Shinju Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Atlantis, in your quest trying to find the "one" Atlantis II copy. So has it been 100% confirmed that the Atlantis II carts wer the night time scene only? Here is my stack, I have another 4 or 5 in another box. Just cannot seem to pass up on a copy and think to myself... Could that one been it? Anyway, I was killing some time so I thought I would share.

racerx Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Lol, I think I have three, but only as they've come in lots I've picked up. Can't say as I've ever tried to track down an Atlantis II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastleofIllusion Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I had 2, got rid of 1 in a trade. Both were identical, save for the pic on the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinju Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 I just pick these up when I am out an about, I got 5 in one place all night time scene carts, chances of finding one is slim to none but hey, atleast I can say I tried I figured if an Atari Repro guy needed a ton of iMagic shells for a project I got em!

sqoon Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Interesting news about the night-scene only variant. So no text-only or day-scene variants contained Atlantis II? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etschuetz Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have two copies, and I didn't pay attention to the fact that they are like your first two listed...one without the picture art, and one with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) There are at least two versions of the night scene label. I have only seen pictures of Atlantis II with one of those variations. To answer the question, I have three copies of Atlantis. There is a day label and one each of the night labels. I plan to convert the day label one to Atlantis II one day. The day label will make it obvious it's a repro while still retaining the classy Imagic look. Similarly, I own only two copies of Spacechase. I'm not going to spend anywhere from $2 to $5 a pop just to find out I've picked up the common variant AGAIN. That's what a portable VCS is for.

Philflound Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Looks to me that there are variations with your night time scene. I have 2 variations on the list, one with a star in the upper left corner and one with no star. Maybe I'm seeing a bad flash from the camera though. Can you tell any other differences? The one in the bottom middle looks a bit odd with the explosion in the top of the picture. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got most of these at a buck each, couple of them were .50 and one was free. lol this is like the SMB/DH for the 2600 for me anyway. Also as far as photo variants go, there is 2 of them that have a bright radiant explosion with the star on the left, the others are not so bright and vibrant no star on the left (maybe these were made with a lesser quality printer?)

the.golden.ax Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) I've checked dozens of them over the past 7 years. I don't keep em. I'm always willing to waste a buck on one at a thrift, or used game store. At least you can sell it, trade it, or give it as a freebie with a system. Lotto is just throwing your money away, this isn't. Plus it's an excuse to get a quick game in while "checking" it out.

Shinju Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Would love to find an Atlantis II but chances of that are slim to none. Never know though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmsignal Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Weren't the copies only given out to a select few? Get a list of names and go all stalker on the winners. Start raiding the towns that they reside in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
