RickR Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Re-releasing some old games that include a cart and box for $30. Good deal if you ask me. Pre-order now for shipment in May 2024 Ninja Golf: https://atari.com/products/ninja-golf-7800 Food Fight: https://atari.com/products/food-fight-7800 Fatal Run: https://atari.com/products/fatal-run-7800 DegasElite, Jinroh, Sabertooth and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Are you sure that box is included? I think at the $30 mark, it's cartridge only despite what's shown in the product photo. Jinroh, DegasElite, Sabertooth and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted April 4 Author Report Share Posted April 4 Good question! I think they did the same thing with Berzerk and Mr. Run and Jump when those were on pre-order. They did ship with boxes. It may be worth a question on the Atari Discord. I'll get back to you. DegasElite, Justin, Jinroh and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Boxes are included, as with the Plaion re-release of Berzerk and release of Mr. Run & Jump. They are also including instructions this time! Here's a sample from "Ben at Plaion." sramirez2008, DegasElite, RickR and 3 others 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always should’ve been that way. socrates63, DegasElite, MaximumRD and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrekMD Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Waiting for mine! I watched a video of the games and really like that the games now have nice manuals that are better than what was released in the 80's!

sramirez2008 Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 (edited) Waiting for mine as well. In addition to the Gamepad, I ordered a pair of extension cables. Btw, on one of the AA threads, they mentioned that manuals will be available for Berzerk Enhanced and Mr. Run and Jump.

They look like great reproductions. 😄 The ESRB rating just looks so out of place though.

So a lot of changes from the Atari Corps days. For $29, they are a steal. I already have all three OG carts CIB but wanted to pick up these for kicks.

Sabertooth Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 I couldn't resist a quick side-by-side: Front box: Back box: Manual: Carts: Also, PLAION kept the slipcase from Berzerk/Mr. Run &Jump. The only area I would give the OG release an edge is the back box cover. TrekMD, Smell Dawg and RickR 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think having affordable versions of Ninja Golf and Fatal Run is great but from what I see... I doubt it will replace the originals for hardcore collectors. Has the next wave been announced? My dream second wave would be Planet Smashers Enhanced with improved audio, Motor Psycho, and Asteroids. Why asteroids? Because it's my favorite that's why!

CrossBow Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 @Sabertooth What about the new cartridge itself? Did they retain those stupid holes on the top? They are the holes that match up with the dust pegs as the molding pushed that part of the plastic through to be part of the shell in the originals and I've always disliked those holes? Also how it the quality of the PCB edges? It is beveled? Just curious on not just if the games work or not, but how well they are built as compared to the originals since the originals, while being built to a cost back in the day, are still with us 40 years later.

Next wave should be announced in August, per Ben from Plaion. I'm hoping for Planet Smashers, Alien Brigade and Mean 18 - which may have been in the Accolade sale. I'll add that this isn't for "hard-core collectors." Just like vinyl, a re-issue is only a re-issue, no matter how nicely done.
