The project is finally into the printing queue and will be ready for shipment next week.
This project was printed from the original Atari screens. This shirt will be exactly as it was in 80's.


There are TWO options for ordering.

OPTION 1-

Standard cotton ringer shirt. This is the heavier weight classic shirt, that you have been wearing since the 80's. It's a white body with Blue trim Only these sizes are available for this shirt- Adult S, M, L, XL, 2XL & 3XL. $20 each for S, M, L, XL - $22 for 2XL and 3XL -includes shipping.

Option 2- American Apparel cotton ringer. This is the newer style shirt, that fits tighter, and is made of very soft cotton. It is thinner, than the classic Beefy-T. ONLY IN THESE SIZES- M, (L is sold out) and XL. $24 each, includes shipping.

You can Paypal to sales at atarigames dot com. Please let me know the option you want, and the size.

**If there is some other size that you would like to have, let me know by Wed, and I may be able to add it to the order.** Keep in mind that the image is 11 inches across. It's not going to fit on kids sizes or smaller.

These will start shipping next Friday.

Due to underwhelming response. I am probably going to cancel the black shirt's and reduce my order of the white ringers in 1/2. That means I am only printing a total of 50 shirts for this design. If I'm not able to get at least 30 pre-orders, I am going to cancel the entire run. If you want one of these, order now, or let me know that you are serious. I don't want to end up sitting on $1500 worth of unsold shirts.

So you were expecting a strong response in 12 hours? I didn't even see this thread until the black option was removed. You might want to at least give folks a few days. Either way good luck getting enough pre-orders!

Of the 12 orders I have so far, no one wanted black. My deadline for modifying the order was 11am this morning. I had to make a call to cancel the black shirts, since the orders are running 100% ringers.

In this economy, I can't afford to sit on a bunch of unsold shirts. In the future, I may run the black shirt on a pre-order only basis. I will only get as many shirts printed as are ordered, and not stock any. This is a not so popular game, with a cult following. It's never going to sell like a more common and popular title. Since they are silk screened from the original screens, and there are 6 colors, I can't just order 10 at a time.
 
Still stuck at 12 pre-orders. I made the call to go ahead with the printing of a smaller run of 50 shirts. They are still scheduled to ship next Friday.

Payment sent for one 2xl shirt.


I hope you don't mind, but I accidently sent the payment to your safestuff PayPal address.

i think it's cool that you are doing this but I am one of the people who would have jumped on a black shirt but I am not interested in a ringer T. I know this is accurate to the original shirt, but I think they look kind of douchebaggy. my comment is this: You got a lot of people interested in these shirts and even started a thread asking what sizes people want, etc. This thread sat for a couple months without any real update. you then start taking pre orders late last night, 12 hours before you have to finalize things with your printer? seems kind of silly. I think quite a few more people would have shown interest, including myself, if you had given it more time.

I'm not trying to give you shit. I appreciate what you are doing, and I hope to get one of those marble madness shirts if you do them, but I'm a little disappointed this go around.
 
I have 4.5 people interested in the black shirt. It I can get 10 people to pre-pay for one, I can call the printer and add them to the order. I will delay all the orders by a day or two.
Instead of the AA shirt, it would be a normal 100% cotton classic T-Shirt in 'stoner/goth' black, as opposed to the 'douchebaggy' ringer. $20 shipped.
 
lol - "douchebaggy". Not that I'm fond of that style of tee (I would have opted for black if I was a food fight fan), but this choice of words just seems a little odd.

Nice of you to do this for the community, Scott. Hope you sell plenty of them. :)
 
why black at all??
black is SOOOO over done. if I had a nickel for every band I printed Black shirts for...
I wouldnt be doing arcade repros :D

maybe a nice royal blue wouldve been a better match-IMO
But to do a black or any other color than WHITE Id imagine Scott has extra costs involved as well
using the orginal films probably wouldnt have a white layer since they were originally printed on white shirts/ringer Ts. changing that to only meet the needs of a few would require addtional work to the art and add most likley add costs.

Ok if blacks more money how about anything but a ringer they look gay in my opionion. For what its worth I order a lot of screen printed shirts and the printer ask what color do I want the run in I can mix and match I've never been charged for it in our business or in the school shirts we order for the soccer teams to sell for boosters.
