CPUWIZ Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 :!: To my shock, I actually received Eli's Ladder in the mail today. I honestly didn't think Digitalicious would come through, but figured it was only a $4.00 risk I was taking. I'll have my wife take a picture of me holding the game when she gets home later tonight. Holy shit, you're f*cking joking. For any of you who think sku_u is pulling a stunt, he doesn't own the cart. So, let's see the picture man.

holygrailvideogames.com Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 No instructions. I would send it back and ask for a refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saikyo Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Like I said before I knew there was a great chance of it being real and here it is! BTW Digitalicious did you place the cart in that wierd position to make us skeptical or was it just coincidence? Either way you are a very generous person and not in a million years would I give away such a rare find! I take everything I said about the photos all back! I know (not think) that you own all the other carts too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mock Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 This is just hillarious...humans are strange creatures... the eyes in that pic scare me...lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Jesus H. Christmas on toast. Either this was a hoax by some well-to-do collector and that was the reward for falling for it, or this was real from some don't-care-about-rarity-or-value newbie who was feeling particularly generous. Or Sku_u was co-opted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Is this for real? Wow - If this is real, Digitalicious deserves a Stan award for Atari generosity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophero Sly Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Here's the picture as promised. Someone gives you a $1200 cart and you can't even crack a smile? Of course, I don't believe any of this for one second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTemplar Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I don`t believe it ; this is a joke, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 What I want to know is what happened to the other rarities in the picture... EDIT: I also want to know why the label of the cart in the picture is suspiciously similar to the one in the AA database, even in its flaws (which also explains why the top left of the cart was covered up in all the close-ups.) Yes, I'm being horribly cynical, but heck, it's fun being conspiratorial sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I still strongly believe this is fake. But I'll play along anyways. Can you post a screenshot of the gameplay? And no, I don't mean connecting your computer up to the TV and taking a picture. This is getting fun... -J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 And a close-up of the label too... that'd help persuade us non-believers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I still strongly believe this is fake. But I'll play along anyways. Can you post a screenshot of the gameplay?

The endlabel is slightly worn, but otherwise this cart is much cleaner and the label in much better shape then the one in the AA DB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I think the problem here is that people here have a hard time believing that such generosity exists in the quantities required to just hand over a $1200 cart for the price of shipping. Let's face it; for the vast majority of us it would require the jaws of life and some heavy explosives to pry it our of our cold dead hands -- even if it is a crap game, so to even think about simply giving it away without threats to our life or sex with a hot celeb is inconceivable.

Spirantho Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Indeed... I do have a hard time in believing someone is willing to just send a $1200 to a complete stranger. In my position, had I been Digitalicious, and wasn`t bothered about the cart or the money it was worth, I would have auctioned it and given the proceeds to charity, rather than send it to someone who I knew nothing about whatsoever. Of course, in reality, although I like to think I'm generally a generous person, I suspect that the only charity I'd give it to if I found myself in this position would be the "Charity for Ian's Atari Collection". Which, incidentally, is a very deserving cause should anyone wish to donate.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
