I'll trade you for any of the Vectrex games I found last week, I only paid $2 but I am willing to take the loss.

The greatest challenge in finding this game is the fact that it is identical to a regular Atlantis label with the night scene. So unless you test it out or know the history of the cart it's impossible to tell, whether it's a rarity or dirt common.

I've included the back scan on mine, as it's rather interesting. The sticker back there most likely came from the box itself! Original Atlantis boxes were used for these games, but Imagic added a white sticker with typed text "ATLANTIS II" on the front of the box to identify them. I believe the original owner of this cart peeled the sticker off the box & transfered it to the back side of this cart.

I've also included a screenshot from my cart in action on my tv. Gamewise it's the same as the first, but much harder. Scoring is a dead giveaway for whether it is a Atlantis I or II.  All of the boxes created in the 4, 6, 8, & 9 are filled in & the numbers are slimmer in Atlantis II.

Atariage has a nice write up about Atlantis II Here

Also I figured while I have the scanner kicking, I'd scan in Condor Attack This was my reason for bidding on the lot that contained the Atlantis II!   Got the pair for $11 on ebay!

wow! nice score. was it a buy it now? or did no one notice the auction?

[den68]

thanks for the scans. do you want to be credited as video_game_addict or your real name?

I saw that thread over at Atari Age.  I was much to stunned to post a response over there.  You are the luckiest cock-sucker on the face of the planet.  |D

I'm almost pissed, cuz I had already added in Condor Attack & the picture label Maze to my collection list then he slips an Atlantis II in the mix & now I need to update it again!
