CPUWIZ Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Okay, 2 questions: 1. What's the difference between the green border cart and the red border cart available? 2. What happens if you order a $50 purchase and this cart, but then you win one of the carts in the contest? 1. 50 scanlines. 2. you end up with two carts.

Xot Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I am SO ready for this contest. Hopefully I can take most if not all of my pictures tomorrow and have them up by tomorrow night. I already have five ideas, now I just need to take the pix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 1. What's the difference between the green border cart and the red border cart available? The cart with the green border is the NTSC version. The cart with the red border is the PAL version. 2. What happens if you order a $50 purchase and this cart, but then you win one of the carts in the contest? You end up with two carts. This is the only way you'll be able to get your hands on more than one, at least directly from us. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjk7382 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 So how do we know what has already been submitted? Once Al resizes them and puts them up they will be on the bottom of the official contest page: 2003 AtariAge Holiday GreetingCart Contest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisjohn Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 For once our property is clear of sandy patches, so getting actual cat tracks is going to be tricky. Barring paw prints in the sand, here's my first entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khryssun Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I sent mine to editor@atariage.com but as the submission page is not already updated you'll have to wait to see it ... It's about [/size]E.T. I enlight my finger using a red laser pencil pointed on it. The result of a lightening finger looks cool but the photo quality is not good, so I'll make another picture soon :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Someone should make an E.T. cart sticking out of a concrete block lying in a pit. There goes my idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolt Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Yeah, I have a bunch of ideas--here's my first one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Ummm... would someone care to explain what combination of Atari, the holidays, and softcore porn led to the cover art for this cartridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's the story of how the plan for an innocent holiday commemorative cart transformed into a showpiece for a drunken half-dressed floozy dry-humping a game console. Lovely. The mass breakdown in common sense that led to this is truly awe-inspring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZylonBane Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Don't get me wrong-- it's a cool painting. But it looks like something you'd find in the Playboy Holiday Gift Guide. Not something you'd want children or your parents to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, GreetingCart was brought to you today by the word 'irony'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 That art style doesn't look particularly 60s at all. Looks more 40s-50s pinup style. But if you could point me at any online source of 60s mass-market advertising with that degree of skin and straddling, I'd be happy to be educated. Regardless, little from the 60s should be taken as a baseline for normal human behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
