joserb Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Stopped by my favorite antique store today to see if he'd bought any more used Atari games over the past two months or so. As usual, there were about 300 games on a shelf, mostly commons that I'd sifted through before. But a few caught my eye that I knew I didn't have: Hangman by Atari Checkers by Activision Cruise Missle by Froggo Kool Aid Man by M Network Gremlins by Atari and... Swordquest: Waterworld. I calmly picked up the games, paid my $6.36 ($1 per game plus tax) and came home. Two words: Boo Yeah!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Congratulations on your find! It's nice to see that games like Waterworld are still found in the wild and that they aren't *ALL* the domain of eBay. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Hey, really nice score, I just paid 80 bucks for a mint waterworld on ebay. One more thing, I LOVE your avitar. I have seen that movie about a thousand times. It is great. HEY EVERYONE GO GET UHF, ITS THE BEST MOVIE EVERY. Little do people know it is where some popular actors got their start. Michael Richards (Kramer) is a classic in that movie, not to mention fran dresher and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Wow...you lucky bastard! I'll have to keep checking the video store around here for Atari goodies. I've found some obscure Colecovision games there but nothing too rare for Atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joserb Posted October 25, 2003 Author Share Posted October 25, 2003 What's up with the "another orange Waterworld?" Were there two different colors to the label? Honestly, I don't know what color the one I found was/is. Someone had taken a pink highlighter and colored over the whole front label... bjk7382: You are right on about UHF!! I've probably seen it well over one hundred times. My dad and I used to watch it at least once a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 That was a great score! Hangman Picture Label and Kool Aid Man are not exectly dirt common either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 What's up with the "another orange Waterworld?" Were there two different colors to the label? I don't know...maybe...it seems pretty obvious to me that there are, but no one else seems to think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
