Dane Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) I found the remaining two God damn it! For those of you who reside in Australia you will know the Gametraders stores, (I think there are about 40 of them nation-wide). I decided to email them ALL this morning to ask if they had the remaining two games I needed and the Highpoint store in Victoria (which is about 1730km from my home lol), had them both. Needless to say I paid via paypal and the guy said he would post them as soon as the payment went through. He described the Riddle of the Sphinx with a pink label and all the correct details for both, and Seaquest is CIB! Which is what I needed of course.

iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Do you have the Pitfall II HES release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Do you have the Pitfall II HES release? I do but only a loose cart, I guess I should add it to my list but I wasn't sure if it is H.E.S. for sure as the cart doesn't say H.E.S.,(which I know is normal). Plus I have NEVER seen a photo of the case before, has anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping if I ignored it, it would seise to exist, and I wouldn't have to bother finding it. Oh well, I can at least say I own them all now but just need the Pitfall II case. Hey, I know the whereabouts of two more HES Pitfall II loose carts which I am able to get a hold of, if anyone really wants a loose cart of it.

Dane Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 For the last two days I have spent about an hour or so each day phoning various second hand shops around the country and have found 4 more HES Pitfall II carts but no case. On a positive note though, I did find one more cardboard box release this morning (Star Voyager CIB), so that's one more of those bastards ticked off the list.

I have never seen a single Star Voyager in cardboard box, only in a cardboard blister, in the 2pak cardboard and in the 2pak plastic case. I'm very interested in some more details. Yes single release in it's own cardboard box, I do have Star Warrior in it's own cardboard box also. Atari-Mania lists this as a single HES release in a cardboard box. The store I spoke to said their copy was just Star Voyager in a cardboard box and it was CIB. I haven't received it yet, thought from what Atari-Age, Atari-Mania and the store suggests, indicates to me it's a single cardboard box release. I guess we'll see when I get it.

Schitti Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 aarrrggghhh, that would be disastrous and means that i miss another HES release in my collection. I'm more curious than you hope the package is coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more curious than you hope the package is coming soon. I completely understand how you would feel as I completely forgot about Pitfall II, and thought I finally had all the plastic cases. A terrible feeling indeed. Out of all the 2600 HES titles, what are the ones you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be the same style as the Gorf: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-gorf_15653.html Have you ever seen one? card or box? I have Gorf, but have never seen a HES Carnival in any style of box or case. I know Atari Mania lists it but doesn't even have a pic of the cart. Do you know for a fact that it does exist? Have you ever seen any pics of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schitti Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 no, never seen one for sure. i thought a while i have seen one, but after years i doubt. the astonishing is that also no cart is known to exist. i have it in my list, but it seems i can delete it from the list. i have to do a research at the weekend.

You would think at least someone would have a pic of it somewhere, I can't anything. Maybe I should phone all the second hand stores that I know, that's how I found Seaquest, Riddle of the Sphinx & Star Voyager. I will wait a while before I do that though as I have contacted them a few time lately to find HES titles & I might start to annoy them lol.

Dane Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 By the way, does anyone own any HES games in this style of packaging? I have NEVER seen them come up at auction before. Although in saying that, I have only started collecting Atari HES titles within the last ten months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Dane, try to see it as a "addon" for your HES collection, not as a piece you need to complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 I'm more curious than you hope the package is coming soon. False alarm, the Star Voyager was just the standard Imagic release. I sent the shop an email, not a nasty one but just told them to be more careful as I've just wasted $20 on that because of them. I don't know how much the standard CIB goes for but I doubt it would be $20? Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
