King Atari Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 I remember someone was selling them for $50, complete and just like the CGE copies, but that was awhile ago. Can I still get a copy, or did I miss out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snider-man Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Well, as I remember, Digital Press had some left over that they liquidated after CGE. However, that was waaaaaaaay back in September last year. Odds are, if you want a complete, in-the-box release, you're pretty much boned. However, Randy at Hozer could probably burn a cart for you. Then it's just a matter of slapping on your own label. I did it for my Swordfight cart, my Halloween cart, and my Texas Chainsaw Massacre carts. I will soon be doing the same for my Crazy Climber cart. Total: $50 rather than the $250 the originals would cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Atari Posted February 18, 2002 Author Share Posted February 18, 2002 Hey, wasn't Sean Kelley selling them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Hey King Atari, I just bought the game from the guy who was selling them for about $55.00. If you want I can give you his email address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted February 18, 2002 Author Share Posted February 18, 2002 Hey, that would be great! I don't really have $55 at the moment, but I'll save the address for when I do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Here you go King Atari: The email address is:skelly@xnet.com and his name and address is: Sean Kelly 5789 N. Milwaukee Chicago, IL 60646 He will take Paypal or Money order and the total amount was $54.00 with shipping included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted February 19, 2002 Author Share Posted February 19, 2002 Ah, thanks a lot. I soon as I got the extra spending cash, I will own 2600 Elevator Action! Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not buying something like that for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to own one, but in this case I would like to have one of the numbered ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Probably, I know they saved a few for later. They had a few left over because there were a couple of defective ones (I got one my first time). Sean probably fixed those instead of throwing them out (wouldn't you?).

Cassidy Nolen Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 You know, The CGE was so overwhelming, you do not know what to get. I was like third in line for a Combat 2, bought it out of "the insanity", and ended up trading it for a sealed Custers Revenge later that day. In retrospect, I should have kept them both, and then jumped in line for the Elevator Action and Ms. Space Fury. However, there were other goodies there, too. Its amazing how you lose sight of sanity in those places. Passed a sealed Coleco Roller Controller with Slither, because he would not come down 4 bucks, and I was out of room for a boxed Astrocade for 20.

Tempest Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 There was too much going on at once. If you wanted to get all the exclusive games you ended up waiting in line all day or if you wanted to hear the guest lecturers you never got to see the rest of the show. That's what I like about Philly. It's all paced nicely and it's more like a big swap meet than a "convention". More my style I guess...

Cassidy Nolen Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 I am really looking forward to formally meeting you guys from the group. I think we should figure a way to identify Atariage BB readers, and put our user names or something on them. Just a thought. Of course, we could all carry bologna sandwiches around (funny how one can bring the level of the group down.... ) Cassidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 I'll be wearing my Tempest 2084 badge that I had on at the CGE (it's hard to miss). I had people walking up to me and saying "Your that guy from the message boards...". I think it would be cool if everyone tried to design a custom name tag for themselves.

ATARIPITBULL Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Moonlightnight, these copies say on the lower left back of the box that they were distributed at the classic gaming expo 2001, but I do not see any special numbering, just the model number: 26126.

Cassidy Nolen Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 I will probably be wearing my Computer Space T-shirt I had made up for Vegas. Depending if its too cold, might wear the Atari hoodie sweatshirt. Of course, I will be the guy worried sick about pizza covered hands on my Star Wars cockpit. My only complaint last year was people were eating then playing Jeff's and my machines. I had 20 hours of time in a Galaga mini there, not to mention money, and it had pizza sauce on it. Strange. Cassidy Anyway, custom tags would be great. Good idea Tempest. Looking forward to meeting you and the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmeroid Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 In a similar vein, is anyone still selling copies of Combat 2? I'm not bothered about owning a numbered copy - just as long as it's boxed etc. I'd really appreciate any info on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard about anyone selling these as general releases, but you could probably get one from Hozer. At least it wouldn't hurt to ask. I just bought #40 of 250 this weekend, though. Can't wait until it get here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that we can only pack so many events/functions into a 2-day event. We have to go for as many keynote speeches as possible in order to keep the guests happy, because honestly how many of them would come out just to pal around with their fans? Some yes, but many feel that they have a purpose by giving a speech. We want to avoid last year's scenario of having people line up an hour early just to get the new releases so we're currently working on a plan where people won't have to waste time waiting on lines to buy the games. People shouldn't have to miss a keynote just to get a game they want. BTW, we'll be previewing all the CGE releases at Phillyclassic. 8 in all (if we can get the 3 7800 carts going in time).

The Elevator Action carts are all the same. There were never any numbered and/or general releases. What you buy today is the same as what you would have gotten at the show.
