Was digging through my closet the other day and found this shirt. Its the one you get when you beat Gauntlet Legends and get the code at the end of the game and send it into Atari. I remember when this came out in the Arcade, all the money I put into this game just to get all the rune stones and unlock the final level I hate to even think about it. But at least this Gauntlet has an ending. Been looking for the Arcade Game for quite some time and was lucky enough to head down to Indiana and get the one Aboy1411 was selling. Great Guy btw. Looking in the manual, it said only 500 shirts were made. Anyone else send in for this shirt?

Looking through old posts I made and came across this one. Since that time I have acquired a Gauntlet 2 and a Roadblasters. Both of which had T-Shirt contests. This must have been an Atari thing back in the 80's. I lived in Northern Michigan growing up so we didn't have the variety of games to play. Did any of you win and still have the shirts from these contests?
 
Nope. Never even heard of the contest in north central Illinois.
 
Cool shirt...I remember Roadblasters had a T-shirt contest too..Bust -A-Move also had a T-shirt offer if you beat the game.

Don't forget Toobin'. It's a nice shirt too, front and back art with lettering on the sleeve as well.

I've never seen or even heard of the Gauntlet Legends one, pretty neat.
 
I wish I had the quarters then and the t-shirt now. Cool story but do you still have the shirt and does it fit. that is like 20 years ago and 10 years since post :)

I never wore it. It's in the closet with a bunch of other shirts I'll never wear. My aunt bought me a Thundercats t-shirt back when the cartoon was on that is hanging right next to the Gauntlet Legends t-shirt.
 
'Best' store had an Atari 2600 Asteroids contest back in '81 or '82.
Think i had 8th place out of a few hundred
got a crummy t-shirt that was too small :(
 
Hot damn I came very close one time, had I had known this I would have saved up just a couple more quarters
 
A friend and I got codes and sent in for Atari Toobin' t-shirts BITD... I wore it a lot though so it had mileage. I wonder where that thing ended up?

I had a NOS topper for the RB contest that was to be placed atop the game from BITD. Sent it to Rich to get reproed about 6-7 years ago. It was never heard from again.

I actually had to go through and get all the keys twice since I didn't even know about the T-Shirt until we beat it. I had no way to write down my code or the address. Of course now if that were to happen I would just take out my phone and take a picture. Dumped a lot of quarters into that game. Hell, I think I paid less for the machine than what I dumped into the game just to get my character to lvl 99.
