    I know this is late but did Swordquest Waterworld complete is sold yet? If not I give what you asked for. If yes do you think the persone who buy it will be willing to sell it to me? This game is the last peace I need to finish my SwordQuest collection.

     

    Waterworld is gone. Sorry I don't recall what I sold it for. $500 or so?

    Dam! this game is so rare. The only 2 that I can found on ebay (yesterday) had shitty seller who don't accept international shipement. The are in US and me in Canada so... so much frustration with those two. I already got ErthWorld factory sealed and an other complete and FireWorld also complete (I do not have a sealed one yet) WaterWorld I the last one I need. I got the money but no body would sell it. I both a empty box of it couple day's ago in case I found all the paper and the game in loos but nothing.

     

    Do any body know were I could get lucky?

     

    It is not that rare. Just keep watching out for it and with some patience you will find one. It may not be cheap but you will find one.

     

    Don't just search ebay. Atari2600.com has the cart for $80.

    I swear you bought my Eli's Ladder from me BuyAtari... am I mistaken, or did you sell it on before getting the docs here? *confused*

     

    Nope I bought at the end of a Philly Classic show from a guy who had a table at the show (where it was on display the entire show) he was not on the internet at the time.

     

    It was near complete (all you see plus cart) and I later sold off the cartridge when I was buying some rental property. I figured it would be much easier to find a loose cart than a copy with paperwork so I kept the paperwork. Now I am looking to raise funds again for another venture and I seriously question if I will ever be in the market for a cart again.

     

    haha I remember that guy!! he had a bunch of really nice boxed games too and I remember him saying that wasn't for sale. and yeah later that day he said he sold it and what he got for it!!! what's funny Buyatari is that next year he showed up again but not as a vender and he pulled out another from his front pocket!!!!! it was cart only and he said he paid $10.00 at a place in Lancaster!!

     

    That was him. Some guys have all the luck.

    The handwritting on both sheets appears to be handwritten not copied. The top sheet looks like it was all done by hand both the color sections and the handwritting notes and has some white out applied in sections. The bottom section looks like it may be a print or mechaniclly created somehow but the notes look to be done by hand. This was what Topps called the final art or the art used to create the card. They kept all the final art in case they ever had to recreate a design and they discarded most of the early stage material. It is possible some of early design material survived somewhere but it is safe to say this is one of a kind as there is only one final art for each card.

     

    Item is on hold pending payment.

    Wouldn't a bank loan be a better way to go? With your $300,000 a year figure, after 5 years you will be paying back $75,000 on a $25,000 loan. That's steep. If sales increase as expected you will be paying much more than that.

     

    edit.

     

    Ok I see it is 25k not 300k not sure why he didn't try this yet.

    The Smithsonian wouldn't buy them and I would guess that the interest they would have would be minimal.

    Well, gee, that's disappointing. There must be somewhere where I can view a pile of EPROMs and masked ROMs for hours on end.

     

    I think there are weekend tours at the CPUwiz house.

    I hope the Smithsonian buys them. I can't afford his auction, but maybe I could scrape up enough cash to see them on display. Here's hoping!!

    Him -> I have these super rare Atari chips with unknown games and history. Do you want them?

    Smithsonian -> Sure if you drop them off we will take a look at them. We can't pay you anything for them but we are open to donations.

     

    him to everyone else -> The Smithsonian WANTS them !! $100,000 !!!!!!!

    It's either that, or the STUPIDIST cover idea for Jungle Hunt! ;)

     

    Yeah it is so strange that they used 2600 Jungle Hunt as the top portion within a 5200 frame. Still it was exciting to see. You know, I can't remember the last time I was excited to see a polaroid photo but I'm thinking high school.....
