yeah im intersted too. I would like to see the condition of whatever one they selected
 
So the contest ended in March and you are just now receiving a prize?

Edit, and you just got it when the letter was dated August 3rd? No wonder why Atari went out of business. :rolleyes:

I forget what it was valued at, but I'm guessing a lot. The winner would have to pay the taxes on it. Either way, cool win!

I think the taxes would have cost about what a nice restored MC might bring. So not a horrible deal but by no means free.

Yea thought that was funny too. UPS ground is not that slow:confused:
 
Very cool!!!

I remember years ago I bought Roadblasters arcade game. We finished Level 50 (thanks to the free play option) and got the 'code' for the t-shirt giveaway. It was like 10 years after that contest, but we sent it in anyway. Months went by, and we got a letter from Atari!

The letter said that although the contest had ended long ago, they appreciated the time and effort to reach the end of the game. Thought it was really cool that they even responded. Atari is neat like that.

Congrats on the shirt, it's awesome!

That is really cool. I completely forgot about the contest. I regret selling my MC and it is probably the only game I would ever try to sneak in past my wife's "no more games" rule if I can ever find one. That shirt is really nice. Congrats.

I did the same thing a year after it passed and got probably the same letter about the contest expiration...

I thought I did one for Vindiacators as well, can't recall? Did anybody ever get one these shirts?
