DeLorean Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Okay you guys this is a Scavenger Hunt! Right now, in this forum, post a photo of: A SCREENSHOT OF PAC-MAN FOR ATARI 2600 WITH A SCORE OF EXACTLY 4815 ON THE TV SCREEN, WITH A STICKY NOTE ATTACHED TO IT THAT HAS YOUR ATARI I/O SCREEN NAME WRITTEN ON IT AND A PAPER CLIP STUCK TO THE STICKY NOTE Okay, got it? Play regular Pac-Man on 2600 until the score reads exactly 4815. Then write your Atari I/O member name on a sticky note, put a paper clip on it for no good reason, slap it to the TV screen, take a picture, and post it right here. The first person to do this will win a Mystery Prize!! Have Fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo-Yo Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Awesome idea! I almost had this.. RickR beat me by minutes. Maybe next time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'll admit, it took me some time to find a post-it note. And finding a working camera. And getting a non-blurry picture. I figured there would be someone right on my tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo-Yo Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Haha Ya I had my post-it note written out with my name on it and paper clip attached and ready to slap up on the screen just as soon as I hit 4815 because there's no pause on a 2600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 The prize just arrived! Here it is. Turns out to be a bare 7800 board. And the game is.....Ms Pac Man! Seems appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Octagon Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Lol a bare 7800 Ms. Pac-Man is the best we could do for a prize? This is a shonda. Shameful! Next time send him an MIB Defender or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Professor Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 when's the next Scavenger Hunt???? Not sure, Arena! Scavenger Hunts are a surprise that pop up totally unannounced. You'll just have to keep an eye in the forums to see when one might happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time send him an MIB Defender or something. Haha I thought it was an AWESOME prize! It's a 7800 game, it's Ms. Pac-Man, and it was a surprise! How can you go wrong? So maybe next time we give away something boxed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 when's the next Scavenger Hunt???? Scavenger Hunts are probably going to be a permanent part of the Forums.

So maybe next time we give away something boxed.. I figured I cheesed somebody off or something, which is typical for me. Ha ha ha. What does one do with a bare board? What happened to this poor thing's shell? So many unanswerable questions! AHHHH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to this poor thing's shell? So many unanswerable questions! AHHHH! HAHA no, you didn't cheese anybody off! I thought you'd think it was cool! And better than another 2600 game. It still plays okay if you stick it in a 7800. There are a few games without cartridge shells, they were new and used for eproms. Next time I'll make sure we send you something different.
