I second Logans Run and The Jerk.("I don't need money,fame,or women, but I need this stapler")There should be a bonus for catching his dog, named 'shithead',because it always ran away from him.
How about Mad Max?A driving screen and a thunderdome screen?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Qb-Special-Edition-Rar...1QQcmdZViewItem
Not my auction and I already have my copy.Pretty cool collectors item with the replacement chip and literature.
-
I'll give a second vote for, Allia Quest.
Alfred Challenge and Power Off are both platform games,but are very "unforgiving" when jumping or using ladders;so they are both good but not excellent.

I can't find a good boxed copy of Tunnel Runner.Got one off of ebay that had writing on it,and was a bit beat up.
Also having a hell of a time finding Beany Bopper,Deadly Duck,Fast Eddie;these games in the box get pretty high in price on ebay,and since I do not sit on the computer trying to win them,I don't have 'em yet.

The arcades died just about the time I(and the rest of the people my age)started high school,bought home game systems or computers,got too lazy to go out/and or did not have the time, had to grow up and get a job.Still enjoyed going to movie theatres arcade every so often,but by then the arcades were gone.As far as the arcade owners being taxed out of business--Imagine that!Typical govt,"Look this is making money ,lets tax it more."Later,"Hey where is our tax base?""Hey, why is our state 200 billion in debt??"
After checking the classic arcade game location list, I found the theatre I use to go to;there are less classic games than the last time I checked
;The slow sad death of the arcade continues... -
I just got a HDTV a few weeks ago, do not see any problems.Maybe I will get one of those s-vidio mods and plug it into the front of the unit,that would probably look even better.
-
Also missing the first newprint edition.Saw it once on ebay,but it sold for over $200!I also got other copies of the AA magazine just to get the complete paper inserts,since I had sent then in to buy games.
-
Great site!
Between this site and one of your competitors site, I will not be using ebay much.Just sick of getting things that look good in the pics, but are crap when I recieve them.
-
I'd pay $85 for it,but maybe $100,just because it is unique.
I like this Anti-Auction that has a price that just keeps getting lower.
-
Cool item.
What about the Phillyclassic edition sitting next to it??
-
I have the silver label games in one plastic box & the red label in another box and the older games in yet a larger box.So, I usually play whichever box I have out that day.
Some days I really like to play the silver labels, because the most arcade conversions are in this lot.
Enjoy

That is a cool site.
What the heck are these titles?;
Hole Hunter
Advertisement Cartridge
Duck Shoot(pal?)
Gran Prix--what is the diff between old and 16k version?
IQ 180-what is the premise?(is my IQ that low?)
Multi-Sprite Demo
SALT Diagnostics(using the 2600 to verify your enemies nuclear missile reductions?)
Virtual Pet

I was going through my Atari 2600 game boxes and some of them still have the price on them, so I thought someone might be interested. Most every game listed below was purchased between 1982 and 1985 and one or two might have been purchased some time in the very late 1980s.
Berzerk $24.97 Hills Department Store (I think we got this within weeks of its release)
That is about what I paid for my copy at a Toys-R-Us, but I pissed the checker off by paying for it with a bag of change.

E.T. - If you thought E.T. was futile before, wait 'til you play the fried version. The only zone that appears is the "Call Elliot" zone, which means you can never summon the mothership, and eventually poor E.T. will die, alone and stranded. Truly heartbreaking.
Not much different than the regular "un-fried" game.
-
It could be worse, the seller could have "really" been in an accident,and shipped the crushed item to you.
-
You should have had the optinon of "both" in the poll.
It is just cool that either one was made at all 25 years later.
-
But a random Pitfall would be impossible to complete, as you couldn't know which tunnels to take and which to avoid, and there isn't enough time to visit more than about 3/4 of the screens (if even that many) by staying above ground.
How about making the map(s) half as big and adding more/different enemies or prizes with the extra program memory.
-
Thanks for the link.I went ahead and ordered it.
-
Me too. I'm kicking myself now - this was still there in the store when I found out about it and I didn't buy. I didn't realize there were only ten.
To sell only "ten" in the store seems 'cruel and unusual' too me.It was just pure luck that I was not too busy the day it was offered and I got my copy ordered.Now we will see a mad dash for the AA store whenever a new product is offered.
-
Between the attorneys,marketers,and translators, instruction booklets are getting more and more useless with time.
But if you do not know where to position the x-box("near a T.V."),then I guess you need to buy this item.
When this seller does not sell this useless booklet, it will go into the garbage where it belongs.
-
$280??!! At least I do not feel too bad about bumping it up to $89.
-
I knew the political comments were in jest and snickered a little bit,but could have done without 'em.It's still a cool "free" publication never the less.

The movie theatre had an arcade room with an I,Robot game languishing in a corner.I played it every time I visited.The game was very "different" in the day;who can forget that creepy eye following your character around.They also had a Qiz game that sat empty;it was just too difficult for most players,but I liked it.
