Oops sorry about that, who did you get yours from Just so that two people don't own the same game

[Wonder007]

I got mine from Sly

Thanks Now, are there really 7 boxes or are there a couple of repeats

[Marco]

There are probably more than 7 boxed ones (heck, how common is that box?!). If I'm not mistaken, Joe Santuli has one, and I wouldn't be surprised if the CGE guys kept an extra one (or two) for a rainy day.

(waits for CPU to appear to say that there are only 6 boxed ones, tops)

Cheers,
Marco

LOL, that is what I was told, 6 came from the garage of the CommaVid guys, yours and Cassidy's were obviously not part of that lot.

EDIT: I believe Sean sold his for sure and I think Joe did the same thing.

Hmm, So there are 8 boxes then for sure. Interesting. By a method of ruling people out I think Rick got his from Sean, and if Joe did sell his I have no idea to who though.

Did Tom ever sell his? Who did he get his from anyhow?

I think the Generalhellfire guy got his from Atariager. The reason I say that is because Atariager was selling the Video Life cart, instructions, and Repo Box and Generalhellfire has the same thing.

Interestingly enough, I asked GeneralHellfire where he got the box from, because it didn't come from me and he said it didn't come from Tom (I gave him the full name and he didn't recognize it).

hmm, so I guess he got his cart from someone else then

Rick

So I guess you have 2 video life carts then. Pretty cool

[Rick Weis]

NO, hmmm... who did buy that loose w/manual one, i think it was (Steve) landsmarra (sp?) but i could be wrong. i know steve bought a lot from us that year.

Rick

[video game addict]

And landsmarra has since sold his to another member here a little while back.

[homerwannabee]

Wow that cart seems to have changed hands more times than the Globetrotter cart. Also does anyone know what member got Steve's cart. Is that member already up there or are they one of the previous 16?

It changed hands again. I now have riffraff's cart and manual.

Congrats and welcome the club . I have this feeling though that you may have broken your $450 record for a cart .

So you bought it, congrats. Very expensive chunk of plastic....but soooo very very rare and cool

*bows* Thanks. I am simultaneously cooler and geekier than ever before. It is fantastic.

@homer It was indeed a biiiiiiiit more than $450.

[PingvinBlueJeans]

Irwin Gaines (CommaVid co-founder/programmer) has one (CIB). I'd assume that the other two CommaVid guys (John Bronstein and Joseph Biel) probably have one also, but I haven't spoken to them to confirm this.

According to Dr. Gaines, only about 20 copies of Video Life were made...so it looks like they're all pretty much accounted for.

If the other two guys have one, wouldn't that go over 20???

[Rick Weis]

if i was a betting man, i would bet that atariager don't have his anymore. i would also bet Joe still has one. that would total 20 counting the other 2 people
