jahfish Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 ít was only about 10 bucks for a dart vader model and two original sticks, that's what most people here invest for a single joystick. that dirty cart with (nearly) no labels on it? it nearly landed in the trash .... a closer look on the cart made me more curious. though you can't see much, i thought that i hadn't seen that kind of typo placement on regular carts i know. i could hardly read the upper line ..... "REKOR ARABALARI" and sudenly a turkish friend of mine asked me what i had to do with car racing and where from i knew these turkish words. i had just recieved the confirmation for my thought that it would be a turkish cart! it's in terrible condition though ... but i hope albert has the time to add the title in the database greetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x6d696168 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Wow, thats cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahfish Posted October 29, 2003 Author Share Posted October 29, 2003 it's only half as cool as it could be, due to the condition. that's why i decided to turn the whole post into a contest! so the big question is: what made the game look so crappy and what did the kids play with the cart (besides videogames)?

sku_u Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 what made the game look so crappy and what did the kids play with the cart (besides videogames)? The answer is hashish and hide the salami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jahfish Posted October 29, 2003 Author Share Posted October 29, 2003 the latest guess is that turkish kids are playing a lot of ice hockey and due to the high prices for pucks they rather use atari carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mock Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I dunno what they did to it, but man it took a beating!

Mock Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 REKOR = record in Turkish? you sure that is Turkish? If so, anything in the PAL world that would translate over to "record" something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanman Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 HOCKEY THEY PLAYED HOCKEY WITH IT> RUBBING ALONG THE CEMENT WOULD MESS UP THE LABEL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Primus Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Well, judgeing by the gouges in the label, it looks like is was on the floor for quite some time. Maybe someone used it to prop up the short leg of a table? Ian Primus ian_primus@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindfield Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 it's only half as cool as it could be, due to the condition. that's why i decided to turn the whole post into a contest! so the big question is: what made the game look so crappy and what did the kids play with the cart (besides videogames)? Frankly, it looks like it was used as a miniature workbench. Then again, the rust on the screw tells me that maybe it could have been used as a urinal puck... (In unison: Eww!)

HermChase Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Zzz... Supposed to be sleeping, but... Found this.... http://www2.egenet.com.tr/mastersj/difficu...mbiguities.html Shows that "Arabalari" means "the cars, her car, their car, or their cars", so, it is a racing game....Record of The Cars?

krisjohn Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I'm not sure about the scratches, since they aren't on the case, just the label, but the dirt looks suspiciously like the result of a heavy smoker in the household, possibly two.

Dolt Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 They were short on toilet paper that day. The scratches were created by the un-bent wire coathanger used to pull out the thing that was clogging the john that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirantho Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Can`t say what it was used, for, but I can say the Digital Press guide says it's Pole Position, made by Me-Ta sombody or other. Rarity 7, apparently. Nice find..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
