I was convinced this was just another "lootcrate" until I saw the reveal. another flashback? meh....

I have worked with Michael over the years to release several Sega CD titles as well as the continuing discs in the Arcade Ambiance Series and our last collaboration - From Neptune to Earth (a fan based fiction piece.) Michael has been a quality business partner (and competitor) and a good friend. His reliability in our dealing has always been top notch and I think if you are seriously considering this purchase, a phone call to Michael would help relieve any suspicion you might have. Best of luck Michael, I'll speak with you soon! Jay J2Games.com

With Al's kind permission, I am posting the following here on AtariAge. I figured if I wanted to find a quality and knowledgable Atari Moderator - I would need to come to the undisputed place for all things Atari... HERE! Mod: If there is a better location for this posting - appreciate your redirection. _____________________ Greetings Gamers!

Win a GAME DOCTOR Prize Packet! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We wanted to share this with our friends here at AtariAge. Please join us and get in your question for a chance to win some great stuff! http://j2games.com/new/forum/index.php?topic=847.0 " Back when I was writing the column Q&A for the original EG in the early 80s, I always made it a practice to mail whichever reader sent me the best question each issue a Game Doctor Prize Packet. This was just a collection of gaming geegaws -- pens, temp tattoos, pins and other items bearing game logos and such -- but some of the most prominent people in today's game industry were among the winners and still tell me how much they loved getting these game treats. Well, I've decided I want to do a new Q&A column once a month here on J2Games.com, and to prime the pump, whoever sends me the best question each month (deadline for the next installment is Halloween) will get a very special Retro Prize Packet that will include game magazines, pins, pens, logo mugs and more. Of course all questions are subject to being printed. So start scratching your heads, stroking your beards or whatever it is you do to generate a solid question. Or maybe there's something you've always wondered about? Now's the time to get it off your chest. Send those Q's to gamedoctor@j2games.com and I'll get you the A's -- and maybe even that special Prize Packet. Game on! --Bill "The Game Doctor" Kunkel"
