Schiggidyd Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hey guys! Long time reader. I'm not a huge Atari guy, so I need some help identifying this Spider Fighter cart. I knew the moment I saw it that it was not normal, I found it odd. Can anyone tell me if it could be a proto? It is an authentic Activision case, however, the label is completely blank, but still the orange color they used. It has a sticker on the end, which has its product number and title. I would like to open it up and see the chip inside, but I can't figure out how to open it! Any help opening it? Identifying it? Thank you!

atari181 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 It's a Proto. Worth about $100 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schiggidyd Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 Wow really? That's exciting! I pulled it out of a box, and the guy was reluctant to sell it without the system. I gave him 5 dollars because I had a hunch! Thanks so much! By the way, it works too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest is probably, the one here who can answer any questions about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schiggidyd Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 I believe it does play the same, I've read that most proto's are like that. Sometimes the differences are simply in the programming, not the visuals or gameplay. I was close to throwing it away a few weeks ago, because I made the same topic on Digital Press, where I'm more active, and didn't get a single response. Thank you for talking to me about it Stargunner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
