4ever2600 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 You mean you are not even curious to see what the greatest 2600 prototype collection in ATARI history just sold for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I'm not sure it was the greatest ever. Look what Matt still has left.

Tempest Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 I'll leave it up to the buyer to decide if he wants to tell how much he spent. What you don't see in those photos are the prototypes that are EPROM board only. There's at least another board full of prototypes that I didn't put up due to lack of room.

Crazy Climber Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I really wanted to take a crack at A Team and DD Speedboat but I'm kind of on a buying freeze right now from expensive stuff, I blew too much on Coin-op's......bad timing. Oh Well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Well Cassidy has an A-Team proto (he had it on display at the show), but I don't know what it would take for him to part with it. It's also an earlier version than mine was.

Tempest Thanks for the tip, I passed on one in a loaner cart on 2600.com a few years back for like $120 and I've been kicking myself ever since. Even if it probably was a real early version....damn. I guess proto's didn't interest me at the time, what was I thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess proto's didn't interest me at the time, what was I thinking Wow, that would have been a good deal. I think I paid $300 for mine about 3 or 4 years back. Then again, it was a different version. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Wonder007 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Wow, Tempest has more Atari 2600 protos after the sale. That's cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ever2600 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Now I'm really confused... I thought that the list at the beginning of this thread was ALL the 2600 protos that Tempest owned? Did I make that up in my own head or was Tempest only getting rid of 2600 protos he wanted to sell to make room for 'concentrating on 5200 protos"? Just curious...

+Wonder007 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 You know what, I see now, some of the carts in the pics are Atari 5200 games, they look like the Atari 2600 protos (they used the same labels) but they are not. Look closely as the Atari 5200 carts are sideways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I WONDER if he would have spent as much on the Klax prototype as I would have if I'd seen this post sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant was that in those pictures you only see the protos with cases on the boards, and that I didn't put out my EPROM board only protos due to lack of room. I have no more 2600 protos (other than the infamous Meltdown proto that is). Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look closely as the Atari 5200 carts are sideways. All the protos on the right board are 5200, and most of the protos on the left board are 2600 with a few 8-bit, 7800, Vic-20, and 5200 protos thrown in.

EricDeLee Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 That Sinistar would have been a cool one. Along with the Snoopy. Oh well! I know they are going to a good home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
