+Propane13 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm also quite certain that it's legit; seems that there's enough proof. nagn2- just curious-- when you started this thread, is that implying that you're considering selling? I guess having it in the database would potentially add more value to a sale. But, I guess you could have other reasons for asking. Thanks! -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagn2 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 I do plan on selling it at auction but I am going to wait until it is in the AtariAge database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer4x4 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 You may be waiting a while, I don't think it is maintained any more. I think Al is too busy with other projects. Perhaps if he could "Delegate" some of that to certain members? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Propane13 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Would it existing in atarimania be sufficient? I think it's there, and that database is the most up-to-date resource available. RomHunter and crew maintain that site diligently; that is pretty much the definitive source for label variations, releases, pictures, etc... If you can't find it there, then there's an issue. -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yes, the database hasn't been updated in a while. For example the homebrews Duck Attack!, K.O. Cruiser, Dungeon, and Halo 2600 were released in 2010 and are not present in the database. Nor is Extra Terrestrials, another very rare game from 1983 rediscovered in 2011.

Foxsolo2000 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I do plan on selling it at auction but I am going to wait until it is in the AtariAge database. Why what are you possibly afraid of? Sell it now and then this entire case can be closed for the better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss 2600 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 It will be a long time before it is updated in the AA database. The page for Air Raid still says "We have never seen the box for this game." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofrills100 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I believe that the cartridge is legit, but I also am now convinced that Nagn is full of s*¿t 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there is a quiet majority who is convinced by your screenshots, video, and label photos plus the ad. That cart you've got is still worth a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 It IS well-known...regardless of if it exists in a database. All the drama that surrounds it (however unintentional it might have been) has made sure of that. "Screw you guys, I'm going home"-type posts aren't helping your case to get it "officially" recognised in an online list - a joke in itself, since online lists are sometimes incorrect about such things anyway. I'll give you a couple of bucks to put an axe through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another excuse not to allow this game to be purchased. When the adds were found I was starting to believe but his attitude is truly strange. I was going to ask if he was still standing by his guns and would only sell to someone who also promised not to dump the code as he had promised the designer despite the fact that guy also had a garage full of these games at his home. Truly bizarre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranthulfr Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I can totally understand wanting to wait until the game is in the rarity guide: It would give the *previously unseen* cartridge some creedence, validation, and/or legitimacy and possibly help the auction. It would remove doubt from the minds of potential bidders. I'm pretty sure Air Raid had that advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been many games found and sold that are not in the database such as Gamma Attack for one and that was proved to be legit. All I see is excuse after excuse from Nagn2 not to sell the damn thing and the one time he would he slapped a precondition on it that the new owner would swear not to release or share the code to anyone else due to the promise he had made to the game creator. If I recall there was someone on here would would have done just that and yet still he did not sell. I doubted this from the start and his attitude has just enforced that doubt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have people contacted him to see if he's willing to sell them? This story sure has a lot of goofy twists and turns in it.

Shawn Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Real talk here. How much money will it cost me to get your Red Sea Crossing game out of your hands and into mine? If you got a price I got the cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
