newdrum Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I just came across all the hoopla about TANNER's amazing ebay auction. Good on ya man! I instantly recognized the super cool cart and knew that I've had the same for years. Just dug it out. No box but the cart itself and label seem to be in excellent condition. Not sure yet if I should sell or hang on to it. I'll post some pix in the morning. Time to bust out my 2600 and test this puppy out.

Cebus Capucinis Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Nashville, TN as well! Still in the area close to Texas and Arkansas! Our theories about the history of the game are slowly getting pieced together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThelonelyAlien Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I wish i was as lucky as to dig Air Raid out of the attic or a box. Sadly I doubt many made it to New Jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Wow, at this rate all 25 Air Raids will soon be accounted for! There's 25.5, though... . If this is all true, I find it interesting that over 50% of them are still around. Maybe some people kept them because the shape and colour was different from most games? 5-11under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newdrum Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 Nashville, TN as well! Still in the area close to Texas and Arkansas! Our theories about the history of the game are slowly getting pieced together! I saw that the other cart on ebay now was also in TX... What exactly is known or speculated about the regional aspects of these games? Id love to know more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari181 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I knew we would see more of these with all the attention of Tanner's auction. We should have an over/under on the number of known copies by known by the end of summer. Use like 25 as the number. I say over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2600 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 How did you get this game, how long ago? Details! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newdrum Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 How did you get this game, how long ago? Details! Picked it up from a yard sale around 2008 in Nashville,TN ...think it was on Columbia, TN for sometime before. Was in a box with other video game carts and an older player console that I was not familiar with. Not Atari, not Coleco, but of that era. I only got this one game as I just thought it looked cool and curios with no obivious brand or name. Should I sell?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Should I sell?? I definitely would. I'd wait though, the market is flooded right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2600 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) I would sell for sure. Is this the time you'll get the most money for it, I'm not certain. But there's more buzz about this game than ever before, and probably ever again. If I had one, I'd sell it. I have about 100 or so 2600 games, but they're all games I like to play and nothing too rare. Air Raid is not a great game, play wise, it's not even original. I have a feeling you could make much better use of $1000+ or whatever they are selling for right now. PS: Have any of this game come from an original purchaser outside the South?
