bradhig1 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Is there any diffference between the 2800 and the Sears Video Arcade II? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 I've got a CIB one of those. I love the box. Same! And I'm a sucker for anything Japanese! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Is there any diffference between the 2800 and the Sears Video Arcade II? A motherboard revision at best. Even the power supply is the same, it is unlike any other 2600 supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Nice!Not fond of the way you handle the material, though.Thanks for sharing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I have the Sears version. A very interesting design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Be nice to know what the Japanese characters read on the box. I imagine something like: More game, more fun! Atari 2800 compatible with Atari 2600 game. There are no 2800 game available, so stop looking! Atari 2600 games included for your supreme enjoyment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I did some translating using Google translate and the top four Kanji's really just say ATARI Video Computer System. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Not fond of the way you handle the material, though. Oh, please. I've been handling video game systems for 41 years (22 of them as part of my professional career) and the way I handled it was just FINE. I personally feel that video games are meant to be PLAYED WITH not put on a shelf and started at as though it's some sort of un-touchable god-like creature. Here's a picture of the system after all the abusive manhandling! lol As you can see, it's perfectly fine! Next time, just for you, I'll find some super rare mint-in-box Atari item and rip it open on video! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I still think there's something in between that and the way you handle the material. Never mind. Cool system! Looking forward to your next find! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osgeld Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I often sit behind my couch behind the TV facing away from mine, increases the difficulty of the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 I often sit behind my couch behind the TV facing away from mine, increases the difficulty of the game So do I! After all this is the proper video game playing position, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Like how they depict the game full screen on what appears to be a commodore monitor. Also amazing how much fun they are having playing the game while it appears to be in attract mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Ha! No worries! I'll be sure to wear the white gloves on the next video! Don't listen to him. He doesn't even collect video games. He only sits in envy with the binary copies and jpeg images of the stuff we actually own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polybius Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Woah! That's a seriously awesome score! That's one of the rarest (Official) variants of the 2600!, except maybe the "Polyvox" Brazil versions, and maybe even more so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totallyterrificpants Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Too late for Atari to market that system. It's like releasing the Sega Genesis in a certain region the week the Nintendo 64 came out. Too late but cool variant. Exciting seeing anything Atari in Japan. A retro game store in Tokyo had a boxed Lynx but think it was an American import. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empsolo Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Did Atari inc really expect this to sell for 24,800 Yen in 1983? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig1 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Did Atari inc really expect this to sell for 24,800 Yen in 1983? They didn't expect the Famicom to come out a week later and kill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPR Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 They didn't expect the Famicom to come out a week later and kill it. How did they not have any idea that the Famicom was going to be released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 So do I! After all this is the proper video game playing position, right? IMG_3878a.jpg The girl must be playing wrong as it looks like she's about to get a spanking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 The picture almost looks like there are familiar actors from the old school Sesame Street. The woman who looks like she's about the spank looks like Sonia Manzano, and Will Lee (aka Mr. Hooper) on the right. Ironically, Lee actually was in an Atari commercial before his death in 1982.
