doctorclu Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 This has been a fun ride seeing all this stuff for the Atari 2600. As for me, some of the more uniquish stuff I have would be some various stuff we dug out of the Atari service center dumpster, the Phaser Patrol and the loader with that, the Sears equivalent of a 3600, one of the silver Atari Jackets.. or two. What else? Mainly my Atari 2600 collection is about the text labels.. the early stuff and the sears labels. The Atari Force mini comics were also fun, along with Swordquest comics and the Centipede comics. It really was a diverse system in add ons and marketing wasn't it? And while I never got the Activision patches, it was LOADS of fun competing and getting one of the fifty "StarFire" patches here on Atari Age. Not originally released by Atari but worthwhile to mention that our family has that dad did: 1) Static Ram cart that would load 2600 images from a Sol Terminal 20 (this was back in the 80's) 2) We had a sit down pong table with a Atari 2600 in it. Any pictures?? Cheers, Marco Used to, which has me puzzled right now. Will see what I can do about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jek Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hi guys, this IS unique without doubt. The original(!) drawing of page 20 from Atari Force 2. I own the complete original artwork from the first two Atari Force comic books. Greetings Jens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffraff Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 CPUWIZ showed a backgammon box layout thing (nicely framed btw). Here's some of the same kind of stuff that I got from Best Electronics. I have hundreds of the slides and larger transparencies (5x4) and if anyone's interested in some of these, I will bring them to the CGE. Anyways there are lots of large images here, browse at your leisure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) You can't really see the slides unless you look very close. You get the idea tho... Edited March 22, 2007 by riffraff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Mmmm... doesn't that last one (with the boy and the centipede) appear on certain pirate games?? Cheers, Marco PS: yes, this adds to the theory of Atari being into "pirating" itself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yeah I noticed looking at it that I took that one backwards too. I should really set up a backlight board to show these off better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassidy Nolen Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Wow, that Adventure silver box flat is amazing. I would love that framed on my wall, seriously. What did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking? Of course I know it is not nearly what it is now worth. That is unbelieveably rare.

Cassidy Wasn't much - he was selling all the slides and the 5x4 transparencies for $1 each if I remember right. On the manual layouts it was probably $3-$5. It was first come, first serve and I was the 2nd person to look over the stuff. I basically sat in the Best office for an hour picking stuff out until I was satisfied. The Adventurer manual layout is probably the coolest of em all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmips Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 What's JW PONG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaga_Freak Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 What's JW PONG? That's the game I wrote a couple of years ago. I wanted to produce something that only I would own, so I only made one copy. Its basically pong, but it uses my initials (J W) as the paddles.

keilbaca Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Prototype Game Selex. Unfortunately it didn't make it here from Texas to PA in one piece Stupid government movers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaga_Freak Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 What's the story behind this silver box? Was it ever officially released? AFAIK no, it was not released, the date on it is 1984. My "released" stargate has a date of 1987, 1988 for Defender II. I can't really speak to its origin, I bought it off CPUWIZ, I do know its not one of his "works of art" tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
