    Jose Cruz just came by today with a delivery!
    He made the perilous journey across the Gulf of Mexico.
     

    Then he came out swinging with Tron Solar Sailor!    My INTV voice collection is complete, thanks to the NoSwearGamer!   Cheers!

    I don't think anyone has the true story on that one.  The plausible stories I've heard:
     
    - It was the codename for the Indy game.
    - It was a plane/jet based game that got cancelled -- never made it past the prototype state. 
    - It was the codename for Realsports Baseball. 
    - It was a game in the works, but the programmer left for a different company.  Took all traces with him/her. 
     
    That second one sounds the most plausible.

    I agree with you on that for sure. These are where the cracks start to show in Atari and the whole industry as it was back then. So much vaporware was announced, touted in catalogs, magazines and at trade shows. How many cool things have we seen with Atari that never came out? Atari 2700 RC VCS, Atari Cosmos, Atari Mindlink, Atari 7800 Keyboard Computer, probably close to 100 games across all the systems, all announced and never released. That was bad show. It disappointed a lot of people and tarnished Atari's reputation.
     
    You'd hardly see this today. Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, they're all tight-lipped about what's coming out until it's time to announce something. Tech giants like Apple and Google are notoriously secretive. I'd bet you this tight-lipped tech culture we're in today is to some degree a result of Atari contributing to the collapse of an entire industry because of their slack practices.

    I never cared for any of the Summer/Winter games series, but that version of Joust is amazing.   I know you'll enjoy!
     
    Thanks again for the trade!
     
    EDIT:  That box originally was used to ship a Genesis 3 (console only) I won on eBay.  I was a bit puzzled when I saw it as well.

    So this weekend I got a package. A mysterious package labeled Genesis 2. How strange. I already have a Genesis 2 and the package seemed to small to hold one. None the less I opened it to see what was inside...

     
    Oh wow! It's my game selections from the Rowsdower Omnivision Club! Joust on the NES and Summer Games on the 2600! I already own these games on other systems, but I wanted to try these versions too.

     
    And look! even the Michael Jordan Pog was left speechless by its awesomeness! Just speechless!

    It has been a blast.  It's like a neighborhood trade thing going on here, and everyone seems to be really concerned about making sure their trades find a good home.
     
    I've been surprised how helpful an Atari forum has been with building my Intellivision collection!

    Glad you're happy with Atlantis!  I don't have pics, but thank you for the Atari carts and INTV manuals and overlays.

    I'll make sure to take pics of future trades and put them here.

    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!
