ATARI 2600 LOOPING LIMITED TO 250

[duncantoml]

Since I've got another copy, I see no reason to have this Factory Sealed copy sitting on a shelf.

 

Only 250 copies were made and released at the 2003 Classic Gaming Expo.

 

The first $300.00 gets it. That will include shipping, but insurance is up to you.

 

The Pictures are from My open one to show the cart and manaul. I also added a screen shot of the game.

 

I've been told that these did not come sealed, but this is how I received it shortly after the show from a friend that got it for me.

Too bad they couldn't have done a color manual.

They are all repros. Just a limited run with the box & instrux.

I know they're repros as far as the game not being commercially released, other than that I don't know the history of this title, so I can't say really. It says 'only 250 produced' on the cart and box.

I have CIB not sealed of this game too, but only paid about $20 about 1 year ago.

 

I think the buyer paid a bit too much.

[Crazy Climber]

First Rush Hour for SEVERAL hundred now Looping, this is nuts man. These games cost like $40

I guess next time another old proto has a run of boxed repro's I won't pass on it - LOL

It's the same way with the Coleco Opcode games-- I just bought 3 of them mint/new/whatever for $30 each... Mcgrail sold the same three on Ebay for more than double that last week on BIN's. Hate to think what the bid prices could have gone to.

[rjchamp3]

not repo's proto types realesed

[Murph74]

Eh, I had that discussion with someone a few weeks ago and got sworn at over it.

 

I think it's semantics to not define currently released old prototypes as reproductions. They aren't original stock, so they're repro's in my mind. I know, you can say they had to have been produced to be reproduced. To that I say the code was produced, and distributing it is reproducing it.

 

Not that it matters-- just NOT labeling it as a reproduction seems to make some think it's a 20 year old rarity, whereas the repro label clues most in immediately.

I always thought of them as limited edition reproductions

The makers kind of create a false rarity by limiting the number produced but it also helps sell them faster and at $30 a pop it probably wasn't a huge money making operation originally.

Does anyone even own the rights to make this game? I guess what I'm getting at is couldn't someone with the knowledge to make boxed reproductions pump out another run of 50 or so or does the owner of the proto get exclusive rights to that? I suppose they would maybe own the rights to the box design? This box is just a shot of the coin-op though and is like all the Coleco games released so they borrowed the idea from Coleco anyways. I guess I don't understand why this is rare when someone could just make more, maybe the original copys are numbered? I don't know

The reason others outside of our community pay more than us is becuase we all are "inside" with current info, ect. all the time with what is going on with games. If I didn't know different I would still be paying more than what stuff is worth also. We should just consider ourselves lucky.

One problem with this statement though. Someone from "Inside" the community just coughed up the money for this looping game since it was offered here at the Atariage marketplace.

Oh Shit really? I didn't put it together that a member had bought this. I was refering to the retarded price on Rush Hour! Wow, someone just got ripped a new one (no offense to the buyer but you did get ripped hard).

I feel lucky that I can get games like this through other AAers...
