+Psionic Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 This certainly increases the value. I'd say so, but why all this talk about "value" and prices? The owner (as yet) hasn't expressed any interest in selling. Still wondering about the Telesys - Wizard link... Why? There isn't any link. They probably just used whatever random case the prototype board would fit inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Franzman Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Clarkus, whereabouts in L.A. are you? I'm about 25 miles east of downtown, in La Puente (near West Covina). Mitch's Map location looks like it's in Westminster (Orange County), and Wonder007 gives his location as Alhambra -- about half as far from downtown as me, a bit north of due east.

The owner (as yet) hasn't expressed any interest in selling. But he HAS expressed interest in gathering info about his carts and all I'm saying is that a WIP status increases the value. Still wondering about the Telesys - Wizard link... Why? There isn't any link. They probably just used whatever random case the prototype board would fit inside. Must be something like that, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be something like that, I suppose. Yeah, right now I'm really just looking to find out as much as I can about the games. This is a really fun little adventure down memory lane. I'm open to the thought of selling them down the road, who knows at this point. I was talking to my Dad about what he remembers, and he told me occasionally people from these smaller companies (like the makers of Halloween) would swing by their office and would go on sales calls with my Dad. They'd bring demos with them to show the potential buyers. My thought is that maybe they threw these versions together just to have something to take on the road and demo. Thanks again everyone for helping me piece together info about these games! Clark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 You could come to the SC3 meet in early March and show them off. There will likely be a decent amount of AtariAge members there. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkus Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 I'm sorry I couldn't make it out to S3. It looks like I am going to be parting ways with these games soon - I think I'm going to simply post them on ebay one at a time. I'll post links when they are up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd all like to see your rare finds become part of this community, and Wonder007 is one of our "pillars". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkus Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 I hear you, these games actually have a lot of sentimental value, which is why I haven't entertained selling them for all these years. And I'm not 100% sure I can follow through now. That said, there are the hard practicalities of life and money is one of them... I'd like these games to end up in a good home and pay the bills too...
