Curt Vendel Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Yup, You read it right, I am parting with one of the two known to exist Atari LCD handheld prototypes that I purchased directly from the CED engineer. Auction is only 3 days because all everyone ever does is bid at the last couple of minutes, so why drag it out, best of luck to the bidders, winner will also receive color copies of the marketing materials and photo's of the units as well. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=190187215293 Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

video game addict Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Curt what designates this as Breakout? Is it the color of the handheld or something not shown in the photo? Are there any electronics inside or empty? Hollow or solid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 821$ is a nice maximum price. I would like to hold this little thing in my hands...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemoncurry Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I collect handhelds even more so than Atari games and yet I wouldn't have paid $100 for this thing. A dead block of plastic or even wood shaped like what a game that was never made was supposedly going to look like? Whoo hoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could these be made to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemoncurry Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Would have been nice if he had specifically pointed out that there are not any electronics inside! Wonder if the buyer was aware of that fine point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninermaniac Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I guess since they never really got the attention they wanted from handhelds at that time they would have produced a working unit. Or is there? Their has to be a working prototype tucked safely away in someones safe. I guess it would go for the same price as a 1944 copper penny? If time and effort went into actually creating the case I would say a working unit exists somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, but it is a never-working prototype, it's not like it's broken which is what non-working generally means. It is not even an "LCD handheld" for that matter. I'd say the buyer has a case for SNAD if they wanted. A mock-up is what it is. I would hope the buyer did his homework before dropping most of a grand on this, but the seller wasn't very generous with the information...
