These are those games made by Mattel for the Atari 2600:
Bump'N'Jump
Astroblast
Burgertime
Frogs and Flies
Kool-Aid Man
Space Attack
Dark Cavern
I pulled a cover from a guy's offer on here, but I'd really LOVE to have one more like the box art. I love the way M-Network boxes looked, very TRON looking, imo.

and see how uniform the are:

they really stood out, and made me want them back then

I've got a few boxed m network games.  Not sure which ones.  Should be able to knock together a template though.  Give me an couple of hours.

AWESOME! They desperately need game cases. They grow dust bunnies badly on the shelf. when I looked at pics of the boxes online, i recalled how much I really loved the boxes. Too bad my mom made me get rid of them all. If I could go back in time, I'd keep my games in their boxes, on a shelf, and convince her the boxes are vital, like for board games.

Frogs and flies




if anyone can offer better quality images for the front, these can be replaced at any time - but everything else should be pretty much spot on.  They are a bit of a pig to cut out the front images.

lol - flattery will get you everywhere!

they are all in my box.net, along with a modified 2600 template which includes the M Network format.

haha! That is AWESOM! I am not even sure that game came with a cover. I got mine from drinking 120 packs of Grape Kool-aid...and now I HATE that flavor!  I remember it very well, my brother Donald and I drank SO much Grape KA that summer we almost drowned...and then the game came.

moving the goal posts! not fair! lol  ;)

according to atari ages, the Matel version of this game didn't conform to the template above.

do you want it in the retail style, or as per the above covers?

wow, so they broke-out of the mold. I bet the uniform covers are from the first year, and BNJ is from a later year of releases.
Is there a Facebook site for this or similar? I often post TOY pictures on Action Figure Addicts, and then using that for pictures, I post those to Toy Forums.
If not, it's just as easy to post on my FB page and link from there.
like, i posted this picture this morning to the MICRONAUTS facebook group because it's micronauts, not because it's Atari.

and also in my email box...my order was received for 100 Universal Game Cases!
ouch!
$59.00 + $25.44 FedEx Ground Shipping = $84.44 (FOB Simi Valley CA)

Bump 'n' jump

Looks pretty freakins good if i say so myself!



had to use guesswork on the spine as i couldnt find an image of it, and the screenshots aren't exact - anyone wants to grab the exact screens with an emulator, i'll update it.  Other than that - rebuilt from scratch and pretty spot on.

looks great! I'll probably swap the spine spaces of the title logo and "for the Atari 2600" just for balance. Not sure what it should look like, either.  That concludes all of my M-Network games...unless I find more at the Flea Market this weekend when I go with my friends to the Toy Show.  
Thanks for all your hard work!
there, this is now what it looks like.
