The Professor Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 You can see just by looking at the cartridge that it's not right. I'm glad that didn't happen here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoAtari Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I think that's a good idea to have the ability to spot fakes. Most likely if it's to good to be true, it probably is. I heard that you also need to be very careful buying out of Brazil because they had no regulations or copy right lays back then. So buyer beware!

fergojisan Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Anyone here have an Air Raid? I don't think i will ever own one unless I find one for cheap at a flea market from someone who doesn't know what the internet is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoAtari Posted November 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I don't think that any one here has it. There are only a handful of carts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Octagon Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Linking to other forums is fine Dragging ridiculous drama that happens elsewhere into our forums is not Sometimes it's a really tricky line to walk. This is a news story worth discussing, and what this seller did is ridiculous.

Rowsdower70 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 The last thing I saw was on their auction they had some "expert" come by and say it was legitimate but the handle had been replaced. They deleted it sometime after that. Crazy stuff man.

chas10e Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I didn't participate in the other thread ... I generally don't in those types of threads , but I do read them to try & keep up with the news concerning Air Raid Linking to other forums is fine Dragging ridiculous drama that happens elsewhere into our forums is not Sometimes it's a really tricky line to walk. This is a news story worth discussing, and what this seller did is ridiculous. As long as the conversation stays honest and positive it's good here is the link for the first boxed copy found in 2010 http://atariage.com/forums/topic/160607-my-air-raid-auction-update/ I enjoyed reading it , especially the parts where he would loan the game to his friends & they didn't like it, so it would always be returned to him to summarize it sold as a museum piece for $30,000 news of this came out & others remembering it's uniqueness wondered if they had kept theirs ... link here with video http://atariage.com/forums/topic/204249-10-17-2012-found-air-raid-with-original-box/ I don't know the technical prowess involved or the equipment use to make a "repro" of the same game ... cleaning a cart shell , making a nice label does take some time & effort .... but I wouldn't spend a whole lot personally to have one .... but for the time & effort involved perhaps 25 bucks for a loose cart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
