accousticguitar Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) I was reading the Atari 2600 Connection issue #8 and one of the letters to the editor states "I didn't buy one, but there was a cartridge from a company called Menavision or Menovision. It came in a box that opens like a book. The cartridge is a powder blue color and has a distinctive 'T-bar' handle. Also, there were no instructions in any box. Have you ever heard of it?" Interesting, no? Edited April 11, 2009 by accousticguitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Psionic Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 What exactly is "Atari 2600 Connection?" And when did issue #8 come out? It's a newsletter that's been published since 1990. Issue #8 was from Jan/Feb 1992. http://2600connection.atari.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHATETHEBEARS Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 So what (if anything) was known about Air Raid back in 1992? If someone asked that question today, there would be tons of (justifiable) skepticism. But what about back in 1992? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHATETHEBEARS Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I guess someone could call him to see if he remembers anything more. BRIAN GILBUR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Wonder007 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I taught in Northridge for seven years.....I wonder if he was a former student of mine. It's interesting too because all of my students knew I love Atari. I remember one student in particular told me he had a whole bunch of Atari games and he wanted to sell them to me.....but I do not recall his name and I never followed through.....I wonder if that is him although the name does not ring a bell......

HFK Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I am pretty excited that one of the big mysteries might be solved before too long. I don't hold much hope for this lead but the one on the CIB in Mexico really has me stoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
