Post your UNIQUE ATari 2600 item!


Marco

It's more than that, it has some kind of educational goal, kids get to learn a bit about 22 animals.

 

The tape that I have is the only one that I know of. It came from Australia, but I have no idea whether it was a pack-in or whether it was bought separately. I just don't understand why there's only one so far...

 

Cheers,

Marco

Hi Marco

is it possible to post the tape file?

greetings Walter

Oops, how would I do that?

 

(remember, I'm a-technical)

 

Cheers,

Marco

Send it to me. I'll post it and eventually at some point in time, send the tape back to you :D

 

Or, alternatively, put the tape in a tapedeck, connect that to your PC's soundcard and record the sound to a .WAV file. (I would stay clear of lossy compression like .MP3 just in case).

Mm, I don't want to be the one that keeps his own thread going, but I found another nice item, while going through all my boxes in search of another item I'm dying to find:

 

 

 

So, who's the first to book a plane to Taipei? :cool:

 

Cheers,

Marco

Marco, I'm glad you did post these. I didn't know you had the boxes too. Does it say Puzzy on the screen? Could AMPCO be the parent company that produced these, or just the company that distributed these? I wonder if these were just lent to AMPCO to try out? I'd love a rom dump. When are you moving to Canada? :cool:

Here are a few other little odds & ends I have laying around:

 

1) All 3 swordquest Atari club T-shirts and 2 contest forms for each framed.

 

2) A Trix cereal box Atari 2600 give away contest.

 

3) 2 different after market Atari 2600 tables.

 

4) a Boxed copy of Missile Command from Polyvox.

All that stuff is amazing! I love that Missile Command box.

Here is something that has been sitting in the back of my display case, its a 1983 coke can that had an Atari prize contest, once you poped the top you would look down inside the bottom of the can to see if you won a 2600, or 800 computer, or 2600 game, or a coke t-shirt.

 

:) :) :)

I guess these would be kind of unique. I don't think there are a whole lot of them out there at least. High Quality reproductions of course which is the closet my wallet can get to owning these :)

Very nice, Climber! I have seen the repo boxes for sale myself, but is the Video Life real? I only have one repo Commavid myself (the rest of my Commavids are real) made by some great guy:

No the cart is a reproduction as well. On the bottom of the label it says it but I cut it out when I took the picture so I could have a little fun at Decyphers expense :D I don't think he fell for it though. I think it might be the only one or one of very few exact reproductions, I know there are quite a few of the 2 in 1 (Magicard/Video Life) dip switch carts out there but this is the only one of these that I know of. I think they are kind of a bitch to make. I think it looks super cool in my collection next to all my other stuff, I wouldn't even want an actual one, I would get to nervous with something that valuble in my collection :)

Nope didnt fall for it. Well maybe like 2secs. Then I figured that if you already had it I would have bought it months ago. LOL

How about this weird X-Man i once found? Seems to be either a proto or some pre-production / engineering sample

Complete boxed PAL Custer's Revenge (cart and box are slightly different from NTSC version). Don't know of anyone else who also owns this.

"These"?

 

Well, if they look exactly like this one (with the small P on the label):

then not anymore, I guess...

Hi everyone! First time posting on AtariAge - I discovered the site when Kotaku ran an article on Adventure II (bought no. 243). Not a collector, more a retro gamer with fond memories of the VCS - I sold of most of my games a long time ago but my mother still has my original PAL Ingersoll/Atari 6-switch Woody with an interesting item - an original Atari Club dust cover made from dark blue heavy cotton/canvas with rubberised white ink for the Atari logo. If anyone's interested I'll take a picture and post it here. I also have a number of the old Atari Club newsletters in mint condition (again, if you're interested let me know and I'll post some pics) :)
