[Atari 2600 Ringtones?]

Xingtone is supposed to create ringtones from any uncompressed or mp3/wma audio source. Might be worth a try.

[Taito Games on the 2600...]

Double Dragon was a Taito arcade release, originally developed by Technos. That's the only other one I found in the KLOV that's not listed here already.

[Need help for Canadian shipping to USA]

If I don't count that guy from Canada that took 5 months, the overall average for stuff to me from Canada is usually about 2 weeks. Strangely enough, cartridges from the UK tend to arrive quicker.

[2600 Ads on G4?]

[for those with a plastic fetish....]

All right! Now all I gotta do is shrinkwrap my TV and I can finally go game out in the rain, as we've all secretly always wanted to do!

[What is it with games based on movies?]

Riddick:EFBB is the only game based on film yet that hasn't sucked IMO.

[Music in 2600 Games]

. . . hello . . . Mcfly . . .

 

Moon Patrol?

[so no one wanted the $16 silver gravitar...]

:bleh: That thing looks like it's been laying somebody's backyard all this time.

[23 days later and still no item]

Yeah, this guy is just a deadbeat, that's all. I harassed him with emails every few days over this mess with no reply. But then I did a little snooping and I think I found an address for him. I reported him to the IFCC, then told him about it, and that I was also gonna look him up (I was going to be in Toronto on other business anyway). The package I got was posted the day after that email.

[23 days later and still no item]

I feel for ya.  It's looking like I got screwed on this deal: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=8182950665

Coming up on 3 months and still nothing.  He went NARU not long after I won the auction.  I got an email from him on May 10th apologizing for the delay and that he would ship that week.   

 

 

 

Well, coming up on 5 months and the deadbeat actually came through - I received these items today!

 

Musta used Santa Claus express or something.

[How Hard Is It To Find 2600 Stuff In Your Area?]

Virtually nothing here in southwest VA. I came across a few commons at a flea market last year, but that's all I've seen.

 

It's pretty much ebay or nuthin' for me

[Pirates or originals?]

I have the Digimax Baja Buggies. It's a pirate of Zimag's Cosmic Corridor.

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

1987 Basketball with an orange background similar to Breakout.

1986 Flag Capture and Fun with Numbers with controller info on the END labels.

 

Ok, that's just wierd! I'd like to see 'em though.

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

But it's far from complete.

[Atari 2600 cart Space Mission?]

Not sure. I got that pic from this interview with Bob Whitehead, but it doesn't specify where it came from. I know the b&w one is from Popular Mechanics though (this one might be as well for all I know)

[Atari 2600 cart Space Mission?]

Here's a better one I just found. Notice there's no number on this one.

 

[Atari 2600 cart Space Mission?]

It's actually the original name for Star Ship.

 

Here's that ad:

 

[Atari 2600 cart Space Mission?]

:!: :!: :!:

Dear God!! That actually exists???

 

I've always thought it was an advertising prop, as it has only ever been seen (to my knowledge) in a 1977 Popular Mechanics ad.

 

Makes me wonder now about that black label Crazy Cliumber in Atari Age v1#5 that was also thought to be just an advertising prop.

['86 code breaker re-release in this lot]

Yeah, it did. But there's two giveaways for the '86 version:

 

"code breaker" is two words instead of one, and the picture is reversed - the guy is looking right instead of left.

 

:edit: - too slow

['86 code breaker re-release in this lot]

These are hard to come by.

[Is River Patrol really that rare?]

Jeez...Who needs to see a picture of Air Sea Battle???

 

Well, if I'm looking for a specific label varion, I do! In that respect, some of these commons deserve pictures more than a River Patrol does IMO.

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

I have these to add:

 

'86 3-D Tic Tac Toe (paddle misprint) - or did you mean to already have this one in the list? (you have the omitted '86 listed twice)

'88 Canyon Bomber (omitted)

'86 Defender (light blue background - PAL only)

'86 Night Driver (correct - red text)

'88 Super Breakout (omitted)

 

I'm glad you're doing this - I didn't know there was an omitted Yars' Revenge.

 

Planning to do the gray re-releases as well?

[round green sticker on cart labels?]

Ah, right - that's what it was.
