Klove Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Hey All! I thought this might be fun, so let's give it a go. Those of you who attended this year's E3 show, know that Activision was handing out 25th Anniversay T-Shirts and Silver Foil / Chocolate coins to whomever stopped by the booth. Needless to say, they ran out of these pretty fast. Lucky for me, I have my connections and managed to get '1' Box of these puppies. "The coins that is." I'm not sure, but I thik there may be 100 to a box. I haven't counted yet, but I will, shortly. Anyway, this got me to thinkin'... well.. we didn't actually have any sort of patch or reward system for the Anthology Playstation 2 project, or it's two (2) prototypes. I had hoped our Marketing group would get behind this idear, but they didn't. In the spirit of old Activision, I thought.. "Why not hand these out as a reward for those who are able obtain all of the game patches on the cork board?" So... Here's what I propose. I'll send out a Silver Foil / Chocolate coin and a numbered "Congrats!" letter on today's Activision Letterhead to everyone who's able to send me a picture of the following... - A TV Screen displaying the Activision Anthology corkboard with every patch unlocked on it. This giveaway will only last as long as I have these coins. As soon as I know how many coins I've got to give away, I'll go-ahead a and post more details. DO NOT START SENDING IN SNAPSHOTS RIGHT AWAY, AS I WILL IGNORE AND THROW AWAY ALL OF THEM!!!! I'll let you know the date as to when you can start flooding my Acti Mailbox. I should have this ready to go VERY SHORTLY. Thanks 'n' Post Ya' Again Soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Alright! I had already unlocked 99% of the patches just for the fun of it. Now they'll have a purpose! Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenwood Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Gotta say I loved Retro stuff at this years E3. That's what brought me back inot the fold. Spent 3 hours playing games at the Retro Exhibit. I even got one of those Activision Choco Coins, but gave it to my 3yr daughter when I got home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian M Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Cool contest idea. Sadly, those of us who hate Sony and its game systems will have to sit this one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjk7382 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Sadly' date=' those of us who hate Sony and its game systems will have to sit this one out.[/quote'] Well, that would be your problem and I don't think we all need to hear about it AGAIN, and again, and again.... Give it up dude, nobody wants to hear what you are preaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.FoodMonster Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 See, is this NOT reason enough to ban that troller? Anyways, looks like I have my work set out, I only have 6 patches unlocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolenta Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Whoops, I misread Ken's original post. I don't need a coin. The one I had at E3 melted in my pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedrock Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Hey guys, I'm very new to this Atari Age Forum and have a question. Can someone tell me a little about the 25th Activision Anniversary patch(s)? Is this worth getting a whole new system for or should I stick with the Atari 2600? Thanks, Bedrock _______________________ I'm very impressed with this Atari following.....I had know idea! This whole thing makes me feel like a kid at Christmas again! By the way I just purchased "Thrust" Platinum edition as well as Asteroids DC+....Outstanding [/u] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
