leolinden Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I got the box guys! I made a video and it's 25 minutes long! Lol. Watch the first few minutes because the last 10 minutes are me rambling on about how flabbergasted I am about this. Thanks again! Also, do you think I should open the ET box. Looks like it has been opened in the past so. I'm unsure about these things guys so what do you think. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

The Professor Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 FANTASTIC!! Your excitement is contagious Leo! It's awesome to see you receive all of this! And yes we wanted you to open the E.T. that's why we sent you that one. It will contain a nice owners manual, a slip for the Raiders of the Lost Ark, and an Atari 49 Game Catalog. We wanted you to have all of that! Know that the game is brand new, but came from a box of E.T.s that had been returned to Atari after sitting on the store shelf for quite a while. Some of the boxes are pretty beat up, and yours had a bit of tape on the top, but it's a brand new game. Also special thanks to RickR for offering up the Missile Command cart he won as a gift to leolinden. It was RickR's generosity that got this rolling.

MaximumRD Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Ha Ha congrats buddy! Years ago on youtube I thought the impossible happened when a fellow had some items he was not using and wanted them to go to someone who appreciated them, being a huge Colecovision fan he sent me a Sensor touch controller and 2600 exp module for coleocvision, first thing I EVER received from anyone off a youtube or forums and I literally could not believe someone would bother to do such a thing, my wife giggled as my eyes popped open and my enthusiasm was unconstrained lol. Congratulations again and good luck on your future collection efforts and most of all HAVE FUN enjoying ATARI!!!!!! So yeah enjoy and remember you are now unconditionally ONE OF US Muhahahahahahahahaha!

DeLorean Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Yeah, I think what's extra spectacularly awesome about this on boxing video is that we literally get to see a new retro gamer experience Atari for the very first time!
