Would love to have a copy of this!, Huge Atari fan and Huge TCM fan this would be really cool, for about $200 not 1K that is a little too steep for most of us.

Tons and tons of funny stories went on in the early days of Atari they Did tons of drugs, Hookers, practical jokes, Parties(day and night)and made video games. What more could you ask for in a movie?

Wow! this is amazing! this auction is also listed in wikipedia under how much it is worth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadium_Events

When i was first starting my atari collection I could have very easily bid on something like this. A new collector just sees something they have never seen before and wants it because it look unique. I agree Ebay does need to do something about this, alot of people are getting ripped off.

NEVER ok to mail CIB games in a bubble mailer!

I have looked and can't find anything saying it is cancelled, so hopefully that was just a rumor.

I have a Channel F and a compumate add on computer for the Atari 2600

OMFG! That is awesome!!

Awhile ago we all heard about this. As we all know Leo Dicaprio was pegged to play Nolan Bushnell. It was like 2 years ago I first heard about this, but no news lately. I am a huge Nolan Bushnell fan. I have always thought that he ran his business in a way that induced creativity. If anyone has any info or new links to info please pass it on. Thanks Dave

I don't understand how anyone can believe this didn't happen. I could see today people making fun of the incident and saying they dumped ET and PacMan cart, which everyone now know were way overproduced, but even back then one of the articles implied it was ET carts. C'mon and wake up. It definately happened/ It defiantely was one of Atari's low points, and we all should have a Retro Gaming Convention in New Mexico. Everyone bring your shovels and jackhammers.

Great Video. I have seen many of his reviews, he gave props to Atari in this one, usually he goes off about how shitty agame was. Nice to see that he liked the Swordquest series.

Good Choice, I wouldn't sell it either. Be carefull you may catch the Atari Collectors bug!

I've had these dreams on many occassions, Always dissapointing to wake up.

I don't need any pics I'll give you 20 bucks for it without the hassle of posting any pics. Seriously, would like to see pics of anything you have with it, Are you planning on puting it up for sale here in the marketplace?

It was not $2 billion, it was around $4 billion in losses, according to Forbes. That's why I used that figure earlier in the thread. http://www.joystiq.com/2005/09/26/forbes-xbox-lost-microsoft-4-billion-and-counting/ Yes they did loose 4 billion, over the life cycle of the Xbox, NOT the first year. The first year as I stated they lost around 2 billion.

At This Point Atari is not much more than a name. It is owned by infogames. Atari did not release the popular Plug N Play games a few years ago, A toy company called Jakks Pacific did. They DID however release the Flashback and Flashback 2. However Atari has nowhere near the capital to release any real new gaming system. In 2008 they were to be pulled from the NASDAQ and struggled to show that the company had assets of 15 million to stay listed. Any new system today would cost considerably more, as Microsoft saw with around 2 Billion in losses from the introduction of the first Xbox in the first year. Unfortunately this will never see the light of day. Wish it could/would but not anytime soon.

I agree, G4 was once the reason I got the full cable package, just for that channel. I would always watch G4tv. They had lots of original programming. Just looked through the guide the next 24 hours are 23 1/2 hours of shit and Xplay for 1/2 hour. Amazing that they call themselves a gaming channel. Bring back Laura Foy!

Wish That it would. I really enjoyed the shows, would be great if G4 revisted the same subjects maybe a little more in depth. I kind of think they are done with any original programming anymore. Cheaters or Cops anyone?

Loved ET for the 2600 and Shaq-Fu for the Genesis

Here are some pics of my game collection from last year, Have a few more since then. Started with just Atari, and branched out, about 10 years ago.

how is the box conditions, Paypal? or check?

I laughed when I saw this, Even more when I found out it was serious. Will You be putting up your extras of Combat Later? Good Luck!

I was very happy to pay only $125.00 for mine.

Can't wait to see the pics. Very nice to see you using old school Atari as an education tool in 2010. Awesome!

I have the same thing with about 10 ROMs. I have seen quite a few of them over the years. Pretty neat but they are fairly easy to find. Think I paid like 25.00 for mine 3 years ago.
