Honest

Besides knowing that you are a pillar of the Atari community, I'm a bit of a biter, and my sister is Siamese, so I wasn't too worried.

Right now, I want Spark Bugs by Romox, preferably boxed... Oh, and JamesTheOrangeCat's address, so that I can steal his "Fast Food" game :twisted: :wink: You just made my tail poof! :shock: Actually, my traveling schedule is pretty high (everyone wants to see a performing orange cat who can roll ov...

I was looking at this auction for Orc Attack: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180120276278 The box and manual are labeled as Creative Sparks, but the cartridge label is for Thorn EMI. Is this normal (e.g., did Creative Sparks distribute Thorn EMI-labeled carts for some reason)?

Please Private Message me if you have any you are willing to sell/trade. Thanks!

I am interested in classic Broderbund titles (e.g., Championship Lode Runner, Spare Change, Spelunker, etc.). Buying is preferred, but a trade might also be possible if you let me know what you want. PM me if interested. Thanks!

We just noticed that even though we started on the beginner level, when we "wrapped around" past Z back to level A, we moved up to the standard level. Does anyone know if you win on level Z playing in the advanced mode, does anything special (e.g., fireworks, special messages) happen?

Are there really 26 levels in Dark Chambers? My sister and I got to approximately level R, and then when we died, it advanced us to the next level (S). We died a couple of times on that next level, and each time, even though the level code stayed the same when we started over, it was a different lay...

I wonder if this went for so much because of the software or the 1200XL. It would be interesting to see a dump of the software here.

That makes it all the more weird that the earlier auction went for $68, whereas this went for $11. Atari collecting is fun!

Is there any difference between the in-store demonstration cartridge in the brown case with the yellow lettering, and the cart in the gray case, light gray label, with black and rainbow lettering?

Is there something special about this recent auction, or did this sell for a lot more than it usually does? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=015&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=250056004418&rd=1&rd=1 Maybe people saw the Pogoman auction and decided that Atari stuff was bec...

That's also my sister's nickname , but I'm not sure of the origin for that context.

I kind of suspected that he didn't really expect to get that much, but was just stating such a high BIN as a psychological ploy to motivate higher "best offers".
