Atari8bitCarts Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Well, for those of you that know me I have mentioned a few times over the last year that I have been working on a little project of mine, a tribute to the website Pitfall Jones. I started using an Atari computer, a 400, back in 1983. I sold it shortly after but for the last 7 years started to get back into collecting. Then I stumbled on the Pitfall Jones website and I became obsessed. My goal was to convert his virtual collection into a real one. I want to thank everyone that has helped me move closer to meeting that goal. Here is my Atari 8-bit cartridge collection. You can compare my images to the http://www.pitfalljo...om/0800-med.htm website to see which cartridges I’m still searching for. It’s been a long year my next objective is to create images of each cart individually. I have a special lighting kit coming next week. Then I plan on creating ATR’s of each since I still have a very hard time finding good ROM’s. fyi: I have two crates filled with cartridge boxes, etc. Here’s to you Pitfall Jones!

+MrFish Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Nice collection. Did you get your BASIC XE from "8-Bit Classics"? I'm pretty sure those are just repros, not production carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari8bitCarts Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Nice collection. Did you get your BASIC XE from "8-Bit Classics"? I'm pretty sure those are just repros, not production carts. I wondered the same, I got it off eBay. I think it was a repro, but was hoping that someone wouldn't use a multi cart and actually make a label with copyright info and OSS on it. That would just be sooo wrong.

qix_maniac Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Great Collection! I've never seen that checkbook atari cartridge, is that an actual released cartridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8bitCarts Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Great Collection! I've never seen that checkbook atari cartridge, is that an actual released cartridge? I believe so, but what is weird I cannot find it on Atarimania, etc? I believe the cart also saved to disk, etc. I swear I've seen the big box image somewhere.

Atari8bitCarts Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 That's a fake. -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Meaning, Checkbook is a fake. What makes you think that? I got this from a school in California about 8 years ago. I've seen Atari literature on it, I'll now go research it again. And I will post screen shots and a dump then By my account, she's real. But if you mean my XL Basic, yea knock off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari8bitCarts Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Pitfalljones is very open to feedback, etc. I'll send this to him. And maybe there is a better way to group them?
