MattyXB Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Hello, I have a question. Are only Boxes release in Japan? I have only see one time a Game from Japan. But most I see only Boxes. Or look the games like the USA releases? PS: I have won finally a Raiders of the Lost Ark Japanese Box. Great, I hope all work fine, and I get it soon. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...indexURL=0&rd=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Wow!! Expensive Matty hu??? I remember about 3 or 4 years ago someone was selling a bunch of those boxes on ebay. I don't remember them going for that much....but at the same time I don't know if I ever stuck around to check the end of the auctions.

MattyXB Posted June 11, 2002 Author Share Posted June 11, 2002 Yes, a bit expensive. But I am a great Raiders of the Lost Ark Fan, and I like that game so much. I have all official variants, the Prototype, and hope to get soon a Brazil cartridge complete with box and manual. And now too this Japanese Box. So are there games release in Japan or only Boxes? PS: the same seller has too some other japanese boxes. But I don't what them. To expensive. I need only this Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Marco(2) Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Hi Matty, I think there are only Japanese boxes and manuals. As far as I know the carts are the regular US releases. Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyXB Posted June 11, 2002 Author Share Posted June 11, 2002 Hi Matty, I think there are only Japanese boxes and manuals. As far as I know the carts are the regular US releases. Cheers, Marco I have a picture (Jah Fish has post it here for a time), there you see a Defender from Japan (I think). On the back is a big white sticker with 3 red letters. Now I need the manual and game too. But a box is better then nothing. Matty, i just got a atari 2800 swrinkwraped Raiders of the Lost Ark..... part of me wants to take the swrinkwrap off just to see what's inside! but i just can't do it!! Take Care, Rick What do you want for the shrinkwraped box? :wink: Ok I know you are a collector, and you sell nothing from your collection. But I can try it. Maybe you have more shrinkwraped boxes from Japan, and this one is not so importent. I pay good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 I love the way these 2800 boxes look, I also have a Raiders of the lost Ark 2800 box unused and I also have an Asteroids mint in the box & sealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know, that you have a Box from Raiders of the Lost Ark (2800). First I have think, that you maybe sell this now, because the name from the seller is badlittledog. And I have think, thats a good name for Ataripitbull, both dogs. But now its seams, that is not yours. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahfish Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 japanese carts are ntsc cartridges. those have just an extra sticker on the back with the game name in japanese (see example / defender) :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Weis Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Matty, if i do get another SW 2800 game we might work some kind of trade out! Take care, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 No Mattyxb, I am not " Badlittledog" but I have bought stuff from him before. :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 Matty, if i do get another SW 2800 game we might work some kind of trade out! Take care, Rick Thank you very much. Can't wait till you get an other Atari 2800 SW game. I hope you get one soon. Ok, they are very Rare. But maybe you and I have luck and you find one soon. :wink: I am very happy when I can get it, when I find one, I will tell you. I hope too, that I get soon the other Raiders of the Lost Ark game from Brazil complete, and then this japanese Box. I will put pictures from them on my Raiders of the Lost Ark site.

slapdash Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Jah: Do you know for sure that ALL carts (at least from Epoch) have those stickers on the back? Because if I'm reading the sticker right, it might mean "Demo use" (not sure about the "use" part, but "demo" is spelled out "phonetically"), which would be odd...

slapdash Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 I mean, do ALL Epoch 2600 carts have that sticker on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 I bought about 15 different Japanese boxes at the CGE 2000 show. I'm trying to find them, so we can post them on Atari Age. Cheers, Smitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahfish Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 i was tld that once, but i can confirm this 100% ..... i've seen similar stickers on brand new 2800s thought .... same red white japanese explanations ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I take it you only have the one, or have only seen the one? Dang, makes me wish I'd seen that eBay auction with an Epoch cart sooner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahfish Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 ok, i got new infos ... the sticker on the back is from a demo cartridge. you were right. the regular ones come without stickers (only on the box) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 So, not all of my Japanese skills have left me yet... Now let's see if I can find any of the games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
