  1. Looking forward to getting the SuperSketch protectors: https://hoskinson-industries.myshopify.com/products/super-sketch-box-protector?_pos=4&_sid=3ec0b4d4a&_ss=r Is this one coming soon? Commodore 64 Frogger 2 Game Box Protector [156x33x231mm] Is it the regular Parker Brothers box like the ones for the Atari 8-bit Home Computer? I’m thought that someone said your Donkey Kong Protectors fit Atari Home Computer Qix? Atari 400/800 Qix Game Box Protector [196x25x268mm] https://hoskinson-industries.myshopify.com/collections/ti-99-4a/products/donkey-kong-box-protector I’m also looking for protectors for the Atari 400/800 large black game boxes. I will check if your C64 Adventure Creator box is the same size as the Atari 8-bit https://hoskinson-industries.myshopify.com/products/adventure-creator-box-protector?_pos=6&_sid=3ec0b4d4a&_ss=r
  2. I wish that I had something more to add to the project besides this simple observation: This was an awesome example of positive AA community interaction that makes me proud to be a member. Thanks to all of you.
  3. OK as long as the shipping is the same for 2 or 3 I'll get 3 standard to USA. If anyone does change their mind about the soundtrack version, please let me know. Thank you.
  4. Thank you for the quick reply. I was just asking if anyone had changed their mind on the soundtrack edition, that I would like one. How much is the shipping for 2 versus 3 of the standard edition?
  5. If anyone backs out I’d like one of the Soundtrack Edition: 53 USD + 7 USD for worldwide shipping. I’ll take two of the Standard Edition: 49 USD + 7 USD for worldwide shipping
  6. Star Raiders: Super Smash Bros protector. Excellent fit in two dimensions.... Do you have alink to the provider and the specific Super Smash Brothers protector?
  7. Dead link. Did anyone back up the information on it?
  8. Welcome! Thanks for passing on your memories. I've found that Atari 8-bits have been a good stress reliever through life's struggles and that AtariAge members have kept up supportive human contact through the years and COVID-19 lockdowns.
  9. It's so sad to hear that. Hopefully some of them may have survived. It was a nice collection of MSXs. I know someone who would have liked that Commodore SX-64 in their collection. Such a nice person to have shared his passion with the next generation. It is a loss but only a loss of things, the loss of life is more precious and more disheartening. I pray for their freedom and peace trough-out the world. We need to grow beyond physical conflict and learn to use our words and to understand even if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, it isn't ours to take.
  10. Too bad one hasn’t shown up yet. I’d make room for it in my collection if someone finds one.
  11. The white carts with black text silver labels are bootlegs. They came in black boxes labeled in gold text “FANTASTIC GAME”. A small silver label with black text had the same name as the cartridge. The boxes note the 2600 system not XL nor XE so the bootleggers probably made more Atari 2600 bootlegs.
  12. Thank you for joining. What you have pictured are Review and Engineering copies. Without examining the contents, it is difficult to say which are the release versions. The engineering copies were sent to the chip manufacturer that made the PROM integrated circuit chips for the cartridges so I would guess they may be final versions. As mentioned above there is no telling with the Atariwriter unless its contents are examined. Review copies were usually release versions, but sometime prototypes sent to magazine writers and other reviewers. If they got bad feedback they would redo the game and send out a newer version. If you have different dates the earlier ones would be prototypes.
  13. Did I read that there plans to do the case to original specs too?
  14. Check with your local libraries. Some Libraries will accept them for their reading areas, or they have book sales.
