Patch not included. It took a lot of points to earn that patch.😉 🙂 Yes! I did get box from Marc and the patch from Machine. sramirez2008 and TrekMD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When AtariAge member Machine had the patch made, I purchased a box from Marc and had a custom cart made with the demo. I thought it would be a fun addition to my collection. More of a conversation piece than anything. Justin and TrekMD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Speaking of Marc Oberhäuser's, here are some games that I got boxes for from him recently. I'm also posting the new games I just received from Opcode Games... Edited September 17, 2023 by TrekMD sramirez2008, socrates63, RickR and 1 other 4 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...

sramirez2008 Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Nice! I have several of Marc’s boxes, including Chase The Chuck Wagon too. I had the cart and manual for a long time. Glad he made a box. Edited September 17, 2023 by sramirez2008 socrates63 and TrekMD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was glad to see that he made a box for it! 🙂 I haven't opened Donkey Kong because I thought I was buying a game for the SGM (to play on the Pheonix) but this says Adam. Now I don't know if I will be able to play it. sramirez2008 and socrates63 2 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sramirez2008 Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) My most recent ColecoVision purchase just happened to be Space Shuttle. Here’s my collection of Shuttle games, including another patch by Machine. Note: The Shuttle Orbiter (by Avalon Hill) box is by Marc. The rest are CIBs. It took me a while to find the 5200 CIB.

Getting the 5200 box is more difficult than it should be yes as I believe most of them were sold off in the 2600 boxes with a sticker or something over them to state it was the 5200 version inside.

Yes. This is exactly why it took so long. I found many 5200 carts sold in a 2600 box and I didn't want that. Below are some pics of the CIB. The box has a gatefold that reveals the "Major Event Checklist". Also included a Software Guide.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) I wake up, open my front door to look outside, look around and ... find this stuff sitting next to my door. I haven't tested eveything yet but, yea, it's amazing what people throw away. Thanks to the maintenance guy here who knows me and knows I enjoy this stuff.

Sabertooth Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) Very cool @TrekMD! I picked up Towers II as well. It definitely feels better than the original release. I'm still not sure it's my type of game though! What do you think of Songbird's new "Jaguar" logo?

Did your CIB come with a black and white copy of the manual? There are several threads on AtariAge where members discussed buying brand new copies of the game, with no overlays and a black & white manual. There used to be a thread where a member had provided copies of the overlays in the correct size. All you had to do was print them out and have them laminated, but I'm unable to find that thread. Below are what should have come in your CIB. Smell Dawg, socrates63, RickR and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Mine came with the two overlays. I also found a fan-created overlay for Space Shuttle to use with the 2600 Jr. The file is too large to attach but, if anyone wants it, PM me. socrates63, RickR and sramirez2008 1 2 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...
