It's a cool game and my favorite version of Galaxian to play. It's not arcade perfect, but I actually prefer that way in this case.

HDN Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 I’m a pretty big fan of Galaxian. I especially enjoy the 2600 version I got from @RickR a while back. RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 I asked about the "W" price tags on Facebook, and got the answer. Those are from "Woolco", a branch of "Woolworth's". They went out of business in the US in 1983. Although they lived longer than that in Canada, I assume most of our "W" price tags are from USA stores, probably from the mid-west. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woolco nosweargamer, Justin and HDN 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossBow Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 I though Waterworld was an Atari Club exclusive game? I don't recall ever seeing that for sale locally when I was kid, although I do remember earthworld and fireworld? I didn't keep any of the boxes for my games when I bought them new back in the day. Had no idea that would be a thing I would want later in life you know? But I can tell you that a majority of my atari games back then did NOT have price stickers on them because I bought them at service merchandise or Toys' R Us where we just took a tag off the shelf and handed it to a cashier to pay for it. Then waited at a pick up location elsewhere in the store where a mint out of the carton boxed game was then handed to you. So they didn't have price stickers on them in my case. There were a few times where I or my parents purchased from TG&Y but I think those had shrink wrapping on them and the stickers were on the shrink wrap and not on the actual boxes. One thing I do remember doing was that when the silver label boxes and games were released, I would carefully peel off the little holographic oval sticker from the box and applied it to empty negative space on the cartridge labels. I know that is heresy now, but back them when I was 8 - 10 years old, I thought it was pretty cool. I think only my Kagaroo 2600 cart still has that sticker on it to this day. I know my Joust for the 2600 used to have it, but I don't think it is there anymore and fell off sometime ago taking a bit of the silver off the label with it!

From what I understand, unsold Atari Club exclusives eventually found their ways to store shelves, although, as you can imagine, they weren't as widely available as normal releases.
