Snider-man Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 It's that time again, all you new Atari collectors! I am giving away *yet another* Atari 2600 game cart to one lucky newbie. We'll play the game like we did last time. I have a cart here of moderate rareness that will go to the first newbie (under 300 posts) that can identify what the game is. There is no trick or gimmick to this contest. Just post in this thread what you think the title of the game is. If you're the first to identify it, you win it! (Postage is included in the giveaway, even if you're outside of the US! Everyone gets a shot at this!) I'll post hints after we've gone a while without a winner. In fact, this message may or may not have a hint within it. And, NO, the "winky" means nothing this time around. Only one guess per person and the guesses will be "reset" when I post a new hint - just like last time. Good luck newbies!

King Asmo Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Although I'm not eligible, I'm guessing this game is a sequel to another game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snider-man Posted June 26, 2002 Author Share Posted June 26, 2002 Actually, there's a GREAT contest for veterans that I run over on Digatal Press. Their Mystery Game is my baby too. Try it out. Go to www.digitpress.com, then click on "Mystery Game" in the left-hand bar. Newbies need not apply. Don't get in line. Stay out of the pool. You must be THIS tall to enter the Mystery Game contest. Anyway, these little giveaways here on AA are to help new folks get a free cart of reasonable rarity without having to buy it, find it, etc. The days of the thrift finds are pretty much over. This is just my small way of giving the new guys (and gals) that sense of "Yahoo! I got it!" There may or may not be hints to the Mystery Game's ID within this message.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Just to prove that many posts don't make everybody an expert: I guess, it's something "green" from Imagic . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisjohn Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Trick Shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snider-man Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 Krisjohn is the proud winner of Imagic's Trick Shot, a great overhead billiard simulation for the Atari 2600. In my first message, I mentioned the words TRICK and SHOT. In my next message was hidden the word POOL. Krisjohn, if you'll send me your address, I'll get your free cart in the mail to you. Congrats!

krisjohn Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Wow. I did spot the "There's no TRICK or gimmick", but I missed the shot and the pool. Thanks to Snider-man for the compo and to AA for the forum. This community rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim, these contests are cool, I think I need to start giving away some carts in this fashion. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Newbie = (< 300 posts) ? WTF! (must find way to increase post count) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbrit2 Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 He he. The 'newbie' tagline should be reevaluated. Compare my registration date with my post count. I'm just the strong silent type. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEBRO Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 This was a good one Tim. Even with the hint from Thomas I didn't get this one. Once krisjohn posted his responce I was like Doh! Now the one you have on DP, I have no clue what that is. Excellent contest my man!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snider-man Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 Actually, by my own definition, *I'm* a newbie! (Take a look at my count.) It's the only fair way I've come up with to determine who's "new" to the board. Plus, if I open it to everyone, Thomas will snag every cart I toss up.
