  1. I don't collect NES and it is time to clear out some of my stash. I may put it on Ebay, however, I post here to see what type of offers I will get. I would like to sell as a lot. Keep in mind shipping will be expensive because it is quite heavy. I live in Massachusetts and would consider meeting someone or delivering to avoid shipping. None of the games have been tested because I don't have a system. Please feel free to e-mail me. Thanks.

  2. Is the Tanman Air Raid box really a one-of-a-kind rarity? I don't think so.

     

    As a former owner of the highly coveted Air Raid game, I thought I'd chime in on what I know about it. I found my copy of Air Raid in 1999 or thereabouts. At that time, I was very interested in the history of the game because, even more so then than now, virtually nothing was known about it. And I love a good mystery. Here is what I found:

     

    Shortly after my find (c. 1999), I scoured the Internet and dug through old usenet posts for anything I could find out about Air Raid. I wasn't even sure if that was the actual name of the game because the label has no text on it to identify its title, nor is the title mentioned in the game itself. Eventually, I discovered a post that was written by Terry Rutt in the late 1980's (or maybe it was the early 1990's) in which he talks of finding a blue T-handled game called Air Raid by Men-A-Vision. The thread sparked little interest among subscribers, because at that time, the game itself was so rare nobody knew what he was talking about. One very cool thing about his post, though, was that he mentioned "Men-A-Vision". Men-A-Vision is indeed the name that appeared on the game start-up screen when I popped my blue T-handeld find into my Atari VCS. So, I knew then that Terry Rutt must have known what he was talking about. The label artwork suggests Air Raid is a plausible title for the game, but I wanted to be sure. I wondered how Terry Rutt knew the title of the game. The other very cool thing about Mr. Rutt's usenet post was that he included his e-mail address at the end of the post.

     

    I sent him an e-mail right away, asking him how he knew the title of the game was Air Raid. I was surprised the e-mail address was still valid, and I was even more surprised to receive his response to my e-mail a few days later.

     

    He told me he knew the game was called Air Raid because he had found not only the game cartridge but the original manufacturer's box as well, and the game title "Air Raid" was printed on the box.

     

    I begged him to make a scan of his Air Raid box, for the benefit of my own selfish curiosity and for the benefit of the collecting hobby at large. He said he would, if he could locate the box. He told me that locating the box would be difficult, however, because in the years that had elapsed since making his usenet post he had dropped off the map as far as active video game collecting goes, he had since moved to another state, and his collection was scattered about in unmarked boxes in his garage and other locales. He had a good job and a busy life, and fiddling with the old video game collection just wasn't a priority for him. But he did promise to look for the Air Raid box in his spare time and make a scan of it for me when he located it. I sent him monthly e-mail reminders for over a year, but he never found his box. Eventually, he stopped returning my e-mail enquiries and I gave up on asking him.

     

    Ten years later, a legitimate sample of the Air Raid box has finally surfaced. This is cool. Really cool. A decades old mystery has finally been put to rest. The title of the mysterious blue T-handled game is indeed Air Raid, beyond all doubt. The title EXACTLY matches the title espoused by Terry Rutt 10 years ago.

     

    Confirmation of the title begs the question: How did Terry Rutt KNOW the title of the game was Air Raid? Was it a lucky guess? Or, does present-day confirmation of the game's title lend significant credibility to Terry Rutt's claim that he "knew the game was called Air Raid because I [Rutt] have the box and the title is printed on the box."?

     

    I believe Terry Rutt has a copy of the Air Raid game and box. And I believe it is only a matter of time until his copy of it finally surfaces. A high profile auction like Tanman's is just the thing to motivate Terry Rutt to go looking for his copy of the game.

  5. I have a Gameboy Nintendo DS Lite Black Onyx still with original box in good condition. My son has had it for about a year and I guess he wants to move on. It has a nice Ninetendo case and the ac charger as well.

     

    It comes with 6 good DS lite games 5 come with cases and 4 instructions.

     

    I am asking 165 or best offer. This will make someone pretty happy because just the games alone if you were to purchase seperately say at Gamestop would be over $100. He may have another game to throw in if we can find it. Thanks for looking

  7. Just to add a little interest to the Air Raid Men-A-Vision discussion. I firmly believe that it is from Latin America. I lived in South America and the name sounds like Spanglish and the cart even resembles other t-tops from Latin America. Also, check out this list of other Atari companies/products from Brazil/Latin America. Coincidence?

     

    Splice Vision

    Digivision

    Argevision

    Data Vision

    Wide Vision

    Conectivision

    Cosmivision

    Softvision

    Dinamivision

     

    Feel free to add more support to the claim.

     

    Take care.

     

    True, but to date, all of the Air Raids have been found in the US. Top Brazilian collectors (Atari 2600) have never seen this game let alone this type of shell....it is unique. Another thing, games like from the Ultravision family (t-bar carts) were made in the US- Miami to be exact. So, the games being discovered in the US and no Brazilian collector has seen them in Brazil makes the above theory suspect.......my two cents..... :cool:
