The hero Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 If I remember correctly, in order to obtain a patch, you were supposed to send a picture of yourself standing next to your high score on the TV to Activision and they would send you the patch. Does anybody still have the pictures they took next to their high scores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 Nope, but Activision still owes me a Cliffhangers patch for Pitfall II. I've called them about it, they keep hanging up on me... Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 Now that you mention it, they owe me a Cliffhangers patch too! If you get them to ante up, let me know! (I did get my Frostbite patch, however. Activision weasels!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klove Posted September 5, 2001 Share Posted September 5, 2001 Yeah... "Me Too!" I'm still waiting for my Ghostbusters II patch! "Damn!" What's taking so friggin' long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never sent them a photo of me next to the TV. I only sent them photos of the high score on the screen, and they always sent me the patches.

+Cafeman Posted September 6, 2001 Share Posted September 6, 2001 I sent them very indiscernable and nearly incomprehensible, light-saturated (darn flashes!) pix .. always got my patch. Megamania ... Enduro .. Pitfall! [ 09-06-2001: Message edited by: Cafeman ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhindle The Red Posted September 6, 2001 Share Posted September 6, 2001 In one marathon session back in the day, I maxed out Megamania. (My parents were understanding folks.) Well, the picture I took ended up being quite bad, but the numbers were clear. They sent me a patch (and a Stampede belt buckle) but said the picture wasn't good enough for a mention in Activisions.

AtariDude Posted September 7, 2001 Share Posted September 7, 2001 I found a site that seems to have some of the patches that you mentioned. Here is the link: http://www.techtite.com/Features/Spec_pch.html I hope that is what you were looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
