Many of the Atari Corp release have incorrect controller info, and some have black tape covering controller info.

Glue stick does not work perfectly. All of my glue sticks are of a very rubbery amber state, and the entire lipstick chap tends to loosen off of its heels. Then I hold the bare tong in my fingers and when I try to apply glue, it is a like cheeing gum that refuses to fold away from the tong mass.

The alien at the end is "gamme" not "gammy", that is a typo on Rom's website.

Don't EVER bring those up again.

In reply to mikey.shake. I wonder what he would've said if you grouped the expensive games into one lot, you bought them in one transaction, getting half off on expensive games. Then had your wife buy the cheaper lot in a separate transaction....

$150 is way too much IMO.

Is there a significant value difference for SIB vs mint CIB for Atari? Wouldn't it be easy to shrink wrap a CIB box with non-factory plastic? How could one tell?

Ok. This association with atari is normal for someone who knows a great deal about it. It is a good way to connect and share yourself.

I really like the feedback: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=tbhs575&ftab=AllFeedback

Any updates on this?

Perhaps a better title would be "Make Fake Atari 2600 Games with No Programming"

How about "Make Atari-ish 2600 Games with No Programming"

Cool thread, for me Lock n Chase and Smurf

Also the Odyssey II games appear to have an IO prefix, so I am pretty confident the A is for Atari, M for Mattel, and O for Odyssey. Not sure about the Z. Below is a pic of the side of an Odyssey^2 Demon Attack box:

I meant to say IZ prefix for the Atari computers. Not sure where the Z is coming from. On the pic from the link note the "I" at the end of the model number to indicate "international". http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-demon-attack_28225.html

Don't forget the Atari 400/800 games by Imagic (I think there were only 3 or 4 of them). I believe those had a Z prefix on the model numbers.

This doesn't answer the IA vs O question, but may shed some light on the "A" in IA. If you look at the boxes for Imagic games produced for the Intellivision console, the prefix is IM (I would guess IM stands for Imagic). So I think the A is there to distinguish the console as Atari, or perhaps just the next letter after M in "IMAGIC". I haven't looked at the Colecovision boxes, what do those say? I still do not know why O. It seems the O's were on the rarer (later produced?) games.

Check it on your phones

You can still be accurate. Just be clear that this is a manual for a variation and not for the exact game for this page. Then once you get the Toby manual you can change it. There's no reason to be that obsessive over it, especially when it's causing people to not find the information they need.

If the goal is to get information out, then why not link an instruction scan to all variations/versions of a game?
