laterza@mindspring.com Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 I just found my "Old" Box of junk...and came across my Atari 5200 stuff. I do not have the system but found a bunch of games, Kangaroo, PacMan, "AtariLab Temperature Module AED80013" and a bunch of Loaner Cartridges from Prototype Lab-Consumer Division-Software Dept... Can anyone tell me what they are - I remember playing them...and I remember who gave them to me - My Aunt worked for Atari - but not sure if this was here in Chicago - Feel free to email or call me - laterza@mindspring.com 847-812-6279 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRetroGamer Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 I just found my "Old" Box of junk...and came across my Atari 5200 stuff.

Can anyone tell me what they are - I remember playing them...and I remember who gave them to me - My Aunt worked for Atari - but not sure if this was here in Chicago - They are just worthless junk - just send them to me and I'll dispose of them properly! Seriously, I think you just "struck gold". Don't jump on any offers before you have a chance to see ALL your options. There are collectors who are VERY interested in those, and you could make a fortune by selling them privately or on EBAY. My fee for this consulting info is only 1 lab loaner cart. Thanks!

+Allan Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 What games are they? The loaner carts were made to give to reviewers and testers on a temporary bases. Many of them never made it back to Atari. They are worth money so congrats. It would be cool if you could do an interview with your aunt to find out what she did at Atari. I'm sure a lot of people on this board would be interested. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laterza@mindspring.com Posted August 17, 2002 Author Share Posted August 17, 2002 Thanks - I will see what they are worth...I have been selling on ebay for a while now...and hope they are worth something...

RangerG Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Hello -- I e-mailed a congrats. So everyone -- what is the temperature cart? That is really cool. Please talk to your aunt about what she did and how she got the carts -- stories are always great and let everyone share in the fun. Take care, RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 I can give you some info on your prototypes: Choplifter 02-29-84 - This is the final version. It is the same as the released game. Pengo Eprom 08-08-83 - This is an early version of Pengo with a few game glitches left in it. Baseball Eprom 07-28-83 - This is the final version. Same as the released game. Pole Position Eprom Cartridge 133 - I'm not 100% sure about this one, but I believe it's the final version. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
