    Default Atari "mobile-style" Posters

    Does anyone have a complete set of the Atari mobile-style (they're diecut, printed on both sides with a small hole pre-cut in the top, as if you'd run a string through it) posters they made back in the 80's?

    UPDATED:

    Asteroids
    Battlezone
    Centipede
    Haunted House
    Missile Command
    Super Breakout
    Star Raiders
    Tempest
    Warlords
    Yar's Revenge

    If you're not sure what I'm talking about, here's an example:

    I have seven, I know I'm still missing some just haven't got the space for them right now. I've seen them in pictures from previous conventions, so I know someone has to have a complete set. By the way you're missing a few that I have anyway off your list.

    These are the ones I own:
    Battlezone
    Tempest
    Centipede
    Super Breakout
    Star Raiders
    Warlords
    Yar's Revenge

    And was there a Breakout & Super Breakout or just Super Breakout?

    JUST Super Breakout - I'll fix that above, thanks!

    I have a Ms. Pac-Man mobile but it may be from a different series.

    I have
    Battlezone
    Super Breakout
    Star Raiders
    Tempest
    Warlords
    Haunted House
    Missle Command
    and the actual Ms. Pac-Man Mobil Y-bot speaks of.

    At CGE last year I also remember seeing Yars Revenge and Centipede, but the Centipede seemed to not match the set. What were these from? I got them from Ebay when there was a glut of them being sold.

    I have never seen the Asteroids one.

    Any one have pics of it?

    I have 7 of them in my office at work and I get so many compliments on them. I had to use poster putty to get them to "hang" straight. I think I will eventually get them framed.
