Awful lot of people on this thread who have never played Mangia. Every time the cat appears in the window it's like a high pitched alarm going off

Slaton TX? Just outside of Lubbock. Always joked I'd move there and run for mayor one day since my last name is Slaton, haha.

Miami Vice episode from Season 1 "Milk Run". Ends with Eddie taking a shotgun blast to the chest and being blown into a display case filled with Yar's Revenge and Super Breakout

and at least 1 label variation

That would be a fun thread to start. Might have to do that. And I will say, if anybody out there is dead set on having the full US set, i'm open to overly generous offers, haha.

Do you (or anybody) know of a list of actually obtainable games for US releases? Wide release, complete with boxes and manuals. It would be cool to have the definitive "full" collection and have games like this be extras, since it's impossible for there to be a "complete" collection when there are so many titles with only 1-2-3 known copies.

That's a fun age to be getting to, isn't it? Haha. The people who collect what you like to collect are getting old enough to die off, so their stuff will be in the marketplace again...is it too early for a drink?

I know right? It's been nearly 10 years since I found anything, and 20 since I found a Demon Attack proto. Thought those days were long gone.

Given the price they had on it I would guess it came in as part of a collection and tossed out on the shelf

It's highly unlikely because the cart and label are definitely from the era (right look and feel along with wear), and from what I understand a prototype wasn't even found of this until the early 2000s

Thank you, it still hasn't exactly sunk in yet what I've found. And yes, I am coordinating with someone locally to meet up at one of the monthly video game collector shows here to have it dumped. might be a little bit because I'm about to go back out on the road for the day job. Unless someone can point me to a way to do it myself.

Sorry about that! Here you go!

Here are a couple of different options for you. Sorry for the delay, been a crazy morning. Let me know if you need anything else!

I'm trying to coordinate with someone in my town to get it dumped. probably going to be several weeks because I'm about to go on another road trip for my day job (which is how I found this one)

Trust me, you're not the only one that's speechless and needs time to process, haha. Still just doesn't seem real. I bought it and went to my car to look it up on AtariMania and saw the little Holy Grail icon in rarity and wasn't sure what that meant. Then I clicked it and saw what all was listed there. Mother of god, haha. Don't have the exact weight, but it feels like a standard cart, not overly heavy or light. And yes, I will be doing one of the end label photos this morning and will post it.
