root42 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 So I read about this mythical chess piece box for the Atari 2600... What's the deal with this? I figured this is one of the original boxes of the Atari? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I was told it's some sort of 70's sex thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubersaurus Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 The first run of VCSs had a chess piece on the box, to help denote that you played games on the thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davyK Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 What was different about the Special Editions? There were a few games like that. Pele Soccer had it too if I remember right? Was it to do with the introduction of extra easy children's editions? The lowest level on Video Chess was super easy to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
