MY ONE AND ONLY serial number 1 hand made first prototype Star Castle 2600 cartridge. The one that proved it could be done, the one seen in public only once before. The game features a CNC machined clear Lexan shell with internal lights that flash with the game action. Game comes autographed by me, serial numbered, and sealed in a box with the manual. Game is compatible with Atari 2600 Video Computer System (NTSC only). YOUR NAME and PHOTO appear in the game manual as the ONLY person in the "Benefactor" section (text and image subject to approval). You also get MY Atari 2600 and everything you need to play the game, including MY Atari joystick, power supply, RF modulator, MY 20" color TV (with remote), MY FLASH cartridge used to develop the game and USB cable. Plus you also get the Star Castle 2600 CD including game ROM, emulators for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and much much more! Not to sound too cheesy or cliche, but this is a limited time offer, previously the cartridge alone bore a price of $32,768 and that price for this one of a kind hand made collectors digital art piece will return if it's unclaimed at the end of this campaign. (If you want your name in the history books, pledge over $31,600 for this cartridge because that would make you the owner of THE MOST VALUABLE Atari 2600 GAME EVER!!!)
Estimated delivery: May 2012
