Art of Atari - book in progress and need help

[Art of Atari - book in progress and need help]

Saw the book in B&N a couple of weeks ago... it's really lovely. I'm strongly hoping it ends up under the Christmas tree.

[Rare 1978 Flag Capture Label Sold Cheap]

Somehow my saved search with email alerts looking for this cart didn't show it to me, darnit!

[Pro-Tech 39-in-1...]

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 151557595947

 

Anybody know what games are on this/are they real from something or modern made-for-this crap? A quick google didn't make it clear.

[100 cartridge club]

Just was working on updating my list... 394, though I need to go back and do a physical-to-list comparison again as I think there may be a few things I've missed. Everything that's a major variation is counted in that, so Atari text, Atari pic, Sears text, and Sears pic are all included in the total.

[Atari 2600 Cartridge Binder/Folder]

I posted a different thread about this but no one had it... hoping someone will notice in this thread that has them... looking for a picture of the labels that came with these!

[Labels for Atari binders...]

There's not a pic of the labels in there, unfortunately.

[Labels for Atari binders...]

Has somebody got a picture of the labels that came with the brown Atari cartridge binders? For some reason I can't find one, though I know I've seen one, and I really need to know for sure what they looked like. Thanks!!

 

(Oh, and sorry for my extremely long absence. )

I'd been wondering about all his auctions because of the repros being passed off as real... will be interesting to see what comes of it.

[Poll: Is ET as bad as people claim?]

Nothing could actually be as bad as E.T. is claimed to be. And it's actually not even close... I remember the day I bought it, not long after it came out. The woman at the store said, in a very "it's-bad-but-I-want-you-to-buy-this-anyway" tone, "it's a challenging little game". I took it home, was briefly frustrated, then figured out what was going on and have enjoyed it ever since.

[What would you pay for a Boxed Sears Superman ?]

Hmmn, that's definitely way more than I expected... will be interesting to see if it shows up again or if it's really going for that.

[I got my Atari to control my Nintendo R.O.B. Robot!]

That's really cool... yes, ROB is kind of useless, but it's nice to see him being useless with an Atari.

Thundarr the Barbarian.

[What have you actually PLAYED tracker for 2011 (Season 4)]

 

I hadn't played Bruce Lee, Caverns of Khafka, or Way Out before. Bruce Lee is good fun, though I haven't made it past the third underground scene yet.

 

I love Bruce Lee (played the C64 version, not the A8 one). I've actually managed to play all the way through it twice. Hint (assuming the versions work the same): when you get to the place with the extra life, it repops if you go back to the screen, and will do that five times. It means for you to get them once each time through for five times, but it's easier if you just get them all up front.

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

Cool Spot is definitely a fun game (I've got the Genesis version). Harder than I expected it to be!

[Scans For Rom]

I love the SpaceVision pic that's like an attacking microscope!

[What have you actually PLAYED tracker for 2011 (Season 4)]

No comments, felt like playing some Doom on the new couch I put in the game room.

 

Is it comfy?

[How *not* to store your handheld games]

Hey, I can see what they are now! Are they working?

[Sales history of POP Kiosk Control Panels]

It is the awesome Sears one (I love everything Sears!)... but with no idea what's wrong with it, that may be high.

[coolest SHAPED cartridge STYLE of all time]

How could I forget the giant Xonox Vic-20 double enders? (Here's a pic.)

[Funny / Stupid / Crazy / Lame Auction Listings]

Either I'm blind or some bidders are crazy.

[coolest SHAPED cartridge STYLE of all time]

Of 2600 carts, I probably like the Activision ones the best. Of others, I really like N64 carts and 5200 carts, though both should have had end labels.

[5 must have games]

My top 5, some of which haven't been mentioned yet:

 

1. Dark Cavern

2. Pitfall II

3. Spacemaster X-7

4. H.E.R.O.

5. Towering Inferno

[favorite atari artwork]

Haunted House is definitely my favorite. I also really love Marauder.

[Scans For Rom]

I heart V's

Wow, that's quite a deal!
