So, another Magical Chase on eBay...

[Sparky]

i did, actually over on digitpress as i was a late arrival to this place when i found my copy, I did a straight up trade with a guy for it trade bait always helps as well.

[TheClash603]

What was your half of the trade?

[Sparky]

I have mentioned this before but here is the quick brief...
The trade was....This Hulk prototype box i found (just the empty box) for this minty MC for me (still gots the plastic on the box)

Man that guy got ripped.  Good job Sparky!  haha

[Tatsujin]

yeah..great trade, but atari guys are used to get ripped all the time

[Sparky]

nope... he did not get ripped off, not my nature to do such a thing...

A complete Magical Chase back then was about $500 this Hulk box he valued just as much as this was a prototype box!!. and people love prototypes!... I actually had 4 different Atari prototype boxes and 2 had never been seen before period!!!!... i had offers for these 4 EMPTY boxes between $1000 - $2000.  This guy wanted the hulk box as much a i wanted magical chase.

here are all the boxes...

are those really prototypes? what are the difference to the officials? i remember that i had the two bonds and the lord of the ring games for my vcs. and in my memories, they looked just the same.

tats, what you see are the officials, these boxes were on display EMPTY at like a Toy r Us advertising up and coming games but Atari never produced them ONLY these display boxes!!. There were lengthy discussions on this and verified....so if you have something like this Tats find them!!! and have a closer look

BUBBA SMITH!

GET SOME!





That MC is very crisp and happy looking.

I know that Bubba Smith is fake.

If it were real, Bubba Smith would be having his way with those ladies.

so you're saying that those bonds never were released? can't be. sure i non of that stuff anymore to check anything, since gave it away more than 20 years ago.

i remember bought those (resp. my grand mam payed 'em) in a liquidation shop near zurich (switzerland).

[Sparky]

tats, you are right, i got ahead of my self  :oops: the bond one was released as a game (the box with the distant shot of OO7) but the box is still a repro as it says Octopussy, and the other one totally is.

sorry for the confusion.. was thinking of the hulk box. <<huggles>>

Box art with Bond sporting anything other than a Walther PPK and some serious eye candy gets the editing room floor, or a seat next to the SGX Strider Eprom in the land of lost left socks.

Lord of the Rings was never released for the 2600, but it (and The Hobbit) was released on various computers (PC, C64, Spectrum, etc.); perhaps you're thinking of one of those.  As for Bond, the sole title released on the 2600 looked a bit different than either of those two boxes (clicky).

cool..thanks guys it's been such a long time since.
