    did a recent trade with Rowsdower70 for a complete copy of Atlantis.  Really surprised that in addition to the manual it also had an Imagic game catalog/advertisement and the mail in warranty registration card. awesome.  (I didn't get a pic of those or the loose copy of Intellivision Armor Battle he threw in!)  Really happy to find such great folks to trade with on here.  I recommend you trade with Rowdower70 for sure! Thanks again buddy!

    I tried my hand at making a label for this game.....
     


     
    This is my first attempt at designing any Atari label ever. I figured I'd go with the text label since this game is kinda based on the 1940's and the older type label would go along with it.

    Steal the "stop smoking" app?  Blech, no thanks.  Maybe we can add an Asteroids or Pole Position app instead.  They need help!

    Here's the other two in the lot I got.  Both are working now.  Just needed some TLC.  Mostly it was the power switches that went bad. Coleco Football and Milton Bradley Comp IV. 

     
    And here's a shot of the whole handheld collection I've been building over many years.  These things are a lot of fun, and don't take up much space.

    LOOK what I found!  I got this in a bundle of broken handheld games.  It just needed some serious cleaning, and a new battery connector soldered in.  Now it works perfectly and looks great. 
     
    What an uncomfortable name they chose though.  "Touch Me".  Things were quite a bit different in the 70's I guess.  I suppose you'd put on your polyester leisure suit, head on down to the Regal Beagle, and ask attractive people if they'd like to play "Touch Me".  Then whip this thing out of your breast pocket, and everyone gets a good laugh.  Yes, that's exactly how it was in the 70's I'm sure.

    Some interesting things related to touch me. Many believe Atari stole Pong from Ralph Baer and that Ralph Bear stole Touch Me  from Atari and turned it into Simon, which became more successful than Touch Me.  So in a way, Atari made more money than Baer from his invention Pong while Baer made more money from Atari's invention of Touch Me.
     
    Also, Brain Games for the 2600 is basically based off of Touch Me;
