...want.

Oh yeah, watch "Atari: Game Over" Howard Scott Warsaw and Nolan Bushnell talk about drinking at Atari, buying kegs on company credit cards, and doing drugs. Its amazing they made money for so long when hear about what was going on.

I voted ice cream, because ice cream. But in all seriousness, Space Game could work as the title.

To be fair though, what other system has as many interesting label variations as Atari? Certainly not a Nintendo.

Got any extra Zellers carts?

I am guessing you don't do label variations.

I had the same problem with mine. Manually program channel 2 or 3 into the T.V. and it should work fine. I suggest 3 since its more likely to be set up to receive antenna signals on channel 3.

A very good point. Activision and Imagic were able to do it because they were founded by ex-Atari programmers.

Ooh, like ice cream flavors? White vanilla. Red strawberry. Orange sherbet. Maybe even a multi color Superman! I can dig it. That would be cool too.

That Q*Bert is an Atari Corp. red label re-release.

The Supercharger doesn't actually increase the RAM of the system, it basically works as a 6KB cartridge, just like how Burgertime and Mountain King do with the extra RAM in the cartridges. That said, it's still super cool.

Well Brazil has some tough importation laws if what I hear is correct. So they have to make a lot in country to get it at all. Hmmm...European publisher, International Editions, these must all be PAL games. I can't use any of them, darn it. I'm afraid I am no longer interested in them. Sorry.

Because compared to the old games, Homebrews are expensive and have almost no history. That and not all of them are good, just like the old games. If I made a top 20 list of my favorite 2600 games, Melbourne Tatty would not be on that list.

Back then, it would cost a lot more than that if it had been produced. Juno First is 32KB in size, which is larger than most(if not all) of the other games produced at the time. I'd say Atari would put the price up higher at maybe...$50 or more to offset the higher production costs. I don't know what the price difference between a 4 and 32KB board, but I imagine its pretty minimal today compared to what it was back then.

Unfortunately, I already own all of those, but no worries, here are the pictures of the four on your list. Were you interesting in any of the others?

Sure, I was just going through and separating out my extras. On your list, I also have Pitfall II, Dragonfire, and Secret Quest. I'll provide pictures in a minute, Secret Quest isn't in good shape, but the others are very nice. List of others I have: Pac Man Stellar Track Steeplechase Mega Force Skeet Shoot Spacechase River Raid Moonsweeper Star Voyager Moonsweeper is hard, but also very nice and colorful, I think you'd like it too. You have any extras for trade?

I have a spare Joust if you want it. I say it's another good one.

Isn't Pole Position II for the 7800? Other than that, nice collection, Yars is good. Love that game.

Hello and welcome! I recommend most of Imagic's games, with Dragonfire getting a special mention. Ver colorful. Secret Quest by Atari, gets a special mention too, mainly because it's a bit of a secret to many Atari players, and of course, good old Berserk. Star Raiders, really complex, but not a bad choice to show off the system. Same for Solaris. Other games, Q*bert is a classic, and Astroblast can use either the joystick or the paddles, so that kind of shows off the system a bit.

Thanks Al!

International Trick Shot and Pitfall! both. Do you know if they are PAL or NTSC? I can't use PAL games with my TV, it blocks the signal. (Curse you Regional Lockout!) I am also interested in Plaque Attack, Video Olympics, and Boxing. I wanted Defender II and Mario Bros. as well, but seems they're already spoken for. I am also curious as to why Airlock says Gameworld on it and not Data Age. Is it international as well?

Aww drag. Well, if you ever find a source, see if you can get them in the store. I will always be willing to pay extra for them, just like Rebooteriods.

Huh, that is something isn't it? Everything I have read about Apollo up until now said Ed was a teenager at the time, even on Atari Age here, but he sure doesn't look like a teenager in that article.
