Captain Beard Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 For those of us who have decent enough eyes but are relatively new to the label collecting end of the hobby, how can you tell, exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 For those of us who have decent enough eyes but are relatively new to the label collecting end of the hobby, how can you tell, exactly? the "P" on the end label stands for PAL. The "N" on CPUWIZ's box stands for NTSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Cool... my bomb carts have a sticker that says NTSC on the box as well. Did most of these carts in the later years have NTSC or PAL on the boxes by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Did most of these carts in the later years have NTSC or PAL on the boxes by any chance? Only the ones from Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Beard Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) the "P" on the end label stands for PAL. Ha! I guess I do have bad eyes! I completely missed that. I thought there was some very subtle main label variation that I was too much of a noob to pick up on. Turns out I was just a blind dope.

Yep cause if it wasn't for French Quebec having a strong following for the charcters from France I doubt it would have got an NTSC release at all. The port of montreal has brought us many goodies up here in the GWN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Did any of you folks from the states every read Asterix comics? I read a few as a kid. I got those from the library when they were out of TinTin books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricDeLee Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 But... not all 'p's on the end label or whatnot mean PAL... right? I just recently found out about these, though I have never seen one in person: 'P' on the end label... yet NTSC Speaking of, how do you access the label variants pages like these? I simply clicked on a link in my database and it went there, I didn't know they existed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen that mostly with Atari Corps (big surprise there). I own a couple myself. In general "P" on the end label is PAL only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gospeedde Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Did any of you folks from the states every read Asterix comics? I read a few as a kid. I got those from the library when they were out of TinTin books. I did! I love them. I actually own all of the original series in French (not original release, though) even though I don't speak French. Someday I'll kidnap some poor Frenchman and make him translate for me. They're my favorite comics in any language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "N" on CPUWIZ's box stands for NTSC. Note also that CPUWIZ's box doesn't have the five language text just below the big "ATARI 2600". Neither does the PAL box! Boxes are identical except for the N sticker. The languages are on back. But for the auction above the manual is show with the multi languages on it, which if CPU ever decides to open his and find out, he would have exactly the same thing.

However, I don't want to end up with a bunch of PAL carts by accident, so I'll more than likely pass on those unless I find them locally or something.
