Aaah, I'm sure we can still do better! Let's show some more of this cool stuff. I raise you all by one Hubot :D

 

 

 

Cheers,

Marco

 

That reminds me of those robots Nolan built after he left Atari. Does anybody have one of those?

Ah, but the Hubot (with built-in Atari 2600) does exist (and is residing in the room next to me)! :)

 

Cheers,

Marco

Cool,was that thing for sell to the public?

There must be something to shock you.

 

What about this one:

Now don't tell me you own it.

 

Yet...

Was that for the 2600? I never realised that it even existed. Where did you get the pics from? ;)

Great post, Marco. It's fun to see so many unusual items. My two cents...

 

Not sure how rare these are, but I don't recall seeing them anywhere else:

Data Age Mindscape Record

Marco made reference to a CommaVid letter that discussed the number of MagiCards and Video Lifes produced. Here is the letter and other correspondence from CommaVid. These items are just pieces of paper but it is interesting to watch collectors handle them as if they were made of crystal.

Not sure how many BOXED River Patrols there are. Only one I've seen in addition to mine was at the CGE museum. The significance of this one is that it came directly from Tiger Electronics. The receipt serves as an excellent Certificate of Authenticity. Yes, this is a plug. I'm planning to sell my Tigervision titles in the not-too-distant future.

Back to correspondence, this letter from Answer Software is a product of my efforts in 1984 to acquire Gauntlet and Confrontation...

...which I was never able to do. UNTIL, at my request, CPUWIZ made this for me:

As far as I know, it is the only one he made, and it IS my most prized Atari 2600 possession.

I am guessing that more than 20 Video Lifes were made reading this paper. It would seem like it is more likely that 350 Video Life's were made reading that paper. :ponder:

I spoke to Joe Santulli about this after he and Sean and John acquired the CommaVid copyrights and materials. It was the composer of that letter, J.M. Bornstein himself, who told them no more than 20 were actually made.
