Is it $45 really? It can't be or can it? Atari

[Atari Charles]

Coming from the catacombs of Gray Games, surfaces a game so distorted so warped that you will never be the same way again. This world will haunt your mind forever.

Game: ???
TV Format: NTSC
Price: $45 plus $5 postage
Limited run of 20 carts

I am releasing a cartridge signed, numbered and dated in a limited run of 20 carts. Each cart is $45. Shipping is $5 anywhere in the world(even Iraq, the North Pole, whereever as long as it is on planet Earth). Payment via paypal upon confirmation. Only 1 cart per person. You will find out the name and game when you receive the cart. This game will have nothing to do with any Gray Games release before it. This is an experiment, an experiment gone wrong.

PM me if interested. Buyers are anonymous.

The carts will go to first come first serve. Paypal payment required immediately.

That is all I can say.

Charles

Why did you name this game ??? and not !!!

It's all in the sales pitch man !!! says wow i must have it where ??? says what the i'll pass.

[Atari Charles]

It is what it is. It is a Mystery cart with a name but that will be unknown until you recieve the cart. And no it is not Combat.

[Trebuken]

Must be Adventure III

[MarioMania]

I'm shocked people bought the unknown game for $50, I wouldn't

[TheDomesticInstitution]

Wait... are these carts filled with illegal, smokable substances?

[aaron7]

Is this a homebrew or something? I'm really lost.

[TheDomesticInstitution]

Is this a homebrew or something? I'm really lost.

Yeah, I have no clue what's going on here. And maybe I'm dumb, but am I to assume it's for the 2600? "Not combat" would lead me to believe that these are not homebrew... but I haven't been here enough to know what the OP's "hustle" is. Maybe I have no business posting on this thread then. I am curious though. Not "dropping $50" curious, just to be clear.

[PingvinBlueJeans]

Is this a homebrew or something? I'm really lost.

Possibly, but more likely a hack.

[PapaStu]

Since this is for a game thats being sold and nothing more

**WHOOSH TO BUY/SELL**

Good luck with Picross 2600 (if it was this i'd buy it like in 0 seconds flat)

No they aren't but an excerpt from one of my posts on the subject

"...you'll really GET(UNDERSTAND) this limited release cart, why some people will be pissed off that it was made, why some people will wish you didn't have it, why others may even try to smash it if they ever see it, and others will laugh out loud and this eternal struggle between the perception of what is good and what is evil..."

[dougman999]

aww, c'mon! I've not even in the 2600 scene and I wanna know!

[Sothy]

bioforce ape for 2600?

[Superman]

With the previous information given, I'm going to guess the game is E.T. 2.

No, I am afraid you are wrong.

[Atari Charles]

And then there were 9.

[Atari Charles]

Questions Answered
(Well, at least some of them anyway)

Since I have gotten emails, pms with different questions, I'll answer the ones that are relevant but that won't spoil the surprise of this Mystery Cart.

1. Is this E.T. 2?

-No, it is not and has nothing to do with E.T., Cyplix, or anything that I have released in the past.

2. You've said a person can only buy one copy. What if I want to buy one for myself and one for a friend?

-I put the 1 cart per person limit as I didn't want someone buying the whole batch and throwing them on ebay. If you want to buy 2 whether it be for a friend or you just really want 2, then that is fine. No more than 2 though, as I want people from a variety of places to own one.

3. What if I buy it, then throw it on Ebay and sell it for more?

-That's your choice. Most of us live in relatively free countries, so once you have it, it is your choice.

4. Is there a manual with it?

-Yes.

5. Does it come with it's own box?

-Only the one I ship it in. As Cpuwiz tried to point out I am not creative enough to make a box. In truth, I don't want to make a box for it.

6. Can you give me any hint to what this game is?

-Aside from what I have written in this post, there is nothing more I can tell you.

7. Are there really people who will want to destroy this cart?

-Remember Salman Rushdie or that Dutch author who wrote about the Koran, or the cartoonist who made fun of Islam? Do you think Muslims want the infidels works to exist or would they burn the works of the infidels in a fire? This Mystery cart has nothing to do with Islam, but there are those who would smash it with a hammer or destroy it in some method if they got ahold of it, even if it is in your possession IMHO. Others of course, will see the fun in the cart and have fun playing it. Others will lock it away from the light of day in their private collections.

8. What happens when they are all sold, sent out, and received by the buyers?

-Then I am finished with this Mystery Cart. My work on this is finished, unless within a year the cart doesn't work, they can get it repaired under warranty(I can't see this happening though).

9. When I reserve a copy, must I pay for it right away?

-Yes. I can give you a few days or even more if you let me know you need more time. If you just reserve it and I don't get a paypal payment or hear from you if you need time, then your copy may go back on market.

10. What do you want to see come of this in the end?

-I want people to enjoy what they have. I want people to "think." I want people to "laugh." Having this cart in various collections around the globe would be amazing. I want to see this game played. I want to see it behind glass. There are many things too numerous to write here.

And then there were 7.

And then there were 6.

[Vectorman0]

There is no need for the excessive bumping, just keep on updating you main post.

[Atari Charles]

Will do.

[Atari Charles]

I am updating the main list in almost real time. I won't post any more new posts on this thread until they are all sold.

And then there were 3.

[Atari Charles]

All Mystery Carts have been sold. If #12 which is pending falls through, I will post it here for sale.

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

It's POLYBIUS 2600!!!

If AC steps out of line, don't hesitate to give him a zap. ;)

[Atari Charles]

Ouch!!! I just got zapped.

[Cornelius]

Did anything ever happen with these? Has the mystery been revealed?

[Poofta!]

is #12 still available for purchase?

[PingvinBlueJeans]

is #12 still available for purchase?

No, they've all been sold.

[Atari Charles]

Did anything ever happen with these? Has the mystery been revealed?


Damn dirty apes!! I and human and I can talk dammit! ;)

I had to send one Mystery cart to the future of 3026 to a talking chimp.

All the Mystery Carts have been sent out Wednesday and today, so depending on location(overseas will take the longest), they should arrive to people starting late next week and then a few weeks or more after that.

They have all been packaged in boxes with manuals so there is more of a storyline to the game.

I am happy with the release even though some of those who didn't buy it will want to smash it into bits!
