[Art of Atari.]

I've got that one and the Poster version. They are great (well, my Poster version is still sealed)

I think there's a third version?

 

[Anyone remember Electronic Games magazine???]

In the UK I also found out about the USA Computer Gaming World magazine.

That also was awesome. reading about the games for Apple ][, Atari 8 bit Computer and Commodore 64 and later PC.

If I remember right, there was a EG 90s version, shortlived? Joe Santulli had a page in that version?

In Germany I read ASM (Aktueller Software Markt), Happy Computer.

In UK, numerous, never seen so many Gaming magazines, it was gaming heaven (Especially after Germany wanting to ban video games)

EGM was to be found sometimes in the UK, but at least Antic was always available.

That is just silly, especially when it comes to stuff like Mythicon titles, I had cases of them brand new.  Not shrink wrapped.

I know, isn't that silly. But you could get near, I guess.

Shrinkwrap was usually added, not removed.  I believe the same rings true for the grey box, since IIRC they have hang tabs.

 

EDIT: What I was trying to clarify is, if glued shut counts.

Oh yes, I see. I remember glued shut. Two rounds dots (glue circles?) on either side.

I'm just interested in shrink wrapped, because lots of collectors find it necessary to collect only shrink wrapped games

That depends on what you mean by sealed, do you simply mean the cart can't accessed?

Like this, thanks:

 

I've understood that some collectors only collect sealed games.

I don't think any Telesys games were sealed. Certainly not here in the UK. Woolworths had the price labels directly on the boxes. 

My Stargunner is still sealed.

 

[Not Sealed Games]

Which games were not sealed? Maybe Australia HES Plastic Boxes? Birthday Mania, Air Raid and others like Chase the Chuckwagon?

 

[How long have you been a member of eBay?]

1998 or early 1999. I was in UK, and eBay hadn't arrived yet. I think eBay UK was mid or late 1999?

So I had to register with eBay USA. My nick was Corinna von Hausen.

My first item was Virtual Fishing (Japan only game for Virtual Boy).

 

And, men actually hit on me thinking I was female for real.

 

I still use a female name nowadays on ebay. Male sellers are so much nicer if I want to return something or cancel the auction. Always works.

[Atari Hotels: roach motels or the bomb-diggity? YOU decide!]

Like Nintendo, Love Hotels, now that'll be awesome

[New to AA and I have a question]

Well, Atari Inc., Atari Corp., Atari Games, Atari SA, Atari Interactive sued AtariAge for billions and squillions of dollars, but AA won by a landslide. Because we rock.

[Atari 2600 Games You Still Play?]

Depends on my mood.

Being unemployed, I got oodles of time playing VCS, but also C64, A8, Playstation 1.

At the moment I'm playing Alien Attack, nice little shooter on the VCS, available from Good Deal Games.

 

[Looking for the best portable Atari console.]

I love the Flashback Portable, way back I played it at work all the time.

 

I haven't tried my Blaze Retro Handheld Console yet, the sticker is still on the screen and looks so nice.

[Reccommend some Homebrews for me!]

How could I forget:

Give me my Pancake. Nice little homage to Nintendos G&W

[Reccommend some Homebrews for me!]

Dungeon II: Solstice, yes great RPG, played it at work until finished (or until I was made unemployed, whichever came first)
