crunchysuperman Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 If it's legit, that is. Seller seems to know the difference, but without screenies, & not even a reserve, I'm skeptical. http://cgi.ebay.com/Atari-2600-IMAGIC-ATLA...id=p3286.c0.m14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes is someone to burn the ROM to A2. Without paperwork this is blah... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'm reading his C&P and then his description & Q&A and I don't think he knows what the difference is. Or if he does, he's careful not to mention anything to suggest this. I'd say it's just a standard night scene cart nothing more, unless he can provide more info. But I'd almost ponder a guess and say he's hoping to catch someone into believing he's got a real AII when he probably knows full well it's just the regular cart.

anicetyguy Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) Here's my question on ePay, let's see if he posts an answer: "Please post a picture of the "Atlantis 2" game in play so that we can be sure that it is working and that it has the correct scoring font." I have the feeling that somebody on ePay is going to be ripped off really hard by this guy... update: I REALLY don't trust anyone who would charge $91.03 to ship a car stereo Edited August 12, 2009 by anicetyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs paperwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKoopa Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I think this guy is going to doge every detail so he doesn't have to prove its Atlantis 2 my guess is he's hoping to rip off someone gullible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anicetyguy Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Reason for my question is that the label is still intact - I'm not aware of a way to mod the insides without unscrewing the cart & destroying the label...is there in fact a way to do this?

Labels can come off pretty easy without any damage at all. If the cart was suspect, putting it on a scale and it's weight would tell all real quick.

Albert Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 The seller ripped off text from this page on AtariAge: http://www.atariage.com/features/atlantis2.html At least he left the links in. I agree about being skeptical--there's no way I'd put a penny towards an "Atlantis II" without seeing more detailed pictures, as well as the game running through a television. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 IMO he believes that a night scene label Atlantis cart is automatically an Atlantis II cart. Posting a screenshot or picture of the opened cartridge would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninermaniac Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) IMO he believes that a night scene label Atlantis cart is automatically an Atlantis II cart. I agree. He really makes that impression when talking about it. Posting a screenshot or picture of the opened cartridge would help. I thought the only difference was with the gameplay and number font. I don't think there is a difference in the actual board and ROM chip is there? Edited August 16, 2009 by ninermaniac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow460 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 With a response like this, though, it would actually be worth a little risk. What's a repro of Atlantis II in an Imagic case worth...around 20 bucks or so? Who here would bid hundreds of dollars on that without seeing the screenshots and the guts? If there's no proof, I would think the bids would be about the cost of a repro. Then, too, it could just be a normal Atlantis cart, but that's the risk you'd take. On the other hand, it could be the real deal, and getting it for the price of a repro would be an absolute steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
