For Sale: 2600 Pepsi Invaders

[riffraff]

 

From my personal collection, one of the most famous promotional games ever. I'm offering it here for Atari Age members first. Cart and board are in perfect shape. Asking $1100.

Original or repro? It looks like there's a label holding the two case halves together in your 3rd photo. What does the outside of the case look like?

The game is definitely real. I have seen enough chips including my own to know if it is real or not. Also, if it was a repo why would he sell it for $1,200

 

Also, riffraff is a long time collector. He's a trusted member of the community.

No insults intended but A) the pictures don't show the chip, only the circuit board and shielding, B) I could easily make a fake that looks just like that from those angles -- using certain tiny parts, an inverter that fits under the shielding could be attached to a standard EPROM, and C) I only know a few of the people here, and post counts don't seem to be representative of who is a respected collector, reseller, post-whore or lurker.

It's an original Pepsi Invaders. There is no label on the outside of the cart, no pepsi invaders have labels unless someone put one on after. I did make a handwritten end label that says Coke Wins over 10 years ago so I could easily identify it.

No it is the actual circuit board that is different. I don't think there is a circuit board that is like the Pepsi Invaders circuit board. The person would actually have to make a fake circuit board in order to do this, and that would be a tuff task.

Looks like I'd have "fun" if I wanted to sell mine then... even if I got mine from Marco!

That is definitely true...but yes, the cart is the real deal, as is riffraff (who sold his Video Life about 4 months back).

bump, lowered asking price. If nobody's interested still I'll put it up on ebay.
