Apologies if this topic has already been discussed, I've tried going through a few different threads but things got a little confusing. I'm trying to determine which box art style came first. Take Moon Patrol for instance; There are at least 3 different box art styles for this game - One red, one silver (matching the style of other similar Atari boxes), and a second silver with its own full-cover sized artwork. The release dates are one thing, but then they could be NTSC/PAL boxes which brings in an entirely different question. Does anyone know the order in which these were released? Thanks in advance!

Some members suggested that I start a separate thread for the RAIN OF TERROR high score challenge so they could post their high scores directly in the thread. So here you go. The challenge is still going at this time... Now through November 6th, the person with the highest score on RAIN OF TERROR will receive the very first physical/box version of the game!! Including… · Numbered RAIN OF TERROR box – ( serial number 0001 ) · Labeled 5 ¼ program diskette · Full color manual And as a special BONUS… ( since this is a paddle controller game after all )… the winner will also receive an actual set of Atari Paddle controllers!! (don’t worry, shipping is on us too) Of course you can play on actual Atari hardware or on an emulator ( capturing the mouse as paddle controller works great on Altirra and Atari800win), but we do want a screen shot or digital picture of your best score either way! Please post your high score here (or you can PM me with it if you don't want to post it for some reason) including screen shot or digital picture by end of November 6th. Note that there is also a similar thread on ABBUC website here. http://www.abbuc.de/community/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9004 You can post either here on Atariage or on the ABBUC thread ( or both !), I will monitor responses on both sites. GOOD LUCK !!

Maybe I have missed the answer to this question. I've looked through the old threads about who did Atari 2600 box artwork, and of course the Art of Atari book thread (which will answer most of the questions anyone has ever had about Atari's art and artists), but does anyone know who created the box art for the first wave of Activision games for the Atari 2600? I'm asking about the artworks with the bold and simplistic line art, the bright solid colors, the rainbow motion stripes, etc. Perhaps they were the work of a single artist, or perhaps the style was art-directed with multiple artists employed. Do we know who did the art, who was art director or packaging designer, who designed the Activision logo, etc.? The only bit of knowledge I have is that the typeface used on those designs looks to be Futura Bold (or some similar weight of Futura). Any info, or pointers to existing forum threads or external sources of information, is very appreciated!

Hello, I'm hoping this is the right section because I found this little interesting thing that I think is for TI computers, and I'd like a little info on it. Here's a picture... I am under the impression that this is an adapter for TI computers, and looking for a little backup on that. From what I can tell, it looks like all it does is pull some pins from each controller and route them to other pins in a different, combined configuration. Not owning a TI computer, I'm not sure it has any use to me. I might sell it, but with something this old and dirty who knows if it works. I'd appreciate any info on this thing so I can make a more educated decision, and I'd really like to know if there's any way to safely test this thing, see if it's still working. I had a thought to test it on an Atari 2600, but I wouldn't want to risk shorting anything unless I was certain it would be harmless.

This has to be one of the best looking boxed copies of Tower of Doom I have ever seen. I picked this up in a local Game Exchange for 65 dollars. I know this goes for about that price on EBay but none of them have ever seem as in good shape as this one. Being in disbelief I had to do a search to see if there were ever any reproductions made of this and I was never able to find one. It seems legit but its hard to believe. Here are some of the pictures and a link to more photos. Your thoughts? http://s1164.photobucket.com/user/Coldheat007/slideshow/Retro

Combat was the pack-in for the Atari VCS. Did the game come as cart only or was it complete in its own box as if it were a retail release?

Atarileaf asked this question and I thought it was a cool question so I did a video response on it. I would love to hear everyone else's answers on the question. The games don't haft to be for the Colecovision but since the Colecovision should be everyone here's favorite system I figure it will be mostly all Colecovision games here. You don't haft to do a video response you can just post the answers here. I would love to see pictures or video responses as those are the most fun to see. ****Remember you must have the cart only in your collection for it to be "wished" to turn into a CIB(Complete In Box).**** Here is my 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r5YxvqGnfE&feature=youtu.be -
Recently, I picked up a boxed but incomplete Sears Video Arcade 4-switch. But I need to get a cardboard insert for it. I guess it's the same insert as a regular Atari 2600 4-switch insert? I'm also looking for a box, insert, manual for my Sears Super Video Arcade (Intellivision). If anyone can help me out, it'd be much appreciated. I can do cash via Paypal, or trades.

Hello there everyone... Because this is my first time posting here at Atari Age, I'd like to say hello to everyone out there in Atari Land. I'm looking for some help on this one. I found this at a local thrift shop and knew I wanted it. When I found this I was super stoked because of the box and included games. Although, I'm not sure how to get it to work. I bought a RCA Jack to F Plug adapter but nothing.... I'm not sure what region this system is from or what the heck is going on. If someone could help out with understand how to hook it up to a regular North American TV that would be great. I tried to include pictures of the connections as best I could. Also, I know the box is in crappy condition, but does anyone know the approx value of what I've got here? Games included... Winter Games is in the yellow box.... Any help would be greatly appreciated from one gamer to another. Thanks!

Perhaps my favorite Atari 2600 game. I got it new in the box and...it didn't stay in the box when I got it. It has the game, the manual, the comic, and an Atari catalog from 1981.© Retro Indie Gamer 2013

I actually play my games, so I need to open the boxes from time-to-time. Opening these thin cardboard boxes without bending the lid a little bit doesn't seem to be my forte. It also isn't too difficult to put wear on the tabs under the lid. Are there any techniques you guys use to open the boxes without putting any noticeable wear on them?
