Rampage Atari 7800 prototype

I see prototype, I post here. Probably way too much money, but it is neat

I’ve never seen an Atari 7800 Activision proto, but for what it’s worth, that cart shell is an Atari case and that circuit board is an Atari production board. Nothing special about either one.

 

It looks to me like someone got a regular production release cart, desoldered the chips, soldered in sockets, and a bunch of cross cross jumper wires so it would work with an eprom. (a 27c1000 at that)

 

Short version, buyer beware.
Looks fake as hell to me.

I am a prototype newbie. I couldn't afford it anyway. Sorry for waiting so long to reply, I was busy. How does the seller get so much positive feedback if they sell fake items?

On the contrary, that looks like a 100% legit proto to me (I've never seen a 7800 Activision proto, but I've seen a few late era 2600 ones).  But I'm going to guess that it's the exact same as the final version from the date and screenshots.

We all can agree that it is overpriced.
