Huh... okay -- thanks!

Has anyone ever gotten to the end of Rescue Terra I? It's a pretty tough game, and seems to have an ending. There are no videos of it on youtube... does anyone know what happens when you beat it?

Wow! That's great! According to the manual, that makes them "Super Sicilian Gourmets"

I've been using the holiday break to play some rare games I never spent much time with. One I've been playing is Mangia, which is surprisingly challenging and fun. But there is one thing I don't understand about it. WHAT IS THAT RINGING NOISE? It sounds like a bell, or a telephone, or something, but it seems to be completely random, and not tied to any game events. The manual makes no mention of it. It is a random duration, and seems to happen at random times. It does not seem to be caused by the pets, by the Mom, or by anything else in the game. And it is SO ANNOYING. Does anyone know what causes it? Related question -- the highest score I found doing a quick web search is 1,642 listed on highscores.com, and I'm pretty sure I could do better than that. The manual says if you get 2,500 points, you are a member of the "Order of the Red Checkered Tablecloth." Has anyone made it that far?

Thanks! I did buy one of the comics on eBay -- it's silly fun, and has a great full page ad for the Atari game.

Something I've been wondering about is the relationship between the M-Network Atari 2600 Kool-Aid Man game, and the DC Kool-Aid Man comics. Some ebay listers, like say, here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-2600-Complete-Kool-Aid-Man-Atari-2600-Video-Game-System-1-Comic-Book-XFD/292271222585 imply that one or more Kool-Aid Man comics came with the game. I'm skeptical about this for two reasons. First, the box doesn't mention it, and second, I don't think the comics would fit in the box, unless they were mini-comics, and I don't think these were? Do any diehard CIB collectors know the truth on this?

It's weird to me that someone would go through all the trouble to make a repro, and get something as basic as this wrong. Anyway, thanks!

I know that some carts have multiple labels, and wondered if maybe this was a legit alternate, because the seller seems pretty reputable. Glad to know that it isn't!

I've been hunting for a copy of Quadrun for my collection, and found this one on eBay... http://www.ebay.com/itm/QUADRUN-Atari-2600-Game-Very-Rare-Authentic-/311968497661 It claims authenticity, but the font on the cartridge label does not seem like the pics I've seen of the game. Does anyone have opinions about whether this is an original cart?
