Yes, that is my boxed Atlantis II It is also the very one pictured in the AA archives. A few years ago I sent it to Alex to have the ROM dumped and he did an article on it in the Features sections Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 So you actually sent the game to Alex? That takes some trust I bet. Sending such a valuable game thru the mail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 That is one hell of a nice looking collection you’ve got there Doug! I am green with envy! Soooo ... Where do you live in Pittsburgh, anyway? I mean, where exactly? Street address and directions how to get there from I-79 would be particularly helpful. Also, your vacation schedule for the year would be nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the 5th ghost Posted December 26, 2003 Author Share Posted December 26, 2003 So you actually sent the game to Alex? That takes some trust I bet. Sending such a valuable game thru the mail? Well, I guess I felt comfortable enough! Plus, I had no way of dumping to ROM myself. I wanted to share the game and all the info I had with the rest of the folks at AtariAge so I felt the best way was to just send everything I had, letters and all, to Alex so he could dump the ROM and do the pictures and scans for the archives. He was very professional and I got everything back exactly the way I sent it. As for Atlantis II, as far as I know there are two other collectors that have the box. I also know of one other person with the letters from Imagic but not the box. Besides that, I know a couple people have just the cart. BTW, the Pitfall! boardgame looks like it was based on the cartoon. It is missing a couple small pieces but I found it at a thrift store Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't imagine losing something like that in the mail. Even with insurance, there would be no easy way to replace it. I wouldn't hesitate to trust either of the Al's also, but the post office on the other hand, I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw them.

video game addict Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 The post office can be slow sometimes, But I've not really had any lost or truly damaged items, out off 1000+ transactions. Just one or two instances where I would question the packing methods more than anything, lost packages should never happen. And of course there's always insurance. And yeah I wouldn't have any problems shipping something like this out to either of the Als, or CPU, or Mitch, there are some very upstanding individuals here! Doug, those are some great pics! Very neat and orderly! which all companies do you have complete CIB? Your Imagic should be close? M-network? PB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 You have a very nice looking collection, I can see at least 4 boxed 2600 games in your collection that I still need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2600 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Nice collection, the5thghost! My collection is nowhere as neat as yours but I do have Activision, Imagic and U.S Games complete..mostly loose. I plan to post pics of my collection once I sort everything out for a proper picture.

the 5th ghost Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 And what gets played out of all you have? Well, to be honest, I play all of it Some days I play 5200 games, sometimes I hook up my 7800 and play those games too but mostly I play the 2600. I even have my NES top loader hooked up for those days when I want to play those games. Technically I could put my 2600 back in its box and leave the 7800 hooked up next to the 5200 so I could play all 2600, 5200 and 7800 games but I just like the 2600 console so I leave it hooked up. As for the games themselves, I played every one of them. Most of the boxed games are not sealed but if I happen to have a sealed game I have a loose cart of the same game to play. I also enjoy playing the more obscure 2600 games in my collection like CtCW (I can get over 2000 points on it, anyone else?) For me, I like to have my games accesible so I always have the option to play whatever, whenever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 You also offered some pretty good deals one here for loose games like Beamrider and so forth. I'm still in need of Star Wars:Arcade Game for 2600. Do you still have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2600 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Please do let me know when you happen upon another copy of SW:Arcade. I didn't get Beamrider to work because I wasn't really trying hard enough in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
