Mark your calendars!!! Anyone within driving distance to Charlotte, NC I am hosting the first annual good old fashioned Atari BUY/SELL/SWAP/TRADE event!!! Save the eBay fees and shipping headaches. This is my first time organizing an event like this so I'm sure there will be some rough edges. If we have good attendance I would like to make this a yearly event. This first time we will go 90% Atari. If we can't fill the room with Atari then at future events we may include some of the other classic 8Bits. I have a ton of Atari 8bit and Atari ST items that I clean, repair, fully test and sell to pay for my hobby. I will be bringing at least the following items for Sell/Trade: Fully tested/working: 8bit - 400, 800, 600XL, 800XL, XEGS, 1050 drives, IndusGT drives, lots of Atari books, 60+ unique cartridge titles, some software on 5.25" diskette, joysticks, paddle controllers, trak-ball controllers Fully tested/working: 16bit - 520ST, 1040ST, both color and monochrome Atari monitors, mouse, books, some software on 3.5" diskette, 100+ Atari 2600 game cartridges Items that need TLC and/or repairs: Atari ST 3.5" external diskette drives, 410 and 1010 recorders, 1050 drives, IndusGT drives, monitors, joysticks, good outer shells for most A8 and ST units, many parts. If you have an A8 and need a minor repair or an upgrade/mod, PM me and I will let you know if it is something I can do for you (not during the event). I'm sure I am forgetting many items 😁 For show and tell I will have several playable Atari 8bits so the kids and kids at heart can play ATARI !!! I will also have a 4MB Atari STE my recently acquired Atari TT030 up and running. There are already commitments from others who are bringing their Atari items for Sell/Trade. I plan to create an Event on Facebook and will add the link here. I will need 2 or 3 volunteers to help me with setup and take-down (lite clean-up and we must put the tables and chairs back the way we find them, etc.) Expect to pay with Cash or PayPal only. Other sellers may offer more options but those two are it for me 😁 When: Saturday August 5th, 2023 Hours: 10am to 2pm Fees: CASH ONLY $5 admission per individual or family OR $10 per table (with 1 or 2 chairs) if you are bringing items to sell. You must contact me by PM if you wish to have a $10 table as the number of tables is limited. Snacks: CASH ONLY A limited number of sodas, water and packaged snacks will be available for purchase as a nominal fee Location: James B. Crump VFW Post 2423 100 VFW Ln, Indian Trail, NC 28079 Note: the VFW post is in the process of changing the name of their road so you may also see the address as: 100 James Crump Way, Indian Trail, NC 28079 This location is 16 miles from the center of downtown Charlotte and is only 4 miles from the intersect of I-485 and East Independence Blvd (aka Highway 74) Here are pictures of the event space. One showing their recent renovations and one showing the tables and chairs. I believe they are 5 foot tables. Example of the tables/chairs for the sellers. Note: the location of the VFW Hall. It is right next to the Railroad tracks. Lots of parking is available right outside the building.

Hi, I picked up 3 Activision PAL Proto Label games (all working with typed top labels! which is nice) Pitfall II, Pressure Cooker and Robot Tank. Two have the same front label one has the Activision logo on it twice (Pitfall II) which I think is the gem of these Three. Some provenience is that the original owners friend used to work at Activision UK in Slough, Berkshire (Activision Europe Headquarters), were I found them. He was given them in the late 80s with tons of Activision games (so adds up) Plus I know my labels. So these games have only been in the hands of Activation staff members and surfaced from his friends cupboard recently. So none of these have ever been sold at auction or traded. . I didn't quiz the owner on the original owners staff name but works as a programmer today but in Java Script or whatever people use these days. I didn't really want to put too much attention on these, he just called them demos and said they might not work as one or two initially had a black screen when he loaded , so he almost didn't want to take my money but I after cleaning they are now all working (so I took a risk on these). oh and I didn't pay him peanuts for them; unless you call £90 ($150 derisory on untested/assume dead games in a lot). I didn't poach them on eBay the seller ended the auction because the consoles and some of the games were non working so was of course he was surprised when I offered £90 afterwards but I’m fair and not greedy, I'm a collector and Atari fan first! trader second. I have a few collectors names that deal in Protos in Europe so these will be up for trade elsewhere. (If I have no luck on here). I would be looking to trade on rare CIB games to collectors (not traders), a PAL CIB Espial would be nice (god that game is hard to find boxed - please revise rarity AA ; ), lab loaners and anything R7+ CIB or loose rare games and I’m willing to split this lot as I would say these have varied values, Pitfall II being the gem for me although the label is slightly faded on that one, the other Two have excellent labels. I'm not a Proto expert but I’ve collected for many years (historically in the thousands) but have slimmed my collection and I’m moving on to other things non Atari so I don't really need these on my shelf but was great to bring them back to life and to hold them (if only for a while). I'd rather these went to a collector that is as happy as I was to find them. I have a figure in my head on trade value and would prefer Private emails to atariattic@hotmail.co.uk unless your just adding info or being helpful. I've sadly noticed Trolls on Atari Age threads (come on guys really?) must of us are knocking on 40. Well I say "Trolls" but people making unhelpful and contrived comments to poach games or to put down other peoples trade offers. I just put up a trade on a BOMB! CIB "Great Escape" and although its not the ultra rare NTSC version (its rare to find complete even in PAL land) - the first response I got was "your no way going to get a CIB miner II" (that's for the person that might have a Spare Miner II and not have a CIB BOMB with mint cart. I consider that unhelpful advise. Not even a Hello! just "your not going to get what your asking!" I didn't even mention condition as I have not with regards to trades on these. It's up to the people offering trades to decide what they are willing to offer not the people that have nothing helpful to contribute. It's not like CIB BOMB (albeit PAL) is Space Invaders so trample on someone else's thread. Although these are Third-Party Protos, Activision pretty much showed Atari up on many games so it's nice to be holding a Pitfall II Proto which was programming a feat thanks to David Cranes Patented DPC (Display Processor Chip) Which I think was the only game that ever used that specific Indexing chip (not extra RAM or ROM carts; for which there are many) (I'll have to get better at Pitfall II to find out if it's the full version so will have the theme no doubt imbedded in my head for the next few days. I'll try not to have a nervous breakdown (or I could turn the volume down) solved! I'm welcoming helpful advice, trades, ROM identification (not sure these are EPROMS) they feel the same weight as standard carts and it's hard to see the ROM differences without opening them up, which I’m not keen to do but I know some of you might be able to identify the ROM without opening. All the games worked although Pitfall II needed a clean but it loaded after a few attempts, Pressure Cooker Seemed to end early but will try and play them all today but could be final versions, i'm not sure but they do have cat log numbers typed onto the top labels. I'm not claiming these are ultra rare but I think they are seldom found. Antony

Atari 2600 Great Escape by bomb PAL rare trade swap
thechallengeofnexar posted a topic in Atari 2600
Hi, Would anyone like to trade my CIB (PAL) BOMB game "Great Escape" for something rare. I know its not anywhere near as rare as the NTSC version but still very hard to find CIB with mint cart. The cart looks new and the paperwork is 9/10 excellent! comes complete with inner tray (tiny little splits in the corners) the main offender condition wise is the top window panel missing (which is common on these) but the box is very good otherwise with nice corners and no crushing as you can see. I'm looking for boxed CIB Tigervision games Marauder or Miner VOL II or Espial (you never know) some are in Canada but seem like snails teeth these days. I'm open to any loose R7s and i'm valuing my game at £50 CIB (so about 80 bucks) (Loose you can pick some Bomb! carts for £15 in PAL land but CIB "forget about it" Thanks Antony- 15 replies
