Rom Hunter Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Zach, any chance you can get a better picture / scan of that ad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 I can certainly try to take a better picture tomorrow, though my camera does has limits. A scanner would be better. Since the library does not allow periodicals to be removed we'll probably have to wait until someone finds a personal copy of the magazine to get a scan.

Zach Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Allright, then we just need someone who has a laptop to get involved. Doesn't have to be in Sacramento. I'm sure there are other copies in libraries around the country*. *Possibly Canada too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 A better quality picture would be nice if a scan is too much trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntaxerror999 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Why don't we just ask member Nagn2 if he still has his cart ! Earlier this month he said he had it: Red Sea Crossing? Yes, I still have Red Sea Crossing! Someone should tell him about alex_79's cart dumper http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/185932-my-2600-cart-dumper/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horseboy Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Aren't there at least a couple of far less complicated cart dumpers out there?

jhd Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 *Possibly Canada too. This title is quite widely held by Canadian libraries; the list is too long to post here. If anyone wants to know about a specific city or province, please PM me for details. It might also be interesting to search for ads for "Music Machine". As that was produced in conjunction with a major religious record label (what is now Sparrow), I expect that it would have been very well advertised.

Rom Hunter Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Just tear the page out of the mag when no one is looking. Thou shall not steal. I guess... Perhaps it can be borrowed when you explain the situation? Edited August 24, 2011 by Rom Hunter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'm going to try and get a copy of this through my college's library system and then scan the ad. It may take a week or two. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 LOL, now you've done it, all these people will be going to their libraries to look for an ad that does not exist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagn2 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Hey there, look what I found at the library today: Christianity Today. October 7, 1983. Page 51. Found at the Sacramento State University library. Incidentally I was really surprised to have found the ad so easily. I just decided to go to the library, thinking it would be a long shot. Christianity Today was literally the first publication I searched. It seems to be a fairly prominent magazine, so I'm surprised none of us knew about this game before 2007. I thought maybe there might be a small classified ad about the game, and I certainly did not expect a full page color ad given the game's obscurity. Now who's going to be the first to track down the coloring book and audio cassette? I can't thank you enough for finding this ad, I figured someone would eventually find some physical evidence even though I thought it was proven beyond a doubt. Yes, I will accept all apologies from all the members who made me feel like a scammer! Now maybe this find will be fun again. I have kept the cartridge safe, I figured I couldn't sell it until it was proven to be real. I figured the only way of that happening was for someone to find the ad that Steve talked about. I thought and accepted that it might never happen. Edited August 24, 2011 by nagn2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
