It would... I know the game isn't rare by any means, but it has taken me what feels like AGES to track this one down in a box without the black swatch. Good prompting though - I'll message the seller and ask them to pack well.

Thank you! It’s been some work and several years to accomplish, but I’m stoked!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, I really do appreciate the help. That was the last game I needed to complete a full CIB Activision/Absolute set! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You are the man! Thank you as that’s just what I was after. Purchased, paid and done! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well - the auction didn’t work out. I lost it with seconds to go, so I’m still looking in case anyone has one for sale. Thx! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fantastic - thank you so much! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the heads up on those listings. I have seen them and decided to pass since they aren’t the box I’m looking for. Hopefully one turns up soon... [emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bumping this up...

A hearty "Thank You" for doing this - that was my question and I'm glad to hear it'll be preserved for going back to watch later. I'm in the same boat as some others where several of the guest schedules overlap with prior commitments, so I'm looking forward to going back and watching later.

Thank you very much - I inadvertently answered my own question shortly after posting (see above). I should have looked a few minutes longer before hopping on the reply train...

It looks like the OP has gone MIA and hasn't been on the forum for 2+ years, so is there another member that is offering these refresh" by chance? Thank you! I didn't realize that "Console5.com" was a thing, as the picture being watermarked just didn't immediately look legit to me. I dug around on their site and found links to their kits, posted below: 4-switch/Juniors - https://console5.com/store/atari-2600-junior-refresh-cap-kit-new-capacitors-and-more.html Total refresh kit - https://console5.com/store/atari-2600-total-refresh-kit-new-capacitors.html

Now this is interesting! I'm in for the follow to see how this unfolds. Good work!!

Hi everyone - I've been looking for a nice, clean CIB copy of Activision Fishing Derby for quite some time with no luck so I wanted to check here to see if anyone has one they would be willing to sell. I'd prefer the "clean" (no black swatch) version of the box, if at all possible (box on the right in the attached picture). Thank you in advance for any consideration! Regards, Whitney

Thanks for doing this review - it's good to see the controller being used on several different systems and games. This being a combo (paddle) controller is pretty ingenious as well. Any ideas on a potential ETA to this going on sale to the public? I'm definitely interested in getting one, as it's significantly more portable (along with the RetroN77) than a CX-10/40.

Same here - I'm looking forward to them becoming available again. Thanks Al!

Hi Perry, I just sent you a PM as I'm interested in ordering a PK edition cartridge if you are still building. I do have a spare BallBlazer to use for the build. Thank you!!

Checkers has been found. Thanks to everyone who posted/PM’d!

Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for using VS Code and making this cross-platform. Huge props!

Yes, it's definitely doable, but the prices continue to go up. Games like Beamrider, Cosmic Commuter, Private Eye and Hero show no signs of slowing down, either. Double Dragon has been almost impossible for me to obtain boxed due to price. While I was at the National Videogame Museum in Frisco, TX a couple of weeks back, I also saw there was a Gostbusters 2 for the 2600 and I had no idea that even existed. I'm big on Activision and the color/gatefold Atari 2600 games..those were the heavy-hitters of my youth with the Silver box games coming in a close second, so I'll have a special spot in my heart for all of them for the rest of my life.

Indeed it is...rarer than one would immediately think. I'm down to needing this and Double Dragon in box and I've got the full CIB set done, so I'm blaming it on my own OCD and love for the Activision box art.

Yeah, I did see that - I just hate to burn a hundy on that one game, but it might become worth it to grab it and then unload the other games... I'll do that as last resort, as I was really wanting to find a bit nicer of a box, tbh.

I'm hoping it won't but am expecting it to, unfortunately.

PM sent - the Activision patches are beyond brilliant!

I'd like to pick up CIB copies of both/either Superman and/or Adventure in good, clean shape. Please PM if you have them for sale. Thank you!
