Colecovision lot: $1250 Atari lot: $750 Price on bundled lot: $1600 Looking to sell a collection of CIB Atari and Colecovision games/accessories. There are about 70 games in varying conditions. We’re moving in a few weeks and are looking to downsize a bit. I’m hoping to move this as a lot and am willing to consider offers Here is a link to all the pictures: https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0PGrq0zwG4fPIc Here is a link to a Google sheets document with a list of games and prices based on Pricecharting: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oTgS9Owj6MN7RDZTpwCeT4Xn6xDjvWY6IIaObJbzNsg/edit

That’d be great, I haven’t been able to contact him

I have a Crystal Castles arcade cabinet with side art that I haven’t seen anywhere else outside of an original arcade flyer for Crystal Castles. I was hoping someone on this forum might be able to shed some more light on this. The side art on my cabinet has Bentley bear without a hat, whereas every other cabinet I’ve seen has him wearing the wizard hat. My serial number is UR00007 which leads me to believe this is just a very early edition cabinet. If that is the case, my question is how many were produced with this early artwork before changing Bentley’s appearance? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

First, I'd like to say that I really appreciate all the feedback. While the "immediate" message may be the only viable option, I've still got about 2 months before this would take place, so I may leave this up and try to see if anyone comes up with a solution to the original request. We don't actually have the atari set up or anything, and part of the surprise would be her actually getting to play crystal castles for the first time at our place. As it gets closer to deadline I may have to re-evaluate, but for right now I'm gonna hold out hope that someone might be able to program a message into the actual game, even if it's just a short one. Please feel free to keep the suggestions coming, this is great!

I appreciate the replies so far. You guys are speaking another language so I apologize if my questions sound stupid, however: I'm not so much concerned with keeping the entire game in tact. Would it be possible to eliminate portions of the code? For example, remove the 4th level entirely and replace it with the message, and once the message plays the game skips right to the 5th level? Also, I could keep the message very short if there appears to be some wiggle room. Again, if anyone thinks there might be some options here I'd be happy to send copies of the game out and compensate you for your time. Please let me know. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. What would it take to verify this information? Is this something you'd be able to do? What would you need from me? Thanks

Admittedly I don't know very much about Atari or programming in general...but here's the story: My girlfriend is a big fan of the Crystal Castles arcade game because her dad used to play it all the time in their basement. After he passed away about 10 years ago, they had to sell the machine, but I know this game holds a lot of meaning for her because it brings back fond memories. I'm hoping to propose in the next couple of months and was trying to think of creative ways to do it...which leads me here: Is it at all possible to take the Atari 2600 cartridge version of Crystal Castles and program a message into it? For example, after she completed Level 3, it would trigger a message scrolling across the screen. I certainly don't have the ability to make this happen, so I was hoping someone here might have a suggestion (or just tell me that this is a pipe dream). I'm even willing to pay a programmer for their services if this is a possibility. Please let me know and we can discuss further. Thanks!
