ItsAtariTime Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Why do these repro's keep showing up without being listed as a repro? Is it the sellers fault or the makers for putting it together and selling it? Seems to me, that both are guilty...anyway..here it is.. http://cgi.ebay.com/Halloween-Texas-Chains...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwackery Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hey gang, let's all read Walter Benjamin's "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" - http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/...ge/benjamin.htm - and then have a discussion. It'll be swell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madhatter667 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I think I saw a double ended cart like that...Texas Chainsaw and Halloween... although the auction stated it as a reproduction cartridge. The funny thing is that it still shot up in price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss 2600 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Sorry to bring this old thread up again, but I saw this cartridge on eBay today. It is Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre double ended cartridge that says "xonon 1983". The seller doesn't seem to know much about it. It is not listed on the Atari Age site, so I'm assuming it's the repro mentioned above, but wondered what the experts here thought. I don't know if I'm allowed to post the site but the listing is called "rare halloween double ender atari game." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn't know any better, I'd see that and think it was made IN 1983. Repros should be clearly marked as repro's on the front, IMHO....something like larger colored text that says "Reproduction made 2010 by Good Time Games" or something like that.

The copyright is part of the plastic in raised letters on the shell. It is not on the label. I have not inspected Shawn's Label up close. Knowing Shawn though it probably has some type of Repro Identity. If you been around Vintage games, even a short while, you would know it was not real anyways.

SoulBlazer Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 My apoligies, I wasn't trying to single out Shawn with that -- I was just saying that idealy ANY AND ALL games made as Repro should be marked in a clear manner like that right on the front label. That way, no one can pull any fast ones on EBay (unless they don't bother with a pic) and the person knows exactly what they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would love to see CPUWIZ put an Alligator eating the Hozer head on his carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
