LidLikesIntellivision Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Who is opening it? How else will I play it? We need a new homebrew hardware project that works wireless and a new circuit for cartridges to play games with sealed boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergun Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Who is opening it? That's why I went for a loose one as well. From the looks of the picture, seems like we were part of a very small club. Most went for sealed. But even if it had not been an option, and I would have been stuck ordering a sealed one, I would be ripping it open the minute it got in my hands anyway and tossing the box and manual in the trash! Guys, loose cart collecting is liberating! (no offense to box collectors as I admit they do look really nice on shelves) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Got my cartridge today, Thanks! Unfortunately the game rolls on my tv, I'm assuming due to a strange scan line count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Got mine today! It is still sealed but I will be opening it to play. I hope I don't run into the rolling problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 truly a thing of beauty. sealed. and i carefully slit the plastic leaving it intact otherwise, but did open it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergun Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I received mine yesterday as well. The cart label is really nice. I was able to play it this morning. I was concerned with the comment made about a "rolling screen". No rolling screen on mine. Definitely a very early prototype. Not very much to do at all in the game, and no sound. But, nevertheless, absolutely amazing that it was ever found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtshark7 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 So I noticed mixed feelings about ppl opening their boxed game and ppl that leave it sealed. Which do you mostly prefer? Is it worth it in the end to leave it sealed? I think I got mine yesterday, will find out when I stop by my parents house after work....still debating if I should open it or not, lol.

Gateway Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Got mine in the mail on Friday! Didn't get to open the package until today. Awesome work all around, though I haven't tried out the game yet. My Atari is still packed away. I intend to open my sealed box and try it out when the time comes. Games were meant to be played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H1HummerAlpha Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Got mine yesterday. What perfect timing. Got back from our trip overseas. Beautiful box artwork. Will open ours very soon. Hmm maybe i should have bought 2. Keep one sealed and one to open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtshark7 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I think we should take a poll between ppl who opened their game and ppl who are keeping it sealed I kept mine sealed (so far) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Is this version (as is release) exactly as we see here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn8jHZmtVlU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phattyboombatty Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I opened mine, and it appears that yes, this is the same version. Just as described at atariprotos: no audio and game freezes after kite collision with flying object. Seriously people, it's shrinkwrap. Use a razorblade and some medical gloves if you're that concerned. I understand collector value, and how these get viewed/priced, but for god's sake enjoy the game, or at least the joy of opening it! There's always going to be those few people who leave an NIB for collector value, but this whole topic is enough to drive ya crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor blade=CIB no Razor Blade=NIB I collect Atari games and up-collect till I have them NIB, why would I open a game with very little play value and freezes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
