CowabungaBreakfast Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hello everyone! I'm a long time visitor to Atari Age and a 2600 collector of many years. but this is my first post. Apologies if this is the wrong place to be posting it. Some folks from the Atari Players Unite Facebook group suggested I post this here as well.I'm really excited to share with the community that I believe I have found a copy of Coke Wins / Pepsi Invaders in the wild!! Just a few weeks ago, I bought a stack of games with no labels at my local shop for only a few bucks. Sometimes you can find cool stuff this way, like the video game lottery. Lo and behold...one of them was Coke Wins!! Feels like I got struck by lightning, I couldn't believe it!I'm sharing some pictures of the game, and the chip via my Imgur account. I'd love to learn more about it! Thank you for your time!http://imgur.com/a/bogpF#KBb3NUI 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.opus Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 If the following guide is any indication, it looks like you got the real deal: One of 125. For me the permanent marker on the chip seems to give it a way. The handwriting looks very similar, as if it was marked by the same person. If it is a fake, it's a pretty convincing fake. http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-pepsi-invaders_11875.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowabungaBreakfast Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Thank you very much!! I have further reason to believe it is real considering that it was found in a box of games brought in by a family. There was obvious dust all through it. It seems unlikely that some family had a reproduction in their box.My copy also has the little plastic pieces that act as a flap in the cartridge. That wasn't pictured in the guide.

ave1 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Hi, that's great, man. I know the feeling- I found one in 1994 and provided an article about the find in "The 2600 Connection" (Jan/Feb 1995 issue (issue #26)). I don't see it online but you can obtain issues of the fanzine here: http://www.2600connection.com/books/books_2600C_books.html I spent around $36 for mine at a flea market near Cincinnati, and still have it. According to Digital Press issue #46 there were only 150 of these produced. Here's the issue of DP: https://archive.org/details/Digital_Press_Issue_46_2001-07_Santulli_Joe_US Edited August 25, 2015 by ave1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariTexas Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Very cool and congrats on the find. Too bad Atari never did a Mountain Dew game Edited August 26, 2015 by BadHornet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhite2600 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Very cool and congrats on the find. Too bad Atari never did a Mountain Dew game Atari didn't make a Mountain Dew game but Sega used the logo in Tapper. http://atariage.com/screenshot_page.php?SoftwareLabelID=550 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dauber Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Which reminds me...I saw Chase the Chuckwagon in a local store not too long ago...very tempted to go buy it, assuming it's still there.
