rainbow Fuji shirt (Wal-Mart)

[rainbow Fuji shirt (Wal-Mart)]

I was thinking more 2600 Centipede myself, but now that you mention the 5200, I can see that.

 

[rainbow Fuji shirt (Wal-Mart)]

Over in another post, I mentioned the Rampage and Joust shirts at Wal-Mart, and this Atari one was between the two stacks. I suspect a Ready Player One tie-in.

 

($7.50 for the shirt, sizes S-3XL)

 

 

[new Rampage and Joust shirts (Wal-Mart)]

Back where they have the licensed t-shirts ($7.50 a shirt no matter what the size, S-3XL) in Wal-Mart, I saw several new stacks including Rampage (prompted by the new (very loosely) adapted movie) and Joust (prompted by the tie-in with Ready Player One):

 

 

 

 

[Todd Rogers Signed Dragster Cartridge Goes for $830 - New Twist]

I had sexy times in Berlin.

[Something random from my collection.]

Damn cheap glue. I wonder where it was sourced. Did someone decide to press the cheap button and save pennies per cart? The mysteries of video game history abound.

[You ever look at the rocket exhaust plume on the Combat box...]

...and think that the box is ripped/damaged there?

[Activision Patches Question]

Sell them individually here, or at least the rarer ones, and then you can put the commons together in a small lot if you feel like doing a bit less work.

[Opening 20th Century Fox Boxes]

So what's the super secret method for opening up TCF boxes without damaging the little cardboard tab that goes over the tray that slides out? I got a few in super nice condition, but I have no idea how to open them without ripping that tab. It must be possible since they don't have the carts in them, yet that tab is intact.

 

 

Open them from the other side (spine).

[Mail Call - Do I Open It?]

Given the condition of the box, I'd open it.

[Activision Socks (Pitfall, Megamania, Kaboom, Freeway, Barnstorming)]

I wish they had these socks for giants. There is no way in hell those will fit on my size 14 feet

 

Sadly, these are only for size 10-13.

[Activision Socks (Pitfall, Megamania, Kaboom, Freeway, Barnstorming)]

I'll go back to Wal-Mart tomorrow and see if any are left. If anyone wants a set, I'll mail it to you for actual cost + actual postage. Merry Christmas.

[Activision Socks (Pitfall, Megamania, Kaboom, Freeway, Barnstorming)]

Cool. Did they have different combinations or were all the packages the same?

 

All the packages I saw were the same.

I picked up this 5 pack recently from Wal-Mart (under $7). Makes a great stocking stuffer for the Atari enthusiast this holiday season.

Cool video! While we live in an age of easy reproduction (of all media), it's great to see the original art preserved.

Coding to the Metal will be the name of my band's next awesome record.

This is a great movie for Holloween:

 

[Did you get NTSC Ikari Warriors when it was new?]

My copy came from the great South American find of the early 21st century. The box has a manufacture date of 10/1990 as does the manual. The back of the box is stamped copyright 1990, Atari Corporation. Interestingly, the cartridge has copyright 1989.

Anyone else getting tired of all the threads people create telling us what they are tired of?

[Activision Patch Measurements]

Sorry, that is the letter for one million points, which I already have. We are all looking for the letter for one hundred thousand points. Who has one? Anyone?

 

Oops, sorry, didn't read it closely enough. Of course Atarimania already has a scan of the 100,000 point letter - http://www.atarimania.com/2600/boxes/hi_res/laser_blast_i_8.jpg- and Rom Hunter knows that, but your auctions don't include the original letters, just "a Modern SCANNED COLOR COPY of the original letter from Activision"

Still no Laser Blast 100,000 points letter?

 

Must be one of the rarest Activision patch letters ever.
