Technosis Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I recently picked up a bunch of 8-bit titles including a Track and Field cart among others (including Bounty Bob ) I'm curious if Track and Field was available only as a text label cartridge? Note: I may end up trading most if not all of these off if I can replace them with floppy disk versions. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h128/tec...ri8bitcarts.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Yep that's the only label I've ever seen for T&F. It's pretty hard to find, I don't think I've ever seen the box for it. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
else Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 (edited) Wow, can't believe I have something Tempest doesn't have!!! :) It's not exactly in the best condition, but here it is. The box is pretty much the same size as the Atari 2600 version (about 2 to 3 inches thick to hold the cartridge and controller). Those white spots in the middle are from my camera's flash....

else Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I was just comparing it to my Atari 2600 box. I never noticed just how similar they are. The back of them are identical except for the screenshot. The front of them are very similar as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zektor800 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I just got ahold of this one too. The controller looks pretty cool! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=290040805490 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtrappomegranate Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Zektor, you got a great bargain there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Wow, can't believe I have something Tempest doesn't have!!! :) I've never been into boxes. Usually they're too hard to find and too expensive. The T&F boxes (2600 and 8-bit) seem to be particularly hard to find. I think because they were oversized due to the controller and people threw them out. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zektor800 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 (edited) Zektor, you got a great bargain there! I have my moments It certainly is getting more difficult to collect than a few years ago however. Finding games in the wild in my area is pretty much non-existent nowadays (I live only a few miles away from Digital Press!) as there are many collectors around these parts. I do not think I have ever seen any Atari 8-bit equipment or carts around here since the XE was sold in stores. Now I have no other option than ebay (and the occasional trade), and the amount of collectors across all systems has grown considerably.
