What does it mean when it says that information "needs Cited"? So Activision sold some Imagic titles apparently in Australia using their shells, that makes sense. Back then, nobody would really know. 

No, Activision, founded in 1979, did not purchase Imagic or their games during their time developing games for the Atari platform. Imagic was a separate game publishing company that was established in 1981 and became prominent for developing video games for the Atari 2600 and other platforms of the era. While both companies were active in the same time period and produced games for Atari, there is no record or information indicating that Activision acquired Imagic or their game catalog.

Didn't Activision buy all the Imagic titles at some point? 
 

I have learned that these were sold in Australia. I had someone in an Atari forum show me photos of the ones he had, he said he hasn't seen a Laser Gates one in a long time. He has a Cosmic Ark, Quick Step and Riddle of the Sphinx. Cosmic has a yellow lable, Riddle a red one and Quick a orange label. These are in Activision shells and are PAL versions. 

I've never noticed Imagic using Activision cartridge shells before. Unique!

Awesome!

I have the blue label version of this, but I don't have the green label version. Nice find.

Quite an achievement! Games for the 2600 are usually pretty tough, too.

I had this when I was but a wee lad. Nice!

One of my all time favorite 7800 games:  One on One. 
 

"OUCH"
Nice one.
 

Awesome!~ Enjoy your cart, my friend! It's a classic.  I appreciate you!😉

I just caught this @Sabertooth. I shared this with my Mom. When I was 18 months old we were moving to a new place, and my mom was hit by a drunk driver with her car full of framed pictures and fragile glassware. The drunk driver was driving with an already revoked license and hit her from behind on an overpass, scooping her car up and flipping it over an embankment and she was thrown from the car. She told me just now she can still remember the sound of the car wheel rolling right next to her head as the car rolled down the hill. I came very close to growing up not having known my mom, and I think quite often about how lucky I am that I got to live in this "timeline" where my mom is alive, and that things weren't worse for her. She miscarried twins shortly afterward which we always believed was related to the accident. I saw my mom at Christmas and showed her the Club VCS Zine and told her a bit about you and what you had done with the club, which - after having been my mom and going on this Atari obsession with me from the beginning - thought was incredibly impressive and really cool. I reminded her of you again tonight when I shared your story with her, and mentioned I'd share this story with you here. I'm glad you're okay, and that your family and little girl still have you. I hope the rest of 2024 is good to you.

I agree it seems worse these days..a LOT of aggressive driving out there.  I hope your friend's son recovers quickly!
I got myself a new car recently just to make sure I have the latest safety doo-dads.  And it does help!  The car will brake/steer if it senses something bad is about to happen.  I figured at my age, I need all the help I can get.  Not that I look at my phone or anything else while driving. 
Anyway, take care everyone.  Even close calls like @Sabertooth had take a toll with potential PTSD or nightmares. 

I have seen and heard this story more over the last year than ever. I have been in like 10 close calls recently, just had one last evening when a car decided to pull right in front of me without looking and we were a piece of paper away from hitting each other if I was not paying attention. I just lost a cousin the week before Christmas who was hit by a distracted driver. Be safe out there, try to avoid looking at our phones as I try not to myself but I look around as I am driving and at stoplights and can't believe how many people are holding their phones and typing on them, or talking on them and not paying attention to the road. A friend of mine just posted their son got rear ended because of a distracted driver. Put him in the hospital, he was only half a mile away from getting home.

Congratulations!

Thanks Rick! She popped the question via a custom ViewMaster photo disc.

Happy New Year @RickR @Sabertooth and to everyone here reading this 🎉

Happy New Year!

It was easy to use, I also have an 8Bitdo stick that works great too. Just plug in and play. 

If anyone has or knows where I can get a copy of the Evercade Atari Lynx Collection 2, I would be interested in getting it. 

Oh wow, that looks like a great controller!  Is it hard to get it working with the Evercade?
 

No, it was cheaper than trying to purchase and chase them separately. I have not sat down to estimate what the value would be, especially since three of them were sealed. But I have seen a few of those games go for $30-$50 each on Ebay and Mercari, some for $10-$20 plus shipping, and I paid $100 for all of them.
