+Random Terrain Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 A guy got a "sealed" Hulk reproduction box without cartridge inside, he thought it was real and that people here was trying to discourage him. Finally he realized it and posted apologies. He also uses Google Translate to communicate, so that's why his posts can sound kind of aluminum meat loaf. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Funny how more packages to Italy are not getting "lost" now due to USPS tracking. Nothing to make of that at all. Nope. Not a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 The one thing that hasn't been said yet (and I thought everything had) is that we're going to start finding more and more instances of homemade boxes, homebrew games, and collector's edition con releases in thrift stores. [...] These things have value to us in the community, but when people go bankrupt and liquidate their collection, or they (unfortunately) pass away and a relative or loved one sells it all off, they can't tell a $25-$50 homebrew from a regular Atari game - because in fact for nostalgia purposes we want everything to look like it did back then. Old style carts, old style boxes, hmmm this must be another of his old games. Sell it! Well, I for one am looking forward to this happening -- it makes the games available to a much broader audience. After his death, most of Grandfather'srecord collection went to a local thrift shop. This included titles originally purchased through mail-order and at concerts that were never previously available for retail sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+bfstats Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Tempest, his eyes open. Trek reference. Nicely done, Tempest. I have enjoyed this thread. Airgames, this is a community with a wonderfully irreverent sense of humor (as it should be). Try not to take it seriously. And thanks for sharing. Welcome aboard! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Yes, the only logical explanation was a Star Trek reference Some people might have gotten it all mixed up and thought he was talking about that weird Tom Cruise movie.

+save2600 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Modest collection indeed, but you're on your way! Nice room for it too (like the woodwork) but what's with all the game boxes in plastic? Cut those babies loose and let the wonderful smell of old media permeate in that wooden room!

Zwackery Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I've never seen that Atlantis advertisement before. Interesting. I've only seen pictures (such as on atarimania), but it's kind of weird it has that Atari badge on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydro Thunder Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Not to be rude, but I just have to mention that someone set up us the bomb, move every zig, and quite frankly all your base are belong to us. Main screen turn on. And all that's done, I also agree with those who said that $20ish for a nice repro box is not half bad, so nobody really got ripped off. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Abbiamo molti genti qui chi parlano italiano. Sono sorpreso che nessuno ha offerto di aiutare con una traduzione...? (L'ho fatto senza Google Translate, allora perdona me per ogni sbagliati) E anche: benvenuto al Atariage. Lasciate ogni speranza...!! Mi chiedo chi ha fatto questo "repro scatola"? Evidentemente qualcuno ha prestato molto attenzione ai dettagli... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airgames Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Thanks to all !!!I'm glad you enjoyed it.I put the games in the plastic containers to avoid that take dust.the store display of ATLANTIS not original.made by me taking a photo from atarimania.to Raiders of the Lost Ark is original!

macdlsa Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) I see some italian magazines on your wall, airgames... I have some, too... Unfortunately I miss several numbers ... if I think I had bought them ALL at the time (1983 to 1986) since the No. 2, I want to throw punches to anything (or even anyone... ). __________ It's since the 1995 I haven't EVER trusted local retailers ( with some exceptions... our community is now very large, we all know ourselves and we use to trade our items or at least with few moneys, but sometimes it happens that someone "appears from the clouds" and claims to be a collector / have *supposed* holy grails... ) , preferring to turn my eyes to other countries' market(s).Here in Italy there are still many who believe they have found gold in the attic and then they try to sell it "in such shape"... Just look on eBay now and search for "Exocet" (thanks to Dan for the tip ! I've tried to communicate with that guy in the past, but it seems to be a real moron !). Eventually, airgames, please give us some more info about Hulk's seller, so if he'll really appear on eBay we already know that we have to avoid it, at least !
