recoil Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) I was wondering if this plastic case was an official Atari product, as i haven't been able to find it in the catalogue. Also are they a common thing you see. Edited January 19, 2008 by recoil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodos8 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Its an official product, but hard to find nowadays. http://www.atariage.com/magazines/magazine...;CurrentPage=20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATARIPITBULL Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Just incase you wanted to see what the box that the carrying case comes in looks like recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jek Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Just incase you wanted to see what the box that the carrying case comes in looks like recoil. I love the one, but it is a good example for an unready Atari product This case lacks in the fact, that if you carry this cool product, the logo stands upside down... see the pic: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j74/recoilrecoil/1n2.jpg and imagine running around with the case, trying to look cool... wow....

Prodos8 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 These must have been made later in the 2600's life cycle as they're always pictured with a vader system. Whenever I'd take mine somewhere, as a kid, I usually just carried the 2600 loose and used a brown grocery sack for the games & accessories.

thomasholzer Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) I used to have one of those, and it's a copy of the Magnavox Odyssey 1972 carry case (also notice the upside down label) Edited January 21, 2008 by thomasholzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trade-N-Games Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I got mine about 8 years ago from an Atari employee and it was gift at a company thing and inside was a new vader system. I still have it just like i got it. I did not get the outer box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I dig is the picture with the cool red station wagoon that the white bread family are getting into on the back of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodos8 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 They always show mom & dad sitting around watching junior play while enjoying themselves. I don't know what dimension this happened in, but I was lucky to get time in on the main TV as my mom hated watching and especially listening to me playing Atari. Either I didn't play or moved to my room and used a 13" B&W TV with the sound way down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I know what you mean! if I played something like Yar's Revenge for more than an hour, my dad would rip the power cord out the wall and yell at me to go do something else.

Mats90245 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I got mine about 8 years ago from an Atari employee and it was gift at a company thing and inside was a new vader system. I still have it just like i got it. I did not get the outer box. I have one thats unopened. Youre saying this box has the case AND a system? I dont think so. But Im the guy responding to a nearly 10 year old post, so what do I know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I'm sure they meant they got it as a used gift/purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
