I will try to post some pics in the next week or so.

Nice that you have had it so long. Why did your parents buy a 2800?

Yeah my folks got it originally in Mexico city in the 80's, I believe from Tepito or mabye other place

that sells "Fayuca" (black market illegal imports). Maybe it was the cheapest one as I rembember all my

cousings have an atari way before me.

It was my only atari system until I got a flashback2

a few years ago.

I remember trying to read the manuals on japanese and the silver labels. Unfortunately none survive today.

 

One by one I broke the joysticks playing!

I have a 2800 CIB and I have almost all the 2800 game boxes in new un-folded condition. :)

I've often wondered about these 2800 box flats that are floating around on ebay every so often, do the actual 2800 branded games exist for these?

 

Yes, I remember my first games and catalogs was in japanese for the 2800. Demonds to diamonds, missile command and asteroids.

For those that haven't seen that link before.

And there is also a couple of Spectravision 2800 releases too.

If I recall properly, weren't the carts just normal label carts and the boxes were the only special thing about the "2800 games"?

In most cases: yes.

 

In some cases even the box was normal (carrying a Japanese sticker) and only the manual was Japanese:
