Cybertom Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Hi, i didn't mean the games themself - i have them both but afaik the Berenstain Bears comes in the large box with all the tapes included and the Smurfs come within the Kidvid Bigbox only. I've never seen the games in these standars coleco style boxes - therefore my question was if the boxes where fanmade. greetings Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickysgreatstuff Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I doubt I'm the only one with one of these, but they seem pretty rare: What is that I have one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hi there, interesting Thread. Are they real or Fanmade ? greetings Tom Hey Tom I thought those boxes looked familiar, they are mine. They are both aftermarket (fan made) but still 100% awesome. I think only a few of the Bears one was made and the smurfs had a larger run. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I doubt I'm the only one with one of these, but they seem pretty rare: What is that I have one of those Imagic display Kiosk, very rare, very cool. PM sent but I most likely can't afford it, if infact it is what you have. Please post pics, Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gulag picture radio Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hey Atari Pitbull... I had an Atari table very much like the ones you showed! It was destroyed in a flood a few years ago. Damn - and to think that it stayed intact all these years! I've got a couple of Atari curiosities, but if we're talking one of a kind stuff, this is the closest that I've got... I should use this as my avatar at some point soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gulag picture radio Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I got that nut in the 80's, so it's the real deal. It was missing an eye - obviously from playing too much Atari. I couldn't find any others at atari2600.com. Where should I be looking? THanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) This one came from England (Thanks again Jon!): Cheers, Marco Very nice! Marco, Could you make an end label picture of the four V-Cases? Are the ones with the four-picture labels 4-in-1 carts?

Marco Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 They're all single games. One's pretty weird, it's a regular Sancho release! I don't have the digital camera here at the moment (I borrow it from my family in law, and they needed it. I need to get myself a camera, I know).

Zwackery Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) This isn't a truly unique item like some other people have been sharing, but it is unique to me and here is its story. Back in 1997-98 I was finishing up my MA degree and renting a house with 2 other graduate students. Both guys knew I was collecting old video games. At that point I'd only really been into it for about 4 years or so, but it is still good to network and get the word out. One day, one of the roommates, a biologist named Bill, hands me this cartridge holder and some games that he had picked up on a recent trip home. He didn't have anything else, but I was really grateful for his gift. I asked him where he got the case, and it turned out that in the 1980s he was living in Saudi Arabia as his dad was working for the US gov't and had moved the family there. Of course, Atari was big over there, too, so he had a system and games, and he got this cartridge holder for his small collection. It was sold with other Atari corporate merchandise, so he believes it was an Atari product (but he only has a recollection of this, no other documentation or proof). When his family moved back to the US, he left his system but brought the holder and games back (interestingly, all the games were pretty common stuff, and all NTSC except for Ms. Pac-Man and Swordquest: Earthworld, which were PAL). So, he was kind enough to pass along his last remaining Atari goods to me. The cartridge holder itself is quite a bit sturdier than other similarly styled cartridge holders. It holds 40 games in 4 rows of 10. The lid is hinged so that it likes to either stay completely closed, or, once you open past a certain point, remain completely open. The bottom is solid (albeit thin) wood, too, which is different from the thin cardboard bottoms on other holders. As for the Atari logo on the front (complete with ®), it is printed on a very thick piece of plastic and coated, and then bonded to the front of the box (I assume with a very strong epoxy). So, my rare carts that are without a box to call home get to stay in this special cartridge holder as a place of honor.
