Once again, I'm asking for some help here with my top secret project!
I'm looking for Atari 2600 carts, commons, as many as you've got to get rid of.
I'm hoping that some kind, benevolent soul would like to donate them for the cost of shipping, perhaps? :)
I need a LOT! Condition doesn't really matter, either!
So, drop me a PM or send me an email if you think you can help!

I'm not sure what scares me most...
your avatar...
the fact that you took the 3D Realms thing so...matter-of-fact...
or the implications of this thread.
:O

Must be some kind of CIA / NSA project that POG is working on. I think it is for national securtiy or something like that. LOL LOL LOL LOL
Drown the terrorists with thousands of crappy atari titles, POG!
Way to go!

Cool, are you going to make a COMBAT bomb or use the processors to make some type of super weapon?

If it's to make a bomb, you would need to use ET carts, not combat. At least combat in enjoyable once in a while!

Then you're creating a fleet of Atari Vehicles to drive around to different areas so all the kid's can get to 'Know their roots'. 10 stations per vehicle, a dozen vehicles.
So, what do I win for being the most bored?

Sorry, can't divulge any details right now.
If you want to contribute, fine.
If not, fine.
Thanks!

Thank you, Earl :)
We have until the end of July.
I *think* I'm at right around 400 carts right now.. Well, promised, anyway. They're still on their way here.

15 carts are on the way from Captain Nintendo and I. I sent them out yesterday.

If we're still guessing, a homebrew game that re-writes the cartridge is a more likely endeavor, IMO.

The secret is out!
Has it made anyone change their minds? :)

POG can you let us know what system it will be for? And if you will be selling/giving them away? And what will the price be?

I want to give this one last FINAL bump! I'd still LOVE to get some more carts for the show. Just wait until you hear what some of the PRIZES are going to be!
Right now, it looks like I'll probably have half the number of carts I was aiming for, which isn't TOO bad. But, it's going to make the contest first come, first serve. Anyone coming later in the day won't have a chance. So, improve YOUR chances and donate! :) PM if interested.

Have you visited VGWIZ (http://www.vgwiz.com/products-hw.html#a26-cas-a-00). They have new 2600 cart shells for sale. This may be out of the price range you're looking for but it is an alternative.

Hey DEBRO, normally that would be a great suggestion, for someone looking for shells to case a new game/homebrew, etc. But this isn't one of those times. The game we're running at CGE involves each attendee RECEIVING what appears to be an ordinary 2600 cart. But when they plug the game in, some of them will have been replaced by a special CGE WINNER message! Details are on the CGE News page.
Just thought I'd clarify this in case anyone is thinking the same thing. We WANT beat up old carts!

Yes, the more beat up, the better! We are in NO way making ANY money off this; heck, we're giving all the carts away!
They don't even have to work!
