Yeah, there's no Breakaway I, II, or II carts out there. But there is a Sears Pinball/Breakaway dedicated console (same as Atari's Video Pinball.)
The picture label Breakaway IV is a cool find! If Sears picture carts were desigamted as either rare/semi-rare/super-rare, it would fall into the semi-rare category.

Not to mention that $200 + boxed Sears Math cart!
Since when is a boxed Sears Math a $200 item?
Iwan, that is a great collection you have! Well done so far

My highest score on this game is 109,741, but I did that awhile ago so don't count it for this round
It gets very tough the further you get, but my main strategy was to always get the free man (frog) when it was available. The part that always got me was the black bat in the sky scene
I've always felt that this was one of the best games for the 5200. Very addictive and challenging!

Well, would some of the more senior members care to volunteer what they paid back when they purchased said items? All the little smileys used in this and other topics have this wink, wink secret joystick handshake, back-slapping mentality that I find slightly off-putting.I see what you're saying, but in defense of those guys, I believe their posts merely reflect their astonishment to DreamTR's (very) high offers to buy these games.
Remember, these are DreamTR's prices. I don't take that as thinking that's what I'm going to have to pay for those games. Nor do we all need to believe that that's what those games are now worth. That's what he is willing to pay and I respect that and think that's also a good way to increase his chances of obtaining these titles.
Good luck DreamTR!

I do not have them handy but if you look at the cartridge scans of the games here on AA, both cartridge pictures as well as Cubicolor's instructions were taken from pics of my cartridges.I thought that Atlantis II was mine?
I know I submitted my copy for the picture in a batch of stuff I sent over.
That may be, but I sent my boxed Atlantis II, along with the letters, to Alex so that he could dump the ROM and scan everything for the guide.
When they did the feature on Atlantis II, they credit me as well. So yes, that scan came from my Atlantis II
Just to be clear, I'm not calling you out on anything, nor am I trying to sabotage your sale. I'm just stating that I know for a fact that all the Atlantis II images were taken from my copy.
Good luck with the sale (I wish I could pick up your Cubicolor! That's something i never had!)

@ Zwackery you are right about labeless PAL Boing! carts. IIRC The 5th Ghost had one.Still have it! (will sell it too
) -
Looking for this Keyboard Controllers box...
This is what the back looks like.
PM me if anyone has one for sale. Thanks!
-
Quiz for all... do you rotate the paddle with just your fingers, or do you keep the fingers relatively still and just flex your wrist? I mainly move my wrist.I use my fingers to rotate the paddle, not my wrist.

Plus $21.35 to ship? Is that going Express Mail?
-
Must be a Sears box.

go back there with the Atari baseball bat and ask him ... "So you don't know what atari 2600 is?"HA!
My bat! I'm glad somebody saved that picture, since it is no longer in my computer.
(I still have the bat, of course)

That is awesome man!
I have a similar story concerning my own Glib cart. It was actually among the first games I found back when I started actively hunting for Atari at the thrifts and whatnot...
One day I bought a bag of carts at the thrift store, (back before they sold them individually,) and this was a BIG bag. I didn't know all that was in it, but for $6 I was buying it! When I dumped all the games out of the bag, I noticed a lot of unfamiliar carts; Glib being one of them.
To me, Glib just looked like a poor excuse for an Atari game, with a pretty generic looking label, and I couldn't figure out what to do when I tried "playing" it. So, it went in my oddball/reject pile of games.
Then, years later, I discovered this site and while browsing the rarity guide, saw that it was rated a 9. I remember thinking "hmmm, Glib? I wonder if that's the same game I have..." At that point, I realized that I needed to find that box of "reject/oddball" games! I found the box in my old basement...by the toilet of all places LOL
I'm happy to say that my Glib is now displayed more honorably
Funny how a rarity 9 designation can quickly change a persons opinion about a game!

Do you mean selling the blanks?Thanks.
Blank or printed.
But you may know there's this one particular box I wanted
-
Very interesting! How difficult was it to get exact measurements? And out of curiosity, what box (or flat) was used to get the specs?
Do you plan on selling boxes?

Anyone else have trouble jumping scorpions in Pitfall?
in Atari 5200
Posted
I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong. It seems hit or miss when jumping the scorpions. Usually I clear them, but eventually I die.
This makes the game virtually impossible to finish since you have to use the underground passages to reach all the treasures.
