Nateo Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 I ordered a boxed Air-Sea Battle from 4Jays, and guess what I got? The original flip-top box with the manual and cartridge! Oh yeah! Please tell me that with the box, this is a 5 rarity! If it is, this will be my first rare game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquid_sky Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 The game may be somewhat common, but arnt the gatefold boxes rare finds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 A little rare than the regular boxes, but not really hard to find. I found a 03 Starship and Streetracer the other day. The hardest ones to find are Starship and Basic Math. If it's a number label with a colored boarder then it's fairly rare. It took me forever to find a colored boarder 03 Starship.

atari70s Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 id say basic math is the hardest cause even though star ship is hard to find its more popular than basic math Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 Obviously you've never been ot one of my Basic Math parties. They're a blast! Sometimes we get so crazy we even break out Fun with Numbers! Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 Huh... I always wondered if people actually played those games. But then, I pull out Word Zapper from time to time... --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari70s Posted September 2, 2001 Share Posted September 2, 2001 Tempest , Next time you have a party remember me hehe. how many of us really play those children games (CTW ones)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 2, 2001 Share Posted September 2, 2001 I played them at least once to test them. I have a prototype for almost all of them so I played them to see if there were any differences, but that's about it. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just EPROM versions of released games that were floating around internally at Atari. Lots of them are original launch titles housed on boards with revision dates newer than the titles in question. So there is no way they can be true prototypes unless you consider all games on EPROMs that were floating around Atari to be prototypes regardless of circumstance.

Tempest Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 That's true, but I consider them prototypes because they're EPROM's on Atari boards. if you only consider early versions to be prototypes then I have 30 or so. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
