Gregory DG Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Ah yes... I remember when all the costumes were made of plastic... You should look up the Asteroids costume. It was the BEST of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Weis Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I am curious, why do you think you are "cool" for harvesting pictures, seriously? some of us like looking at the pictures, keep up the good work ROM! i don't know on the issue if he thinks he cool or not, but i think he's doing a great job for our community!

doctorclu Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) Speaking of harvesting picture, here are the pictures from those E-bay auctions. (For those that read this thread months from now) Mannn... if the costumes had the body of the characters rather than a picture of the box art I might buy them. The Asteriods one is just ... interesting. Edited July 21, 2008 by doctorclu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hmmm... I'm thinking of a suspense/horror film using these Atari masks. The Asteriods on would be interesting for example. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 As a Yars' Revenge fan, I would have loved to get this costume, but ataripitbull put in the big bid. The Missile Command one got a pretty penny, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProperRogue Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Wow! I do remember those. The smell from those plastic masks would have you feeling a little loopy by the time your 'trick or treating' was over. Not to mention the vinyl outift , guaranteed to burn calories while you go from door to door! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahfish Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) I am curious, why do you think you are "cool" for harvesting pictures, seriously? he IS cool ... for putting in a lot of work in a website that is not even his site! this is by far one of the most complete documentation about the atari, and obviously not intended to generate cash, but a great free service to the whole worldwide atari community! so i think there is absolutely nothing wrong with it! plus he is usually asking every single person to provide better scans! so it's not like he is strictly harvesting pictures ... most of us collectors are "harvesting pictures" on our drives, wheter it for simply reminding us of certain items, or to have an overview, or whatever else. if you don't want your pictures to be re-used, then put yourself in the picture as well, just like on those old activision highscore polaroids!

CPUWIZ Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 No no no, it's not the effort, it is the stupid emoticon he puts in every single friggin post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) Ah, I see. That silly sunglass smiley has become my personal signature. I don't like using emoticons. The only one I always sign my post with is the sunglass smiley. It has nothing to do with the written post or being cool --> It's just a habit.

ATARIPITBULL Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 The Yars costume is mine now!!! Those pictures at the top which my good buddy "Rom Hunter" showed are my costumes and I thought Atari only came out with those 3 and now I find a Yars one, makes me wonder if there are any more out there?

Good, now maybe the next one won't be so expensive! I've only got the one for Centipede thus far. I think that the Big Ten titles that Atari was pushing around the time that the costumes were made were: Asteroids Battlezone Centipede Haunted House Missile Command Star Raiders Super Breakout Tempest Warlords Yars' Revenge and given that these variously have records, pencils, and cardboard posters et al associated with (some of) them, it makes sense that perhaps another costume might have been made, but I wouldn't expect many (or maybe even any) more. Anyhow, here are some icons for Rom to consider: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
