kennybrooks Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Has anyone ever seen this release? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Superman-Atari-2600-and-Sears-VCS-New-in-Box-Unopened-/291362057363?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43d6882c93&nma=true&si=5tm4InVEN5RLurnxAedzyzyfIr8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I have seen many 2600 games back in the old day and I have never seen Atari branded 2600 game with shrinkwrap. They were usually glued shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Weis Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 wonder what the back of the box looks like? very cool! Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojay1997 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 That looks like very recent and hand done Y fold wrap. I suspect this is just a reproduction box of some kind as it appears very modern in construction and I have never seen anything even close to that in any region for 2600 releases.

Always buy a true original like this example: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennybrooks Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Thanks for everyone's responses, I didn't win it, just saw it in completed items on ebay and had never seen any like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Yeah, thats a repro. It's a cool one though but $70 is ridiculous... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Combat Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I actually found this in the superstition mountains while looking for curly's gold in a cave. Actually bought the game on ebay because it looked cool & unique, I know nothing about it's origins but i'm tempted to open the Y fold & find out. Does anyone else have this box in their collection?? Here's some more pics of the side & back views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It's a fake, unless the guy sold more of them, it's doubtful that anyone else has one. The #1 giveaway is the fact that it is not a single piece of cardboard, it's made out of separate pieces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I will be posting the final big unveil of weird superman with manuals around 8:30 a.m. pacific or 11:30 eastern stay tuned for some atari fun! Not just the "unveil", it's "the final big unveil" and it has more than one manual! Good stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Combat Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 The fake is exposed but whoever put this together did a pretty good job it has cool artwork! That being said the only thing left to do is bury this in Alamogordo NM desert while on vacation & have the city dig it up a year later & slap a coa on the bag & sell it for $1500 like e.t. Here are the rest of the pics 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 "Lex Luther" - lol. I like how in all the myriad copyright violations the maker bothered to include citations for the game program, walkthrough, and map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
