gamecrawler Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I am offering up to any serious 2600 collector my only GAMMA-ATTACK assembly source code listing. This was printed in 1982 on a ASR33 TeleType hooked to my Apple II Plus development system. It is yellowed and showing 26+ years of age. (Photo attached.) This is my history & shows how hard it was to develop a game back then. I'm asking $6000.00 for it. Please contact me thru PM with any serious offers. and Happy Holidays to All :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recession be damned, eh? Wowza, that's the priciest thing I've ever seen on this site! I honestly have no idea of what this could actually be worth, though.

homerwannabee Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 This is one of those, its worth what someone is willing to pay for it. So if you get $6,000 for it than I suppose it's worth $6,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djpubba Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 How do we know for sure you didn't print that on old paper just today? Plus a friend of my brothers gym teacher's hairdresser told me you bought some teletype ink ribbons five weeks ago so this looks really fishy. Plus I have an original teletype printout of your game that I got at a garage sale in 1983 and it's a totally different font. The jig is up old man. Why don't you tell us the real story. Sorry my bad humor got the best of me. Good luck with the sale! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmel_andrews Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 now perhaps someone can sell up the print source code for SR on the A8 (or the source code on a disk) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jahfish Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I honestly have no idea of what this could actually be worth, though. paper: 1.20$ ink: 78 cents How do we know for sure you didn't print that on old paper just today?

Why don't you tell us the real story. bad humor is probably the only reasonable reaction to this Ka-jing! Recession be damned, eh? Wowza, that's the priciest thing I've ever seen on this site! i think so ... even Atari's prototype consoles went for less than that ... even the mindlink prototype i think (?) if you would have left out the asking price, this whole sale would have had a way more reasonable start ... you should rather sell single sheets like Best Electronics is selling their original microfiches ...

Keatah Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 To price something such as a programming listing at $6,000.00 must indicate it means a lot to you. A piece of your personal history. I would not sell this. Hang on to it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang on to it! it's quite amazing how much confusion that initial 500.000$ gamma attack listing on ebay has created Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not sell this. Hang on to it! Not being a 2600 collector I don't think he has any idea how desirable things are or how much the market might bear. I would think in this case he is just playing it safe. You price it high and come down as needed to market price. If you price it too low right off the bat someone buys it at a bargin and that is it. You can go down but not up. I have my own ideas but I'm not really sure what the market will bear on something like this. I do have a feeling we will all be finding out shortly.

Crazy Climber Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 This is a niche item, that can be good and bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Honestly I'd be surprised if it sold for anywhere near that much. $1000 or so is much more reasonable. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing wrong with asking for a high price and then settling for the highest offer. This may be a "niche" item, but it is a one-of-a-kind and I personally wouldn't let this go cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
