Frostbite Bailey Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 You forgot Hangman; it also had a grey box. I think there may be another one as well. Cheers, FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbite Bailey Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Well maybe not the grey type you are looking at; it is more the silver box with color; still kind of looks grey and it is one bitch to find:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own it and several of the grey releases and they are definitely two different colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbite Bailey Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Did you find the Hangman in an Ebay lot? How long ago did you acquire it? Thanks, FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 He got it in the lot in this thread http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/203616-silver-grey-hangman-cib-only-1299-at-kay-bee-toys/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbite Bailey Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) Yes, sir, that was the one I tried to snipe that sucker as well, but alas no shiping to Canada and bid was not allowed. Seller never got back to me when I requested to bid. Nice aquisition! Now it's me and you atari 181:)lol...and whomever else!

Zwackery Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I of course had a higher bid than what the winning one turned out to be - in these mixed lots some things slip through or go for a lot less than they would have being listed individually. I did miss a grey box Surround that the same seller had in another lot, but I think I'll be able to pick that one up down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbite Bailey Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I will keep an eye out for a surround for you. Yes, it would have been interesting if my bet had went through . Agreed, a lot of things seem to slip through at a better price as opposed to when they are listed individually. Cheers, FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I will keep an eye out for a surround for you. Cool! I really don't collect variants to the extent of some of the other Atari collectors, but for some reason the grey boxes are rather interesting to me.

Lost Monkey Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Necrobump... I have a grey box Bowling that I purchased sealed at either CGE99 or CGE2K. I took it out last night and found a text label Bowling inside... I was expecting a picture label since this release has 1986 on the box. It was unsealed a number of years ago. One thing about the box though - the glue on the bottom flaps has given up and were open - I only noticed when I was putting it away. The cart is pristine though, as though it belonged with the pristine box... very strange. My first reaction when I saw the cart was to go and check the rest of the shelves to see if I had a picture label Bowling - I do not. The most likely solution is that the cart was removed and replaced - I certainly don't remember doing it and can't think of any reason why I would... But, it begs the question - has anyone else found a grey box release with a text label cart in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Ok - I think I figured out what happened - just need confirmation from someone with a 1986 Bowling cart... I am going to assume that the 1986 release would not have a dust cover. Going through my collection, I remembered that I had a Bowling entry from the A#2 FLC - Bowl-O-Rama. It looks like I must have sacrificed the grey box Bowling cart for that and just forgotten about it at some point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While most of my 1986-era cartridges don't have dust covers, I have at least one that does (and I don't recall it having any signs of shenanigans). Atari sure didn't like to keep things consistent at all, and especially in those days. I haven't seen any 1986 text lablels though - well, other than the bizarre Star Ship from that era.

Zwackery Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 My 1986 Bowling (picture label) in the grey box release does not have a dust cover in the cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
