You, too, can own a copy of Atlantis II for the Atari 2600

Yes, now you can own a piece of history. With only 10 copies ever produced, this is one of the rarest games in the entire world.

And it can be yours for the low, low price of 1,750,000 United States Dollars. But that's not all! If you win this auction, not only do you have to pay for an outdated game that isn't fun anyways, but you have to pick it up yourself! You can meet the wonderful social butterfly who owns this illustrious cart yourself. Marvel at his bellybutton lint collection! Be amazed as he tells you stories from his challenging job as a tollbooth operator!

Some people, man . . .

omgomgomgomg, the questions are priceless. it won't let me log in right now, it says its unable to process my request...oh man i wish i could read the rest of the questions. so far they made me LOL for real.

this part proves it is a fake:

Q:I have a cool 1.5M in cash sitting here with your name on it. Deal?
A:No Deal!

OT, but Oni, i just noticed you were in St. Catharines. probably a stupid question, but do you know the Rupcic's? (any of them?) i only ask because the last name is pretty unique, and you may recall it if you ever came across them.

While I was reading the questions posted, I came across that he has been offered (seriously offered) $5000.00 USD for it. He still wouldn't take it.

I bet $5 that when this auction doesn't sell, he'll re-list it in exactly the same way.

It is worth 1.75M to him and him alone. Actual collector value is pro'lly closer to $3000.00 USD.

I'd take it.

Humanbeatbox: Nope, never come across anybody by that name. Sorry, brother.

Niku-Sama · 11-15-06, 12:56 AM

having a collection i would say that 1.5 mil is still way too much.

considering the fan base of the VCS and the fact theres 10 of these games one of which with a fancy manual (which this one has) and depending on the condition of the game i would think more along the lines of $750,000 +$50 shipped with double insurance in a huge iron clad box with personal sentry guard would be more realistic

edit:
ok now in all seriousness This is worth that price this guys asking

ghettocomp · 11-15-06, 02:20 AM

LOL 1.75M by Paypal??
...no way...

"I won't send it through the mail it's too Rare and would get lost! "

That sound like a promise

I read this and immediately thought: I'm a game nut, but this is just a bloody cartridge, what's he going to do display it behind glass at the ROM or Smithsonian? People with too much money and too little brains.....

freakdiablo · 11-15-06, 08:16 AM

I mean, I know its rare and all, but ITS A GAME. I have a fit when theres a game I like and its over $40. And there were 10 made. Rare paintings, only 1 of each original, and they don't go for that much.
