MegaManFan Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Are there any extra boxes? One thing always seems to get crushed in my luggage and this time it was Bristles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Just got my bristles, really nicely done. Really looks and feels like a vintage release. Can't wait to see flip & flop and boulder dash 2 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 So was I the only one that thought they put the serial number stickers in a bad spot? I know it is nice to have it "sealed" but getting a reproduction and having to take off and move a sticker just to get the game out isn't that cool. I just ended up moving it to the bottom flap of the box. (Mine is either 13 or 73. They made their 1 look like a 7. But I am pretty sure they haven't sold 70+ copies of this yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is #9 of 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggystar Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Having the sticker on the box is bad for those of us that want to PLAY the game, but GOOD for the collectors that want tobe able to prove their box was never opened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but you can easily open it from the bottom and leave the sticker intact as I've already done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 yea, opens fine from the bottom, sticker stays nicely intact. No complaints there. LOL haven't played it yet. Heck, haven't even had time to play my stonix yet, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyChris Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Yeah, I thought the sticker was in a bad place. It would have been better on the cartridge, or somewhere else on the box. I didn't think to open it from the bottom, because I thought the cartridge was only accessible from the top, like most 5200 games. I pretty much destroyed it getting it off, and then where do you put it? It's a shame because they did such a nice job with the box and label. I find the game almost unplayable with an analog controller, looks like it needs a digital controller. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I found it pretty difficult with the 5200 controller, but that is what the redemption adapter is for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classics Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Does the bristles manual actually say how to display your serial number? I dont have my copies yet so I havent seen the book. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Does the bristles manual actually say how to display your serial number? I dont have my copies yet so I havent seen the book. Steve Are you saying that the serial number on each box is programmed into each game cartridge? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holygrailvideogames.com Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Mine is #80 out of 100. I bought it from someone who went to the show. I too wish that the sticker wasn't on the box. I prefer to have my boxes without stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classics Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Allan, Thats the way I prepared them, I dont know if they actually got manufactured that way yet though. I am thinking they were because in the announcement by Atari2600.com they mentioned the unique serial number. "Each copy of BRISTLES has an internal serial number within the game code which matches the external number." In case its not in the manual, heres a clue on finding this egg: you need two controllers plugged in to find the code. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H1HummerAlpha Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Placed our order for one yesterday. Just left a message with Atari2600.com regarding the choice of serial number. I asked to have an 8 in it. 8 means or equates fortune in Chinese. It's been super so far :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FABombjoy Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Mine arrived DOA, unfortunately. Still no reply from atari2600.com on a replacement. Oh well, it's only money, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
