How badass would it be to own even one of those magical objects, all worth roughly $25,000?
- A Talisman made of 18K gold, with 12 diamonds and the birthstones of the twelve Zodiac signs embedded in it.
- A Chalice made of gold and platinum, adorned with citrines, diamonds, green jade, pearls, rubies, and sapphires.
- The "Crown of Life," made of gold and encrusted with aquamarines, diamonds, green tourmalines, rubies, and sapphires.
- The "Philosopher's Stone,": a large chunk of white jade in a 18K gold box encrusted with diamonds, emeralds, citrines, and rubies.
Now, to get your hands on one of these bad boys, one had to compete in what was supposed to be a four part tournament series held by Atari in the 80's. The game series, "Swordquest", was split into four worlds (Earthworld, Fireworld, Waterworld, Airworld), and each game came with a funny little comic book needed to complete the game, and solve the puzzle. But enough background.
Oh, there was also the grand prize, which was, quite fittingly, a sword.
And it looked just like that one.
This whole thing sounds so damn cool right? Wrong. Well, it WAS cool. But wrong. Fuckin Atari only released the first three games, of which two held their tournaments. Thats crap. You are telling me Atari went through all the trouble of advertising this, having the Crown, Philosopher's Stone and Ultimate Destruktor Sword made, then said "aww fuck this", gave some spiel about gaming economy and rage quit?
Fuck you, your sword and your Kia Rio Jack Tramiel.
He totally owns a Kia1 Rio.
Side note: If you really wish to own (steal) either the chalice or talisman, find some dudes name Michael Rideout and Steven Bell, respectively.
