How about a 2600 DEV unit?i had one right in front of me 2 summers ago,at the thrift shop.I was in my "infancy"

stage if you will at collecting,had no idea what it was.I thought it was crude mod done by a do it yourselfer until i mentioned it here at AA.Ran back to get it,just 20 minutes later,and it was GOOOOOOOOONE! :(

 

I have a proper one of those. Did it look like this?

UM,maybe that was inside of it.It was a whole 2600 console with a toggle switch on the bottom of console and had this green/blue chip socket poking through the corrigated plastic on the top, on the left bottom corner,right in front of the woodgrain.I was told by folks here it was a DEV,dont know squat about them though,but was also told they're quite highly prized for an Atari collector.

meaning is there a rumored game or prototype out there thats extremely sought after but so far nobody has found?

 

There is Swordquest Airworld

 

Also the box to Air Raid by Menavision.

 

These are prabably the most sought after. there is also Space Chase monogrammed

 

There has been a box to Air Raid found. The first Air Raid reported to me for the JerryG Classic Video Game Guide was found by a Mesa, AZ collector in the mid 90's somewhere in the Denver area. It was in a box. I can't for the life of me remember the collector's name but he also found a set of the the NES X-rated games in box at about the same time. Later he moved to Texas and I bought the NES games from him.

 

Since then the boxed game seems to have disappeared along with the collector.

Boxed Air Raid and NES Panesians? Not a bad score.

 

I presume that the box said 'Air Raid' on it?

Did you cite the box yourself Jerry?
