A matching pair is the two game cards in the deck that are identical.Cards included in the STARTER SET: The Legacy Edition are The first releases for the Atari 2600 from Atari, Activision and Imagic.Air-Sea BattleBasic MathBlackjackCombatIndy 500StarshipVideo OlympicsSurroundStreet RacerDragsterFishing DerbyCheckersBoxingDemon Attack Star Voyager Trickshot (*) This is a prototype edition to determine if there is enough interest in the cards to produce them. This prototype card set is 32 cards (16 pairs) and the deck is shrink wrapped. The price for this set is $10 plus shipping. If there is enough interest to move forward the final version will come shrink wrapped in a custom box with game graphics.

As a prototype owner each person who orders a set can choose anything ATARI related and will get an extra pair of cards with their image. Also everyone who orders this set will get $5 off any future set. All suggestions are welcome. This is a prototype set and things can be changed for a final release version.

imstarryeyed Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Great idea, I love the idea of a card set that is also a game. How about adding some trivia on them. Since the original artwork on the Atari made games is so classic and dramatic would it be possible to get those card first and then later games as a booster or a different set? I would love to have a poster with just the original artwork side by side with our without the words. I guess maybe another set that has the picture and screenshot on one side and trivia on the other? Just a suggestion. Count me in on any card games you create however.

apemaster Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Sounds interesting. But you need to rename the game. "Memory" is an internationally registered trademark of Ravensburger. For safety reasons, it's best to avoid that name, especially when making this type of game. If you want, I can produce it in a decent card size for you in small quantities. 63 x 45 mm is quite small for cards. I'll send you a quote as PM.

apemaster Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Obviously it means an image of a game you choose. Not your image, haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neotokeo2001 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 what do you mean by "their image"? Everyone who orders this set will get an extra pair of match cards that can be any image that they would like. It can be another game box, a picture of their car, an apple. Anything that you want as a bonus pair of cards is fine. I don't make the cards so keep it clean or it will probably get rejected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neotokeo2001 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 I will probably send in an order for the printer on Friday (03-20). Anyone who orders after that will have to wait longer. I will offer the cards through next week and that will be it for now with future releases on the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy_Whelan Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Cool, I will be getting a set of these as well! Why many of you might ask? Those of us that grew up with the Atari when it was first release need all of the help with our memories that we can get! LOL Troy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Seems like the perfect gift for those with little children today! IF you can't get them into the 2600 by gum… here's a set of flashcards. Would suck to get all caught up in the investment of these though, only to find out the project has been cancelled due to some copyright infringement/C&D order BS. I can see the change now... instead of the cool original Atari box art, you'll receive Zellers equivalents. And you'll like it! I jest, I jest! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neotokeo2001 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) I am sending the extra cards to the printer tomorrow evening so if you want them quicker order by then or you will have to wait for the last set next week. The Match cards will be available until next Friday 02-27-2015 and then they will no longer be offered in this version. Once the cards are in the hands of those who ordered I will take suggestions on what can be changed, added or improved for the normal boxed release of the card set. Remember, everyone who orders this $10 prototype set gets $5 off of the boxed version when it is available. The customer chosen extra pair of match cards will no longer be available after this offer ends.
