King Atari Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 But then why does the box say "NEW Atlantis"? Was this just a later variant, a re-release, or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 But then why does the box say "NEW Atlantis"? Was this just a later variant, a re-release, or what? It's not really saying "NEW Atlantis", the "NEW" isn't actually part of the game's title. This is simply how Imagic denoted the the game was a "NEW" release. Activision did the same thing with their boxes, but in a more obvious manner. The initial release of the first Activision games for the 2600 have a black band in the lower right corner that states, "A NEW GAME CARTRIDGE FOR YOUR ATARI VIDEO GAME SYSTEM": Activision Laser Blast Box ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Stilphen Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Thanks Stan, for finding one of the few corrupted pictures on my site jk Hopefully I'll get those fixed with the next update (soon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 To tell you the truth, I didn't even notice that, I just posted the page! By the way, is it just me or is the Day Scene Atlantis freakin' impossible to find?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Stilphen Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 The latest issue of "2600 Connection" has an article about AII that I had done about a month before AtariAge posted their story on it. Unfortunately for me, the guy sold the game and the rest of his collection a few months before I found him. Missed having my first exclusive by thatmuch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloatedmonkey Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 By the way, is it just me or is the Day Scene Atlantis freakin' impossible to find?????? I've come across several over the years. I have one boxed right now if you're desperate. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 as stupid as this is going to sound, I'm kind of enjoying the chase right now. I just wanted to make sure others were seeing it. Thanks though, you silly monkey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
