Hi, 

If you have a problem with your old Atari XL/XE games over 30 years old, I have a good solution for you. Floppy disks and cassette tapes degauss over time. They stop working with our Atari computers. You can make a very permanent backup of our games and programs on Cartridges.

I am selling an empty cartridge for the backup game (the equivalent of an empty USB for self-recording of 80s games). The cartridge has a Flash memory in the socet that can be removed and programmed the game.The cartridge is made of new components. It has a label, a quick guide to the game and a box with graphics. At the buyer's special request, I can record an image of the game. A prerequisite is a written confirmation that you are the owner of the game. You are requesting a backup copy of a game that was released more than 30 years ago.

What are you buying:

• Empty cartridge (without software) made of new parts with graphics. 
• Shell from injection molding machine.
• Removable flash memory 
• Box with a hole for a cartridge, graphics and foam (cartridge boxes come from used VHS. They may have traces of use. Unfortunately, I am not able to buy new such boxes.)
• Quick start guide and poster.
• All graphics are made on glossy paper with a weight of 130g.
• Everything is handmade.
• Possibility to put your logo or nickname (personalization of the project).

On special request, I can design backups for other game titles. Please contact me in this matter. You can watch my games being backed up. I have all of them in the original version (they do not constitute an auction offer).  

Due to eBay regulations I had to remove an external link to one of the largest sites that allow users to post videos online for free. In the video I show how to build cartridges from scratch. You can search the internet for "How to build a cartridge for Atari XL XE".

The photos posted in this auction also contain original game boxes released in the 80's. They are not a commercial offer.

If you want to buy multiple products, please contact me. You only pay for the shipment once.
