Atarinuts Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 I just recently aquired this Data Age record with an Encounter at L-5 game MIB for $20. The guy I bought it from said it was a give-away at the store when you bought any Data Age game. Does anyone know if this is true? Was this a good deal or are these pretty common? I've never seen one but that doesn't mean alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Yep, that's true. They're pretty hard to find but I've seen them sell as low as $10-15 on eBay. Of course I've also seen them up to $100.

Atarinuts Posted June 28, 2003 Author Share Posted June 28, 2003 ROFL Thanks Alex!! Now that I got to hear it, it's more AWESOME than I thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 I had one and sold it in a lot on ebay years ago. That sucks. I never had the game Encounter at L-5 tho. It seems to me I got mine at a store or in a magazine or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaXpress Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 This record was a giveaway through mail and some stores. Not enough of us kids took advantage of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfnmadness Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 Seems to me that record was in one of the magazines of the time. Electronic Games maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I've always wanted one of those records ever since I first read about it when I was a kid, but have never found one. Nice score :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 That is the kind of stuff I like to buy!! I have almost all the Atari lp records, but I did not know that Data Age had one too. Now something else to ad to my list of things to look out for. Very nice buy!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I'm going to stray slightly off topic here-- So how many of those LP Atari records are there? I've got the record for Asteroids&Missile Command (MC came with booklet.)Are these records listed here at Atari Age? ....and yes the Data Age record is cool,and I've missed picking one up several times off of e(vil)-bay.

CPUWIZ Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I am surprised, when I offered one for sale a few months ago not a single person was interested in it. Needless to say, I still have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keir Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Damn. I thought I just needed Frankenstein's Monster to complete my Data Age collection. Now I need this too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Seems to me that record was in one of the magazines of the time. Electronic Games maybe? I don't remember it being included in any magazines, and I got most of them. I'll guarantee it wasn't in EG, since I got every issue of that mag no matter what, and it probably wasn't in Electronic Fun or Video Games either, as I could find those regularly too. Most likely would be Joystik, but I wouldn't bet on it. You might just be thinking of the ads which showed the record pretty clearly IIRC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I'm sure that the ad did run in Electronic Games sometime in the Fall of 1982. My copies are mostly lost so I'm just going on memeory here, but I'm sure that thay ran a full page ad. Video Games was my favorite mag of the time, few remember that one.

moycon Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Most likely would be Joystik, but I wouldn't bet on it. No I dont think it was Joystik. I had the record. But never collected Joystik. I honestly cant remember where I got my copy. But its possible they were handing them out in stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about 98% certain they weren't ever included inside of magazines, unless the mag was not a videogame mag. Me, I got mine by mailing Data Age and asking for it; I never saw it in stores around where I lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Perpetua Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 The Data Age record way a give-away promo item. I received one from the toy store where I bought my Atari games back in 1982. Much like The Air Hocky game for e-Reader, but in smaller quanties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this record, and I don't remember getting it with a Data Age cartridge. I am not sure, but it may have been a freebie at the store that sold Data Age cartridges. The only Data Age cartridge I bought was BUGS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
