R4ngerM4n Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Everybody knows the familiar silver boxes Atari 400 and 800 computers were shipped with. Were these boxes used from the beginning (1979) or are there earlier boxes with different design? If so, are there any photos of these available? Looking forward to your replies!

+slx Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 That's something I'd like to know, too. Those silver boxes imho don't match the appearance of the old manuals or even the early black/red game boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I have an 800 in a plain cardboard box with Atari labels on it... not sure if this is an older one or something that was a factory refurbished machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 No, the 400 and 800 computer program boxes had a completely different design. http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-defender_1561.html Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I have an 800 in a plain cardboard box with Atari labels on it... not sure if this is an older one or something that was a factory refurbished machine. The 1979-1980 400 and 800 were shipped in plain cardboard boxes. You have an early model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Its in the garage and its FREEZING in chicago land. I'll get pics when I can, I cant remember exactly but I think I have the 800, 810 (I think) and 850 boxes with the styrofoam, docs, disks and what not.
