  1. Atari didn't need mascots, that's only for the needy, lesser consoles
  2. Nice, I'm a Portfolio fan. Sounds good, let's see some pictures.
  3. Quick ebay it, 200,000 bucks for a sealed NES game: Super Mario Bros. - Wata 9.4 A+ Sealed [Hangtab, 3 Code, | Lot #93028 | Heritage Auctions
  4. Hello RevEng Thank you very much, now I can catalogue it properly.
  5. Thanks for the picture. I got this one: Version ? Other question: Is it a hombrew?
  6. Awesome work. In January I would like to buy the Cosmic Commuter patch, shipping to Germany.
  7. That was very enjoyable. Even the French computers were made with style.
  8. I always click on Atari General when I want to click on Atari 2600, that is very confusing.
  9. Thank you very much. Sometimes when I search, and I don't get what I need. Getting old.
  10. Late box, nothing special. they did cheap generic boxes
  11. Which year was AtariVox released?
  12. This (and Space Invaders, cib) for $12. Was sold as Space Invaders and copy.
  13. I would've liked some Activision sequels, we had Pitfall II, and later, River Raid II, Ghostbusters II. Enduro 2 would've been nice, Space Shuttle could've had a sequel (Rescue from Space) But Atari had so many games, I think the programmers rather did new games, than sequels?
  14. Dare I say....X Man....one of my favourite games. It's got playability and a goal. So, X Man II would be welcome in my house (When I'm not unemployed, of course)
  15. It is on Wikipedia, I posted that there many years ago: Games by Apollo - Wikipedia
  16. Ms Pac-Man was earlier, but she wasn't 'human'!! Maybe Simon Says would count as earlier. because you see a 'female' human person on the TV Overlay. Posted this before, but here ya go: Leading (main) female characters in video games: Odyssey: Female player (Simon Says, Odyssey, 1972, selectable main character) Apple ][: Female player selection (Akalabeth: World of Doom, Origin, 1979, selectable) Clair (Cave Girl Clair, Addison Wesley, 1983, main character) Lauren (Lauren of the 25th century, Addison Wesley, 1983, main character) Chelsea (Chelsea of the south sea Islands, Addison Wesley, 1983, main character) Jenny (Jenny of the prairie, Addison Wesley, 1984, main character) Arcade: Ms. Pac-Man (Ms. Pac-Man, Bally Midway, 1981, main character) Lady Bug (Lady Bug, Universal, 1981, main character) Kissy and Takky (Baraduke, Namco, 1985, main characters) ATARI VCS: Billie Sue (Wabbit, Games by Apollo, 1982, main character), 1st female human main character in a console game Dolphin (Dolphin, female Dolphin, Activision, 1983, main character) Lilly (Lilly Adventure, Home Vision, Alice (Alice Adventure, Quelle, 1983, main character) Laurie Strode (Halloween, Wizard Video Games, 1983, main character) Blond girl (Ghost Manor, Xonox, 1983, selectable) Leading Lady (Beat ‘em and eat ‘em, Mystique, 1983, main character) Strawberry Shortcake (Strawberry Shortcake, Parker, 1983, main character) Chinese Girl (Dancing Plates, Dishaster, Bit Corp.,Zimag, 1983, main character) Miss Piggy (Pigs in Space starring Miss Piggy, Atari, 1983, main character) Inventa (handheld game & watch) Snow White (Snow White, Inventa, 1983, main character Sleeping Beauty (Sleeping Beauty, Inventa, 1983, main character) Colecovison: Anna Lee (Cabage Patch Kids, Coleco, 1984, main character) Atari 8-bit: Clair (Cave Girl Clair, Addison Wesley, 1983, main character) Lauren (Lauren of the 25th century, Addison Wesley, 1983, main character) Chelsea (Chelsea of the south sea Islands, Addison Wesley, 1983, main character) Jenny (Jenny of the prairie, Addison Wesley, 1984, main character) Kim Kimberly (Snowball, Return to Eden, Level 9 Computing, 1983, 1984, main character) Candi, Marlena, Dominique, Lindsay, Dawn, Crystal, Cynthia, Janice, Suzie, Melissa, Marina, Sylvia (Strip Poker, Artworx, 1983, main characters) Alexandra (Lode Runner’s Rescue, Synapse, 1985, main character) Englishwoman (Plundered Hearts, Infocom, 1987, main character) Sega SG-1000: Papri (Girl’s Garden, Sega, 1984, main character) C64: Barbie (Barbie, Epyx, 1984, main character) Trixie Trinian (The secret of St. Brides, Audiogenic, 1985, main character) Alter Ego female version (Alter Ego, Activision, 1986, main character)
  17. I think at the time a 5 million seller was out of the question, the market wasn't that huge. HSW, all of his games (3) sold a million each, in those days that was lots.
  18. I like Lost Luggage. Wabbit: Billy Sue, the first human female main character in a video game
  19. I would've liked the red boxed version. Or even the Guru Meditation game
  20. Who actually owns this: I think it was very expensive way back? I'm happy to get this:
  21. Atari 2600 Rainbow Jr. Console/System w/5 Games + Cont In Original Box + 5 Games | eBay I've seen this before, never noticed the box being 'Long Rainbow'.
  22. A Short Rainbow console in a Long Rainbow box? That is weird, nice score.
  23. Except cheap tape games from companies like Mastertronic, Players and wotnot, I always purchased the disk version when buying games for my C64 and A8. Mind you, C64 disk loading was still slow when loading from disk drive. WHSmith, computer shops, Woolies and others always sold both, tape and disk.
  24. I liked this game back in the day. Activision were the 'next level', regarding VCS games.
