sharkman009 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Can anyone tell me what a Atlantis II game is worth? I received this game in a competition in the late 70's. I was told recently that it is very rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Well, to repeat a few other AAers: "pics or it didn't happen." we are a visual bunch. Have to be able to see it in order to tell you what it's worth. Do you have a box, any kind of letter, can you show it working? AX (P.S.

RangerG Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 The contest was in the early 80s. If it's legit, the cart is very valuable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only differences between the original and the Atlantis II was a computer label on the box and Atlantis II the game is a hell of a lot faster than the original. They did send us a snorkel kit, t-shirt and some other stuff but I wore the shirt until it was trashed and didnt keep the other stuff.

The score font that they used for Atlantis II is different than the one they used for Atlantis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never noticed the difference but the again I havent played it in 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Cool Sharkman, can't wait to hear the outcome. If you can take a picture of the television while you have it on to show the score Also a pic of the cart wouldn't hurt, helps to prove it is not a fake (tampered label, etc..)

Crazy Climber Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Oh by the way - anything else besides the shirt/snorkel that you may have kept can help prove it's authenticity. Original paperwork, box with sticker, even some photo's of you in the tournament? Whatever you can find helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkman009 Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 I found the game cartridge but I dont have the letter that came with it. I ordered a console off of e-bay and when it gets here I'll download some pictures of the game screen. Does anybody know how many others of the Atlantis II games have been found. I cant remember because its been so long but I think when they sent these out to us that 13 people were sent the new games. Theres probably quite a few more that people at Imagic probably made for themselves or their kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres probably quite a few more that people at Imagic probably made for themselves or their kids. Grats on finding the game and ordering a system for it. A lot of people are going to be interested in buying it from you....you should post everything in a new thread in the Marketplace forum here when you are ready. In the meantime, though, I'd urge you to take some pics of the game and anything else you DID find with it and upload them here for people to see. Pictures are going to be needed for people to believe this is the real deal, and the more you have the more money you can get for it, so it's worth your time. If you don't have a digital camera, buy one -- it's well worth your money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I don't need any pics I'll give you 20 bucks for it without the hassle of posting any pics. Seriously, would like to see pics of anything you have with it, Are you planning on puting it up for sale here in the marketplace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkman009 Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Im not going to sell it. I know its worth some money because of the rarity of it but I have a son who is twelve and he's into gaming so it ought to give him something to brag about. I do appreciate everybodys help on giving me info on it and I will download pictures of the game for everyone to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
