    So I found this at the flea market

    I wanted to do a rarity check for the PAL version of this game but I couldn't really find any data for it. I know the NTSC version is one of the rarer Telesys games but I'd love to know more about the PAL version

    Actually, I know the story. This is no photoshop!

    Once upon a time, some guy in Taiwan made an Atari console for Atari, but he had no idea of what would happen to it as it arrived to America in order to be sold. Its first owner was a guy that was an employee of the Three Mile Island power plant. This console was actually the reason there was a nuclear accident at that place on March 29, 1979, as the employee who bought the system brought it to work because he was just like Homer Simpson: A fat, lazy and stupid guy who works in a power plant! Nevertheless, during several rounds of Dodge'em and Circus Atari, he didn't see that the reactor had melted and made a huge mess, but as soon as he had to change the controller (he wasn't that stupid he didn't even know that Circus Atari is for use with Paddle Controllers), he saw that he and his job were fucked big time. His first reflex was to throw the system in the reactor to cool it down, but it didn't quite work out… The guy is now known to be dead (Actually, he did not die because of the radiation, instead he got lynched by his boss and a bunch of hippies), but the console is still known to exist, albeit with weird switch malformation.

    That was the story of the 14-switch atari, which is now a collector's item, with people wanting to trade their copy of Air Raid for it.

    I have an original labeled 1 too. Theres a CIB one and a loose 1 on ebay right now both with labels. Thats 6. But theres no tellin how many people have ataris put up in attics and basements that may have this game and even Air Raid and have no idea they're anything more than old junk toys.

    Not to mention that someone may find thousands of copies in a warehouse like Cheetahmen 2, although I know the odds are a little lower because of the crash and stuff.

    Thanks a lot, Secret Santa from Ireland. Even though I've already got all these games for my NES, the lollies are very nice and the Atari games too (It's my first 2600 pirate ^^)

    Oh, and thanks for the patch!

    BTW I hope my recipient gets his stuff soon. I just hope I noted the address right and that the package gets to him safely because he lives on the other side of the globe

    As you may know, I was searching for a PAL heavy sixer for quite some time now. But today I found this interesting offer on eBay, but I don't completely trust it.

    It looks like to be a HS, but the box looks like a typical Light Sixer box. Plus we can't see the console well, an the price seems too high.

    Is it worth it or not?

    I almost bought a large bag of this for everyone. It's particularly funny when you substitute the pronunciation of the real name with "ANUS."

    I absolutely LOVE Anise. Here I buy some "L'Abbaye de Flavigny" anises... That doesn't mean I'm a fecophiliac, though.
