Adrian M Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 As we all know, the AtariAge store began their "buy $50 worth of merchandise and get a free AA Holiday Cart" deal last night. Who here has placed the required order and reserved one? What did you buy? As for me, I added the following games to my collection to obtain the coveted Greeting Cart! : *Thrust+ Platinum *Asteroids DC+ Discuss!!

Mock Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I got Rubiks 3D for $50 and the Holliday Cart. $53.85 total. Been wanting to pick that up for a while now anyway, just needed a little nudge! Mock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Hi there! Who here has placed the required order and reserved one? What did you buy? Hm...

Atari Rescue Group Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I ordered a bunch of t-shirts for holiday gifts, a Test Cart, and some instruction manual binder pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I'd like to. Must see how the budget works out. Ordering in USD can be depressing for a Canadian. The price is always higher than it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeybastard Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I just ordered Thrust Platinum, Marble Craze and Feet of Fury(DC) for a total of $77 so I guess I'm getting a Holiday cart if there are any left. I really looking forward to all 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Use in hospitals, garages, oil rigs, sweat shops, the dark side of the moon and Gilligans Island is restricted and will be punishable to the full extent of the law of gravity. There is no dark side of the moon. There is the far side of the moon that always faces away from the Earth, but the entire surface of the moon does receive light as it orbits the planet. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Sounds like a lot of people are finally going to get Thrust+ It is never too late to start enjoying that game It is just to late to win anything for beating it Although if anyone else beats it, I would like to know. But I stilll doubt that will happen (Maybe with Thomas's permission I could make a contest for the "second" person to beat Thrust) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uosipa llamxew Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Just placed my order: Qb This Planet Sucks Marble Craze Foot Pedal Controller Coaxial Hookup & my free copy of Andrew's fine GreetingCart. I need to order again soon. My copy of Thrust is outdated. I suppose I'll be ordering again when Climber5 and Bounce are released. :-) I'm also thinking about getting my personalized GreetingCart put on a cart. It's going to be a good holiday.

SS Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I’m hoping to be able to place an order by the Dec. 31st deadline. I’d like to snag one of those “GreetingCarts” myself. “Thrust+” seems in the cards and perhaps either “Backfire” or “Alligator People” to go along with it.

Trade-N-Games Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I placed my order Sunday night for almost 1 of every 2600 game for sale on Atari Age. I hope that was good enough for a Christmas cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I do have a bit of a concern. Suppose someone who doesn't post here notices the holiday special and decides to order enough to get a GreetingCart? What if they're an unscrupulous seller on EBay? Suppose they decide to sell their GrettingCart? Would they have to give royalties to Andrew? Since the GreetingCart is not for general sale, I would assume that it should not be for resale in the first place. Just curious. I'm sure it's something that hasn't already been discussed.

Once you get it, it's yours to do what you want with it. Hide it in body cavities. Sell it. Microwave it. It's yours, get the idea! Anyone selling one is not, in my opinion, "unscrupulous". Just silly. Hell, reverse-engineer it for all I care... I'll even lend you an assembler! Cheers A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Interesting how you see it that way. I bet it will be a few weeks before we see a copy on EBay that has a BIN of $1000. It's happened with certain carts before. I don't plan to sell my copy though. It would have a lot of sentimential value that you just can't put a price on.

SS Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I bet it will be a few weeks before we see a copy on EBay that has a BIN of $1000. I'd say it's worth ... at least 50 bucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 If someone wants to sell one on eBay, that's fine by me, although hopefully it won't be misrepresented as we've seen with some games. There will probably be around 100 of these carts floating around out there when it's all said and done. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuttle130 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I "order" one for the low low cost of: 15-4K EPROMs 1-16K EPROM 15-32K EPROMs 5-5200 32K PCBs 1-2600 16K PCB FYI- I think you mean the cartridge is protected by federal law. I say this because its illegal for the military to actually operate with in the boundaries of the United States. And since martial law can only be declared by the President of the United States in a national emergency, thus allowing the military to perform operations in the US, by saying "Protected my martial law..." means its not protected at all. (and yes, I know it was just a joke...and quite funny at that!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
