maximebeauvais Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 yeah, I saw this one too. This is a X-File or a very big hoax from the buyer with a 0 feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 No Hoax if you see this tread: Topic: Bob Polaro selling Atari 2600 Protos on eBay? and this: Topic: Bugs Bunny Prototype Fake Lable and others But what you say about this Prototype on ebay: @@Atari 2600 MEGAMANIA PROTOTYPE Loaner@@ A Activision Megamania Prototype in a Pitfall Activision Prototype Case.

Joel D. Park Posted February 27, 2002 Author Share Posted February 27, 2002 The more I look at it the more odd it gets, It's not actually even a loaner cartridge, it's just a funny black label with atari on it. The tennis label it pleanty dirty to match it's age. Maybe the atari guys snagged a copy of activision tennis for their own "Market Research" or something. eh?

MattyXB Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 In the web I have found many oddities. Some examples: Chopper Command (Activision) in a Lab Loaner Atari case, stand nothing on the white Lable. And the Label was on the Buttom ober the Return info. Demon Attack (Imagic) in a Lab Loaner Atari Case. Looks totally real and stand Demon Attack EPROM Cartridge on the White Lable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahfish Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 i just realised i'm highest bidder on it ... hehe but it has a reserve price that i surely will not meet .... i am happy with one prototype from each company .... and i allready have a sega, atari and data age proto ... anybody got something else for me?

MattyXB Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 But this tennis is maybe no real Activision Prototype. Activision Prototypes look like this Megamania (or Pitfall ?). Red Lable and small sticker with the gamename. Or PAL Activision with white big text Activision Prototype. I have 2 Atari Loaner (1 PAL, 1 NTSC), 1 Atari Board PAL, 1 Activision (soon 2, 1 PAL, 1 NTSC), 1 Best Electronic PAL. 1 Hozer Copy NTSC and 1 Goliath PAL ?.

Joel D. Park Posted February 27, 2002 Author Share Posted February 27, 2002 Fish, I have a Star Strike prototype from Mattel. http://www.atari2600.net/aspDisplayPicture...lStarStrike.jpg I'm sure you can dig up some more PAL carts for me :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvigor Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Joel- So do you keep it in your personal possession at all times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san-d-2000 Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Joel, does that m-network card have an eprom inside (does it feel heavy), or is it just a pre-release? -San. [ 02-27-2002: Message edited by: san-d-2000 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone had a bunch of those cart cases that were either liberated from Atari (or Atari dumped them?), who knows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
