Gregory DG Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 That's funny. So, after you beat the game, you're supposed to turn off the system and start over? Ack! So much for the ultimate high score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ussexplorer Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Remeber the end of super mario brothers. Then After you run through it the next time it was a tad different. After that you just keep going. Talk about a waste of time. Laters, Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Wow... amazing. It's always a pleasure just viewing classic gaming gems like this Imagic letter. Very retro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 I beat that game too. I did not know that they sent out a letter. How did you get them to send you the letter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Well.. like he said, he sent them a letter. Did you send Imagic a letter as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 A few years back we had DA in the 2600 Deca at Twin Galaxies. Apparently the 84th wave was a bug they decided to fix in a later release of carts. I think at the 84th wave one could achieve around 200K or so. Wanting to increase my standings I whipped out a 2 million score (I had a fixed cart unbeknownst) Needless to say there were a few challenges to my score and a few comments on the fairness. I did agree to loan my cart out for those that wanted to play it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 I actually had a letter from SEGA regarding the level 10 BC message on Buck Rogers, but sadly, it got lost to the evil hand of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 I actually had a letter from SEGA regarding the level 10 BC message on Buck Rogers, but sadly, it got lost to the evil hand of time. Do you remember what it said? I was always curious about that. Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there a thread chalking it up to a programming fault? http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.p...ght=buck+rogers Doesn't shed much light on it.

rasty Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Amazing! I once wrote to Imagic as well because Demon Attack ended, and here's their reply!

Room 34 Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Nice Photoshop work, Rasty. I think you should auction that letter off on eBay. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 If we're going to the trouble to make a fake letter, let's really blow the roof off - make one announcing the exciting new Motorodeo from Atari; yours now from Atari Club for only $29.95! Or how about one from Selchow & Richter promoting their new line of educational VCS games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Yancey Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Hey! I've got one of the original Demon Attack letters too! I wrote to Imagic to ask if the demons gave up. They sent a reply just like yours and a poster also. I still have the letter today with all my Activision letters and posters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 Dear Thomas, first of all, congratulations to you for all your super records in all 4 dificulty levels in Starmaster. Unfortunately due to our busy christmas sales, I couldn't reply to you until today. I hope you will understand. As a reward for your great achievments, a few posters, a mini poster and a sticker are included with this letter. Close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 You can hardly read it, but its signed. Here is the signature after some Paint Shop work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 I know it's an old topic, but I wanted to find that Imagic letter again... since I just beat Demon Attack for the first time! (And I've owned the cart since it was new - so it took me long enough.) It didn't take as long as I'd expected. I'd forgotten it "only" ended at wave 84. Of course, the picture winked out before I noticed what my score was. Now to try it on Difficulty A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
