homerwannabee Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) http://cgi.ebay.com/Atari-2600-unknown-car...1QQcmdZViewItem Not my auction - could find nothing here on atariage about it. . . That's the Vanguard artwork but that means nothing, I would guess. What interests me is more the casing. The casing is a Xante casing. I wonder if some dealer made a home made label to boost sells for the game. http://www.atariage.com/cart_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=1149 Edited November 14, 2008 by homerwannabee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I have done this unpardonable sin myself (which I apologize for) but not everyone catches the 'do not post auctions here' warning'. Anyway, please give us non-reading everything in the rules a break. I know you gave me a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Carts of the same series: Multi-game carts in this case. Notice the yellow upper border on the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasmame Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Possible scam as well - exact same photo as the one on the identifying page, only the auction's one isn't cropped. Odd. . .

Frostbite Bailey Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Yes, as that is what is on the end label it would make sense , then again when does anything with Atari make sense. God=Ms. Pac-Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostbite Bailey Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 OK CPUWIZ, H.E.R.O. it is then, who is going to win this and what price will it go for? I just threw in a couple bids to see what was going on and bumped it up $10.00 or so, shill bidding going on?? Maybe not; I have never seen one of these before, how about other members?

Cheers, FB I have never seen it before either ( I am no expert ), but I put in a quite large bid for the cart and have already been outbid! Shiller? Maybe, but seems kind of early for that shit.

Rom Hunter Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 It's almost certain H.E.R.O. For some reason these carts carry a cool looking label with a cool sounding name (Magnum, God, Commando, Zero, whatever), but the real game's title is on the end label. H.E.R.O. in this case.
