Does Adventure II (and other homebrews sold here) come with a box?

I would think no, because it never mentions it includes a box, nor does it show one. However, on eBay, Adventure II comes with the box.

Boxes are often available with new 5200 homebrews until they sell out, then the homebrew is sold without a box and usually at a cheaper price. The one on Ebay - somebody bought it and they are re-selling it.

Ahh ok, so the Adventure II ones sold here have no box? :(

The initial run of Adventure II did include a box. Once the boxes ran out, though, any subsequent copies sold have not included a box. And as far as the boxed copies go, all the earlier copies sold were numbered, with a nice printed, gold foil sticker on the back of the box containing the unique number of that copy. I'm guessing this copy on eBay is not one of the numbered versions.

My Adventure II came with the works, and then some: box, manual, something in sealed envelope which I've never opened which reads "Feeling Lost? Help is at hand," some Atariage/Adventure II magnets, and IIRC a skeleton key, and possibly some other stuff I'm forgetting. Mine was one of the later, un-numbered copies.

My Koffi: Yellow Kopter came with just the manual, I think.

And yeah, gotta love those inflated prices. But it's not shocking, considering who's selling it.

Yes, you can buy it here:

It includes everything except for the box. The metal key is not pictured, but it also is included.

Yeah, either here on AtariAge without the box for $40, or on eBay for $200 CIB. I am in a hard place. I don't want a game with no box, but I don't think it's worth $160 more just for the box. I'd pay $30 more, that's it. Anyone selling one? :)

Yeah that seller has a lot of good stuff, but it is almost all at unsellable prices, if you ask me. Actually disgusts me.

The store is still active? The link on the front page had disappeared and I figured the store was closed until further notice.

But, on topic, Adventure II rocks!

And, I still have the included magnets on my fridge. :)

Go look in the marketplace forum. Jess is selling his boxed copy for $50. Topic is "fire sale 2008".

The link is wrong on the front page. It's atariage.com/store

But his doesn't include the goodies, just the box, instructions, and key. No maps or anything else.

Who cares about the box! The game is great. Why does everybody here plan to tuck the game away forever instead of playing it??? Whatever...

Maps? Oh, you mean the little index cards in the package. They're here too, along with a couple of refrigerator magnets. If a couple of silly little trinkets are that important to you, maybe I should charge extra for them! :D

Orders usually ship the next business day.
