CPUWIZ Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Cassidy is a member here and has been for a long time. I don't recall what year it was, but it was a long time ago. http://atariage.com/forums/user/571-cassidy-nolen/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 NP, the boxed Frog Pond repros are also his. I think Polo was 2003, but I am not 100% sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 The green box, text label Polo was released at the "Philly Classic 3" gaming convention in 2002. I'm pretty sure that it was a limited production run of 200 units. The red label Polo was released the following year at the "Philly Classic 4" gaming convention. I *think* that it was a production run of 150 but I'm not 100% sure about that. I actually just sent Cassidy a message earlier today asking if he could confirm the production numbers for me. I'll get back to you if he responds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syzygy1 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I have a ROM of Polo and it said the game promoted the clothing brand (I have a few Polo clothes). Pretty weird to see a game based on a clothing brand. Did they sell it in the stores that sold the clothing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syzygy1 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Warner Communications owned both Atari and Polo so they wanted to do that. Didn't Warner Communications also own Nickelodeon and Chuck E. Cheese? Maybe there could be a Nick game for the 2600 or a Chuck E Cheese game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Pretty much every Atari product tie-in was done because Warner wanted to cross-promote something else they owned (DC Comics, Franklin Mint). I think Warner only owned Chuck E. Cheese because Bushnell started it while he was still at Atari. Once he left, he took Chuck with him. I'm sure I have the details completely wrong, but it wasn't a Warner property any time they would have been doing tie-in games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncoman Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 ok thx for the info still wonder why they never released polo I think it would be neat back in the days good smells and a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syzygy1 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Still would be neat if there was a Nickelodeon game for the 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Ks Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Polo: Officially a better game made to promote a fashion brand primarily consumed by affluent white people than Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syzygy1 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 maybe called slimed ? I don't think Nick introduced their slime yet when Warner owned them (1979-1986) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippyRedPlumber Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 @Syzygy1 Yeah they have, it was introduced in a show called "You Can't Do that On Television" which aired on Nick from 1981 to 1990. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
