Another legendary game has appeared on
eBay:
Pepsi Invaders for the
Atari 2600. It's a
Space Invaders variant commissioned by Coca Cola, where the rather traditional aliens have been substituted by the letters P, E, P, S and I, and players, using their infinite lives have to kill them all in less than 3 minutes. So far, so unspectacular. Still, only 125 copies of the game have been known to exist as it was only released -without a proper box- in a 1983 convention and given only to the 125 sales executives attending it. You can find out more about it and download a working ROM
here and you can bid on it
here. Seller ships only within the United States.

Bloody hell! Have you seen the starting bid? I think I'll pass on that one! :P
ReplyDeleteThink I'll follow your wise example.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic piece of history! Do you have an idea about previous values? Is that price perhaps legit? At 125 copies, trade show only, corporate branded, I can see it being in the ballpark.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I'm sure not buying it :-)
ReplyDeleteTruth be said dear Charlie, Pepsi Invaders carts have been known to sell for around 2000$, so I guess the price is more or less realistic.
ReplyDeleteStill not buying it myself :)
DO some research - There was a box :)
ReplyDeleteActually Anonymous, I did. The thing only came in a styrofoam thingy and not a box. Then again I'd be more than willing to accept more info...
