Star Ship - Large Yellow Text

[Star Ship - Large Yellow Text]

It kept the '77 copyright date on it, but the big yellow version was actually released in late '82, thus the holo-sticker you mention.

 

Like you, I'd love to know why Atari did one-off stuff like this that flew in the face of their labeling standards at the time.

[Compiling lists of Atari, Corp. (re-release) label variants]

Need to bump this thread back up!

 

Hey, does anybody out there have a shot of an '86 Star Raiders re-release? The big list of label variations shows it exists, but I've never seen one. Locating one would be easier if I had a pic to go by.

 

Anybody?

[pretty cheap O2 package, but no paypal....]

:!: oh well

 

Guess that shows how hard I've been looking lately.

[pretty cheap O2 package, but no paypal....]

Thanks for the heads up on that - I'd been keen to pick up one sometime if I ever saw one going cheap.

 

This qualifies.

I'd bet anything the next pic label Blackjack that hits ebay will fetch $100+  If crunchy decides to bid it may hit $300+   

 

nyah, nyah - I already got one!

[Whats with the '86's]

Lots of info in the 2600 forum. A very good thread can be found here.

Would he show the rom to Tempest do you think?  I would love to hear his view on it.

So would I. It's supposed to just be Star Ship under a different name, but I can't confirm that as SSK doesn't seem recognize it when he brings it up.

[Extremely Rare Picture Label Sears Superman]

Seems to be - according to him anyway. He also said he ain't selling it yet either.

[Extremely Rare Picture Label Sears Superman]

\o/ Woohoo! Holy grail #1 achieved! Now, if I can just get SSK to part with that Space Mission

 

There's a Tank Plus picture label?

No, no, no - don't even do that!

[Pirates or originals?]

That Lipstick controller was originally released in the US by Access for the C64 game Echelon. All it did was replace the fire button with a microphone. The marketing showed these kids speaking "fire!" into the mic, but in fact, it would respond to any sound that it picked up - it was basically useless. After a time, it was no longer even bundled with the game, as it was never required for gameplay in the first place.

 

I have no idea if it was released elsewhere in the world, or if it was also released as an official 2600 controller. It would certainly work - they have the same pinout, but I don't think they ever pushed an Atari "version". Could be wrong about that though.

 

Can you imagine some kid playing Space Invaders with that thing? "fire . . fire . . fire . . fire . . fire . . fire . . fire . . fire . . fire . . fire . . "

[Sears picture Baseball in this one]

Didn't even notice that MC. It's definately not a Sears label, and not even any Atari label that I've seen (they don't have red text). There's a PAL re-release missing the controler text (I've never seen it though) - maybe it's that.

[Sears picture Baseball in this one]

Not mine.

Don't end it on Sunday.  Middle of the week should do you just fine.

Why not end it Sunday? I always thought that was the best time

 

For whatever reason, stuff that ends on Sunday usually goes cheap. Search the forums & you'll see several threads about with examples.

[Excluding Pac-Man and ET, which is the worst game?]

What's funny is that despite most folks loathing them, ET & Pac-Man are usually the titles sellers will put in the auction description for cartridge lots on Ebay that contain them.

[Pictures on eBay Question]

For the most part, for me, no pictures or stock pictures = no interest & no bid.

[Which of the "Holy Grail" games you want the most?]

Other than what was discussed in that auction thread, no. You had that email from the seller & it all seemed legit enough to me. I really doubt it's some elaborate homemade fake, as too few people ever knew anything about it. If it were a deliberate deception, they would've pimped the "ooo, ahh - ultra rare [email protected]@@k!!" in the auction for all it was worth. SSK won it & I've emailed him about it, so maybe we'll get some answers.

[Which of the "Holy Grail" games you want the most?]

I still can't believe I missed that auction.

 

Same here

[North America version of IKARI WARRIORS its now $5]

Perhaps the "new" sticker was on some of each.

[North America version of IKARI WARRIORS its now $5]

What about the yellow "New" sticker on the box. I remember reading somewhere that PAL games came without one, and that NTSC versions had one? Or did that turn out to be false information?

For what it's worth, the PAL box scan here on AA does not have the "new" on it, so that might back this statement up, assuming the box scan is correct.
