INDY 500

Mon May 21, 2012 5:28 PM

I am going to the Indy 500 again this year. I go most years, and I have planned/tried to take my Atari Indy500 cart and take some kind of picture at the track.
I have forgot to bring it twice, left it at the hotel once, left it on the bus once.
THIS IS THE YEAR!!!
I may even bring a couple along with paint pens and see if I can get an autograph on one.

Does anyone have any good ideas on pictures? I was thinking of taking one from my seat (Across from the last few pit spots, upper deck) with the cart on a rail in the foreground.
Maybe a picture of a celebrity holding it, or a picture of it at the Indianoplois 500 Festival Parade.

Guy selling 2600 Carts with fake labels

Kinda odd, but they do say something about random game. They look like professional labels as well.
If you look at history, some sold for $20+

Another page of funny fake 2600 games.

I have not seen this one before. Some are not bad.

AVP is pretty funny...

I started making a manual for my R.O.B. Non-Tendo cart.

It will probably be a tri fold style. I loosely based it off of my Sky Diver manual layout.
I still have work to do on it, but here is a preview. (I am not even sure if I got the directions correct. I am not at my normal PC...)

I also plan on shipping anything new (like this manual, and possibly overlays) I create to the original owners of the first cart, so nobody will feel penalized by getting one fo the first ones. I will probably also make special manuals for those, now that I think about it.
Criticism is welcome, but may not be followed ;-)

I may sell some more Non-Tendo R.O.B. carts

I updated the market thread
http://www.atariage....ready-for-sale/

with this;
I am going to make some more of these if there is interest. I am not into pre-order or prepay, and it will only be about 10 more. I did make a minor update to the label stating that keypads work, so if anyone that bought the first one sends me their label I can mail them the new one. I plan on making a MINIMAL manual, and if I do, I will send it to the original purchasers as well.
Price will be $30 total shipped. There was one person that would like to return/resell their cart due to some personal reason, I somehow lost the email, feel free to message me. I suggested that instead of them shipping to me, that they could just ship to the next person on the list that wanted one and eat the shipping, so effectively do it for $25...
Anyway, I still have plans for a controller device in addition to the keypad support. To those that bought one already, I thank you for the interest, it was a huge kick when I got it to work.
I still do plan to offer them via the AtariAge store, and release the bin file (if it isn't out there already... ;-) )
They are shipped in boxes, not bubbleopes, and I got some real nice little shipping boxes lined up this time that I may even label if I can think of a nice way that isn't cheesy.


Honestly, I rarely read the market forum, someone moved my post there back when I first made them. I only read the 2600 forum and sub forums.

I guess any replies should be to the thread in the Market, just to keep it somewhat clean. I know I have some people that missed the first ones, feel free to PM me if you still want one. I will TRY to go through old messages and find the order of the ones that missed it. If I leave anyone out, no offense, purely accidental.
If you just want to talk about it, please do it in this thread, or one of the old ones in the 2600 forum.
I think this is the original if you want to read some more about it.
