ATARIPITBULL Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 I received my 2600 Swordquest Waterworld (MIB) in the mail today and what was weird was that when I opened the door to check the mail the box flew off the ground and into my arms, then my whole body started to glow, or at least I thought all that stuff happened, but what I kind of thought was strange was when I opened the box I noticed that the instruction manual is not like the other swordquest games, it was a fold out instead of a book. Is swordquest Waterworld the only other Atari made game with a fold out instruction manual or are there other ones? :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Dig Dug is that way too. I think a lot of the '83 games were done this way, as Atari was starting to cut corners. (A fold-out was cheaper to produce than a multi-page stapled book.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 I own a complete copy of Waterworld and I can assure you that my manual is the same way-foldout style. I remember Child World liquidating their Atari games in 1987 to make room for more NES stuff and there were about 20 copies of WW for $1.99! Too bad I only bought one copy, but I was only 12 so I didn't have that much money anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted June 13, 2002 Author Share Posted June 13, 2002 Today I opened my copy of Disneys Sorcerers apprentice and it too has a instruction manual that folds out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATARIPITBULL Posted June 15, 2002 Author Share Posted June 15, 2002 What kills me is that I could have bought over a hundred and twenty boxed copies of this game for the money I paid for my one boxed copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
