that's cool but i've long been a nerd on various game collecting websites and i've never heard of this game. its not even listed on atariage.com? even a prototype would probably be listed

funnily enough though i've actually bought a rare atari game off this seller just a few months ago

It's not listed anywhere because it actually is really rare. Apparently nothing was known about it other then a name that was listed on some lists from the 80's.

rider do you post on dp

oh, right- well that's certainly something, i guess. i wonder how long the seller has been sitting on it for. he's probably got a bunch of other holy grails. he seems to put a new one up for grabs every couple of months.

Nope just found that thread when looking up info about the game. I find the whole thing really funny. I'm always amazed how everything instantly turns into drama.

[Rider]

I love the idiotic way he tried to disguise the picture. He basically explained how to undo the changes he made to it.

[???]

yeah that is seriously one of the crappiest pics i've ever seen. adds to the mystique though, i suppose (or the risk factor of buying it, if that gets you off)


anybody wants to read a cool article about the rarest games EVAR well this is pretty enjoyable:

I read that article a few years ago interesting read.

[Nimrod's Son]

that's asinine.

Speaking of, you guys are welcome to come to my pad....My sister and I just bought an X-MEN arcade game. It only cost $150 on Ebay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You better bring a shitload of quarters though, you didn't think i'd let you play for free now?

[waltermcphilp]

this one?

http://www.racketboy.com/roomplay/xmenarcade.jpg

what an awesome find. that one plus the simpsons and ninja turtles arcade games were my favorites.

[ella]

No =*( It doesn't look as cool as that, and it's only a two person arcade game, but it still fucking rocks!

The only gay thing about it is that it doesn't have Jean Grey on it....so I usually choose Wolverine....

[???]

marvel vs capcom 2?

[ella]

Nah it's Konami...That's basically all I know =) lol

[Rider]

So I sent the seller a message on Ebay asking him how something that sold 20 copies is one of a kind, this is his moronic reply:

"Because if only 20 (IF THAT) were sold and NONE have been found in over 20 years, then it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out why it is one of a kind. Because its highly likely that others that were sold have been lost, thrown out among other things happening to them. Why? Do you think thats NOT legitimate? If you think not, I challenge to go find one for purchase. Good luck with that! Have a nice day."

[???]

haha. tbh i kindof agree with him though; it might not be provable that he's got the only remaining copy but i'm willing to bet that we won't see another one surface in even another 20 years. most people seriously throw out shit like this without knowing what its worth.

[???]

you should have asked him though if he's sitting on any other rare titles

bet he's got shitloads

It might be a once in a lifetime opportunity, but it's clearly not one of kind. Actually it might be since pretty much everything he knows about this is stuff he made up.

If you keep talking about him he may show up here. I think he's up to like 5 message boards where he has gone on rants.

[???]

well bottom line, if the game is legit then there's no use being pedantic about whether or not it is or isn't the only existing copy, cause chances are we'll never see another one.

[Dead Frequency]
