Gameboy that we had back in the 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) Ya that sounds about right but I would not bat an eye if it went for more like $750 though. One of a kind and un-dumped = PROFIT! No sound, and required to play with the keypad of the 5200 controllers of all things, hard to think there's a big re-pro market on that! I just hope we don't wind up with another Good Luck, Charlie Brown, if you know what I mean. Bidding up to $355 already....should we call Yahoo.com??

djpubba Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Did you get it dumped? I'm in the SF Bay area too and can dump if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it did,the new owner will have to do that...or not.mmmwmwahahahhahha!!!!! wow...it's at 405 already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantai Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Damn! 400+ already and its not even towards the end!! I smell yet another WORLD RECORD! Games are looking real good lately. Can't wait to auction my ColecoVision protos lol I would guess around $1200-1500 for this proto, as it was previously rumored and now its avail.

One of a kind and un-dumped = PROFIT! eBay q&a: Q: Has this rom been dumped?May-02-10A: No the ROM has not been dumped. It will be up to the buyer to dump the ROM if they feel the Atari collecting communty should have a copy availible to everyone. Right now the ONLY known copy of this game resides in this tested-working loaner cartridge. Yeah expect big $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Yeah expect big $$ [/size][/font] Depends. 5200 prototypes aren't like 2600 prototypes, the market for them isn't as big. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monzamess Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I thought that looked familiar. The same concept resurfaced as the "Letter-Go-Round" option in "Sesame Street ABC" for the NES. http://www.mobygames.com/game/nes/sesame-street-a-b-c/screenshots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhwolfman Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Could it make it passed the 2k mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Could it make it passed the 2k mark. That seems a little ridiculous, but at the current rate of bidding $700-$800 might not be out of the question. I'm a little surprised actually, but then again it is a one of a kind. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we know the origin of the merry go round pretty cool to see how a game got its beginnings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Friedel Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Nice! Looks a lot like an old Elmo game for the Gameboy that we had back in the 90s. There is a game like this for the NES too. Sesame Street A B C is the name of the cart I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest I have a feeling who is going to win this, no not Wonder . The other Playa has not even, entered the Arena, Yet. I will go on the record and say at least double that.

I'm a little surprised actually, but then again it is a one of a kind. Tempest I was thinking the same thing Tempest, BUT look at something like Action Comics #1, All-American #16, and Detective Comics #27. Just a scant 10 years ago they were around $100,000 in NM (AA 16 around $35k), and now we see them all topping $1 mil. The same can be said of 1909 T206 Honus Wagner. That card was $17,500 in 1988, and just 15 years later it broke $1 mil. I don't know why people do that, but my guess is some wall street guys or celebrities get involved and all the rules go right out the window. Right now Video Games seem to be the next "high" for wall streeters and celebrities. Yep, they're getting involved lately with all the grading hoopla, and the records like Stadium Events, Air Raid, etc.. I could be wrong, but Muppets breaking $1,000 would not surprise me as being a reality. my 3 cents lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
