Albert Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I need some boxes/manuals to scan at high resolution for a project we're working on. The boxes/manuals are: Star Wars: The Arcade Game box Missile Command box Millipede red box SpaceMaster X-7 manual Plaque Attack box These need to be scanned at high resolution, and I would prefer to scan them myself. The front of the box needs to be in excellent condition. I will pay for shipping, and of course send the box(es) back once we've scanned them. Once the project is completely, I'll also send you a finished cart for each box/manual you sent in.. Please send me a PM if you can help out. Thanks! ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 A few notes: The Missile Command box should be Atari, not Sears. Please be sure there are no old price tags or stickers covering the artwork or logos. If a red Millipede box is unavailable, a silver one or color version of the manual would also work.

high voltage Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) I could buy this Millipede on eBay, if no luck on your end. Transaction between buying and shipping would be a month, maybe a bit longer, as I am in Europe. ( I wouldn't scan it myself http://www.ebay.de/itm/MILLIPEDE-ATARI-2600-GAME-SHRINKWRAPPED-CX2611P-NEW-OLD-STOCK-1988-SUNNYVALE-/272292746964?hash=item3f65e996d4:g:L7EAAOSwx-9W1IvR Let me know.

Cambouis de l'Atari Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I have the red millipede, but I guess it's a bit too worn for your project :-/ https://cambouisdelatari.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/red-millipede.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the one we're looking for, ideally, is this one: The illustration is less obscured. This, the silver box, or even the color version of the manual would also work. There's a nice one at AtariMania, but it's not high enough resolution (and is watermarked). Edited July 6, 2016 by Nathan Strum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 No need for anyone to buy any games on eBay, although the thought is appreciated. I can do that myself if need be. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I have decent Missile Command box & manual, though there is a piece of clear tape on the box over MAN that holds together a rip on the flap. If it'll work let me know. Interesting that the lady's head extends outside the picture on the manual, while the explosion does on the box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graphic is the important element, so the tape should not be an issue. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Those will do nicely! Just need a Plaque Attack box and a SpaceMaster X-7 manual. (This is the weirdest game of Bingo I've ever played... but everyone's gotta have a hobby.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCallister Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I believe I have a Spacemaster X-7 manual of acceptable quality, but it will be 4 days until I can confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I have a Spacemaster X-7 manual in pretty good shape.
