It is the "sharpie" writing, the type of pc board, metal shielding over the chip, type of chip (rom, eprom, etc.), and other distinguishing characteristics that align it with all other known originals. All fakes do not look like this (at least all the fakes I have seen). BTW, when you forward pictures like this to all the yo-yos on ebay that claim to have originals, they always come up with some sort of an excuse why they can't show you the insides... Awesome to know myself, actually. I knew it had something to do with the sharpie, but aside from that everyone who said, "Yep, that's real," never really gave me a reason. Thanks! =)

Bump: Last two days. Someone started the bidding early this morning.

I know, the photos suck. There's not really much I could do about that. I don't own a camera, and I doubt my webcam would take any pictures that could be considered better. I can see if there's a neighbor with a camera, perhaps. I'll see what I can do. EDIT: Okay, well, I was able to borrow a friend's camera phone. It wasn't the best, but I got a better picture of the "K32 05" thing. Also, the back of the chip. They're up on the auction page now.

Actually, I've gone so far as to list it on ebay. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 280710770195 Should I make another thread in the "Auctions" or will it be fine here? I don't want to spam up the place.

Yeah, I did all the research when I got it and that's why I've kept it for almost five years. However, I pull it out maybe three times a year (max) to show someone "Look at this thing I have!" but it's just not enough for me anymore. I want to pass it on to someone who will appreciate it as much as I once did, and, well, put a little money in my pocket.

Well, here's my story: About five years ago or so I was at a yard sale and found a huge box of Atari 2600 systems, games, controllers, accessories and the like for a price that I simply could not pass up. After many nights of cleaning, testing, organizing, selling, and packaging the games as I saw fit, I came across one that was lacking a label, but had once had a piece of tape across the front with "Pepsi Invaders" scrawled on it. I was new to Atari collecting at that point, and I had not heard of the game. I put it into my testing system, and began playing what I had considered to be a worthless Space Invaders rip-off. After presenting the story to the fellows at Cheap Ass Gamer, I learned that it was a fairly rare game. Not the rarest, but it's worth a heck of a lot more than E.T. So, they pressed me for information and pictures. The pictures attached to this post are the ones I took then. They're terrible quality as they were taken with my cell phone at the time (mind you, five years ago). A number of people confirmed that the chip looks like, and is numbered like, other copies of Pepsi Invaders that have surfaced over the years. Now, I come to you, Atari Age members, for further verification. I have it in my head to sell the game and buy something that I will use more frequently than this, an upgraded metal detector, perhaps, and I want to make sure of its legitimacy. The CAG members referred me here five years ago, and here I am today, asking for your help. Is it real? And if so, where should I sell it and how should I go about selling it? Thank you for any help you may be able to offer, C.T. Mills EDIT: Since I did put it on ebay, I figured the link would be best positioned at the top of the thread. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&icep_item=280710770195&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg
