+cvga Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Here's another item I ran across while getting prepared to move. All of the star master patches I've seen other than this one look like the patch on the right. I don't remember where I got the patch on the left although I vaguely recall a thread where someone else found a similar patch. Does anyone have additional information on this? Is it an early patch, proto patch, or maybe just a hobbiest's creation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the 5th ghost Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I never got any cool patches from Activision. I kept sending in scores, but all they sent me was this: 950785[/snapback] I LOVE it! I want one too please Anyway, back to the Starmaster patch question. The more detailed one on the left is indeed a legitimate Activision patch. They are extremely rare from what I understand. The only other one that I have seen was the one owned by Todd Rogers. He can give you more info on it, if you want. Cool find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Yancey Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Todd said there was a patch that was given out to people who held all 4 starmaster variation world records at the same time. At the time I'd never heard of this specialty patch. I thought Todd would be the only one to have held all 4 records, but he evidently never held all 4 at the time any newsletters went to the publisher.

ToddRogers Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Greetings, You are correct I did say that Activision gave me that jacket for holding ALL of the StarMaster records at the same time and I also have said on a number of occasions that Activision did not publish some of my records probably due to lag time on the post production of their newsletters. But that is fine to I had made plenty of records right in front of them that were never mentioned in the newsletters such as Oink, Pressure Cooker and KeyStone Kapers. The jacket that was given to me has the StarMaster Special patch on one sleave and on the other sleave another patch from the Astronaught Neil Armstrong who I met in the 1980's of a Space Shuttle . I hope this sheds a little light on the StarMaster Patch. -Todd Mr. Activision Rogers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) Dude, I so want one. I don't know why you would... the letter they sent along with it wasn't very nice either. I suppose it's asking a bit much to hope that was a form letter. Edited October 20, 2005 by Nathan Strum 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 Todd, Thanks for the info! Is it true that there's only a handful of these then? I didn't even know it was authentic let alone so rare. What a great story! Nathan, That may be the funniest letter I've ever read If those patches are ever available, I'd love to get one!

Thanks... and I'd be happy to give you one if I could, but it only exists in Photoshop. If someone ever wants to make real ones, I'd be glad to give them the artwork.

+Nathan Strum Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 LOL. TELL me that is photoshopped! Yep. It took me awhile to find 1) a scan of an original Activision letter and 2) a typewriter font that was a close match. (I put way, way too much time into this stuff.)

TheWriteDude Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 (edited) This makes me wonder how one can go about custom-making and ordering patches like those Activision ones. For example, it would be cool if AtariAge could sell patches branded with its logo. Or a homebrew author could make available patches related to his game. ADDENDUM: I just did a Froogle search and turned up this link: http://www.united-states-flag.com/cupa2x3.html Apparently there are lots of other businesses online that will make a custom patch for you.

How difficult would it be to duplicate the old Activision patches using these custom patchmaking services? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the Star Fire patches were done by a similar company though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wester Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I think it would be fair to give a couple bucks for shipping and production costs. I'd do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
