    Just out of curiosity, does anybody know for sure what the last "Atari, Inc." label was in 1984 before they changed to "Atari Corp."?

     

    The only Atari titles to debut in 1984 were:

     

    Crystal Castles

    Gremlins

    Millipede

    Pengo

    Rubik's Cube

    Stargate

    Track & Field

     

    Track & Field is out right away - it came out in '84, but with a "Corp." label (I suppose the very first of that style, perhaps the reason for the funny label) Rubik's Cube probably should also be tossed, as it was just a re-packaged Atari Video Cube from '82 (although it could still have been the last "Inc." label) The rest were all original releases in '84 with "Inc" labels. Now, Stargate was the first of these to get a "Corp." re-release in '85, so perhaps it might have been released early in '84, but that's just speculation on my part.

     

    So, is there any evidence of which one was the last, or do you suppose they were all shoved out the door at the same time?

    Yup, another Brazilian pirate. Atariguide lists 10: Decathlon, Enduro, Football, Frogger, Pac-Man, River Riad, Sea Quest, Smurf:RIGC, Tennis & Zaxxon. No doubt there are likely more, but that's all I'm aware of. Tom would probably know more about them than I do.

    I would say cut down on what ever you are smoking if you think that she looks like Carrie Fisher :D

    Yeah, I know it's an old list - I have a ton that aren't listed there. Still, if they were put up at one point, they either exist or were a typo at that time.

     

    I figure the question marks are on the list were because they were uncertain if there was a "6-" prefix on the label or not or not. And I'm betting the Math variation does exist, as there are several other examples of that prefix added to an existing number. The blackjack, however, is a completely different number, and therefore has me stumped.

     

    Anyway, thanks for the confirmation on the Space Combat!

    There are some strange Sears labels listed in the BLOLV that I was wondering if anyone here could confirm the existence of:

     

    Backgammon text ?-99848

    Blackjack picture 49-75181

    Math text 6-99808

    Space Combat text 99803

    Superman text ?-99845

    Video Chess text ?-99817

     

    I'm pretty much done with all known Sears variations, save these and a couple more. If they're just mistakes in the list, I'd like to know so I can stop pulling my hair out looking for them! :)

    I've had it with Ebay.  I won two items from someone (not VG related).  6 HOURS after I won, I received an email from the seller threatening NPB and a negative if I don't pay immediately.  I sent the seller a nice long email letting him know where he can shove the items and reported him to Ebay.  That's it.  I'm closing my Ebay account as soon as the remaining items I'm waiting for have arrived.  I'm done with Ebay for good. :x

    How is that Ebay's fault? :ponder:

    Won a cheap auction for one cartridge a little while back. Got it in the mail today and what did I find stuck to the inside of the manual? One of those little joystick hex disks from an original sixer - and a Sears one at that! :cool:

     

    And I never get lucky with such stuff! Muwaahaahaa!!

    Dude is out of his mind! $110 for a 4-switch? :lolblue: :dunce: And not even a single picture either! :roll:

     

    I sold a lot some time back three times that size that went for less than half that starting price, and I was surprised it went as high as it did.

     

    If anybody pays his price for that lot they deserve to be taken!
