Keeping Old Scores.

[Atariboy2600]

For two decades now I been collecting and saving old and used Atari manuals and in many case I found in them old score writings by the original owners of the game and I found alot! And in them are still in there old dated with the score here's some of the scores from three manuals from Coleco Donkey Kong, Atari Log Book even some one put down a Missil Command Score on the back of a Q*bert manual And dont worry I black out the owner's names for safety resion;) And I know Im not alone in this so is there anyone else with used Atari and even some Colecovision and Intellivision manuals with old scores in them?

Many Atari 5200 manuals actually had sections reserved for score keeping. My Atari 5200 collection started with a hand-me-down console with games, and many of the manuals had scores written in by the former owner and his at-the-time girlfriend. I may still have a few of those.

Yep, I find 'em quite a bit. Actually, i kind of prefer to have manuals with stuff in them. It's kind of like having a suitcase with travel stickers on it, you know? Much more interesting in a collection than some steril, pristine new cart or manual. When I find one with scores or names or whatever, i know I've found a game that's been played and enjoyed. Kind of makes me feel good to give it a home, you know?

I did write down my scores, then my mom sold my collection. So, someone has my memories when I was 9 yrs old

I keep my scores on a seperate sheet of paper.

So do I, but I still have my original score sheet from the 80's. Of course, now I keep my scores in a spreadsheet.

Yknow.. I might just be forgetful, but I think the only game I wrote down scores for was for 5200 Joust. My manual (if I ever find it) has tons of scores written all over the back for it
