    Just got a copy of Tac-Scan in the flip-top box with inst's and the original stickers(did not know it came with the stickers)Got these three 'gems' in the last year-Back to school pak-Action pak-Racing pak.And lastly-got all the CGE2002 releases for the 2600(except for Marble Craze, which I ordered later).I'll take some pics and put em on my pathetic website,for those of you that want 'proof'.

    This does have "made for tv movie" written all over it:

     

     

    So we waltz into this little backwards town, supercharger and cuttle carts in hand,  and the locals look over at us funny, like they've seen more than they care to admit.

     

    Along strolls a gentleman, in his late 90's, and says...."ya ain't from around here, is ya?"

     

    You can't even get a word in edgewise, and he continues...

     

    "bout maybe 6, 7 years ago some fellaz come a strolling in here, saizing they lookin' for long lost treasure, and I say---only treasure i no of is de ol gold mines up there on Potimus Bluff."

     

    "Never did see em young fellaz ever again, some say they went snooping around at The Quarry, but you know what I think happened..."

     

     

    And the story continues, actors include Jean Claude Van Dam as the Sheriff, and Paul Rubins is his sidekick.

     

    Maybe you can use this in the end of the movie--

    They look around and don't see anything--the camera pans back and they are standing on a "hill" of et carts, but do not know it....

    This happened to me years ago when I went to see an native indian settlement in S.F Bay Area.The natives ate a lot of shellfish and the ranger took us to see the mound of shells & I say,'Where the hell is this pile of shells' and the ranger tells me that we were all standing on it....

     

    Long Live the ET Tread!...

    Just to add to your misery--not only are the copyright dates different, but the box art and styles are slightly different too!I did not realize this until I set up another bookcase outside of my closet(yes, I'm running out of room!),and could actually look at the silver label boxes....As for your question--as a collector the variants do matter,for the rest of us that just want a copy of the game to play, it don't matter much.

    I have played this on the 255 multicart I bought at CGE 2002.If this game ain't finished,then how to control the guy is a mystery.I was under the impression that the object is to catch the flame;don't know if ya throw it back or wait for it to burn out?At one point I had the flame the guy was holding spinning around...I'll try it again tonight.

    I have also sent another $100 for copies of Marble Craze(hopefully with tin box),Allia Quest,Gunfight & Asteroids with vector look and driver controller mod.<now I got to go turn some lights off!>(if you think paying utilities is a pain,come move to CA where every other state of the union rips us off!)

    I had a copy of Xevious made from Hozer Vidio.Even though it's only 70% complete, that's better than the alternative(0%).Now that I've read this thread, I'm going to have to plug Xevious in tonight.....

    These homebrews do get confusing;for example, I have 3 copies of Warring Worms--one is 'Baroque Gaming' edition #5 of 50,another one is from the 'Midwest Classic 2002',and the last is #88 from CGE 2002.And then there is the Xype edition games with the label recall/label replacements.Also got a Mr. Roboto cart with the 'midwest classic' title screen.It's cool when the title screen makes the cart unique-letting you know which show it was from.

    Now back to the original topic--I got #50 on Space Treat, but did not pick it up until Sunday at CGE02.It's a great game that picks up speed on level#9(variable speeds on the different objects you must pass)

    Just looked at the 'in development' page here at AA,so not only are there protos, but a lot of original titles everyone is impatiently waiting on.I would personally like to see Klax(ntsc) and Save Mary released in the cool looking boxes;these two also seem to be great games to play.

    Great show!I was pleasantly surprised that there were a lot of the new released games to go around(except for marble craze)I thought for sure that I'd only get one or two of the new 2600 releases,but ended up getting em all!(after a trip to the ATM,of course)As someone else posted here, it was cool to see those rare carts just sitting in cardboard boxes,and it is nice to know that we are dealing with nice,trustworthy people that did not just steal any of em.The Dig Dug drop was scary;only like ten people were on the floor in the middle going thru all the boxes...I think some children were trampled or something;oh well, you win some, ya lose some.

    Besides the show,I went to the strip and rode all but one of the rollercoasters;the best one is on the top of the stratosphere,the wildest one is at NY NY hotel.

    Also went and saw Hoover Dam;it was 'only' 110F in the shade that day...

    And last but not least, I gambled some money away.
