Zwackery Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) Something is definitely written on the sticker. I can't quite make it legible, but these in these pics I manipulated the color and brightness and you can see some text there.

Crazy Climber Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 I got him to post a pic of the back of the cart. I don't see any text on that sticker. All I see is black and gold blotches. Anyone else see any form of text on it? Well it does show the color of the cart much better (standard,white) so that's on mystery down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Turn the cart around: And you read this: Looks legit to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yep:http://www.atarimania.com/zoom_frame.php?T...amp;NUM_IMAGE=1 cool thanks. Only thing I'm wondering about now is the part on the edge where it looks like a) someone was trying to peel it off or b) some one did peel it from another game and stuck it on this cart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I used to have CIB PAL Marauder and PAL Jawbreaker back in the days. They both had that sticker on the back of the cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 I have owned all the PAL Tigervision carts CIB (well unless River Patrol does exsist?) and it was the same for me, some had stickers, some didn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have also been taken off the box and put on the cart cause some kid liked the shinny sticker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Not one single bid. Wonder if he will relist it with a more reasonable starting price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Not one single bid. Wonder if he will relist it with a more reasonable starting price? His best bet is just to list it at $100 or so and let a small bidding war start. That will give him the most bang for the buck. A dirty PAL cart like that won't command high prices; it's not the same as a NTSC one in great shape. Marco already has a prototype so there is at least one more copy out there. The worst thing the seller has going for him is River Patrol is one of the worst games for the 2600. I tried playing it once an I almost had a seizure from the horrible colors. In my experience they don't do too much to convert to these PAL carts. Maybe Tigervision did some more then other companies I don't know, but often there are like only two lines of code changed (the value loaded into the timer for Overscan and Vblank). Usually they don't care about the different speeds, colors, or music being too slow. I believe River Patrol is 3F bankswitching too, so you need a compatible 7800 to dump it if you go that route.

Rom Hunter Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Well, it deserves to be dumped. And (if truly PAL) it's the first labeled and released PAL River Patrol known to exist. I think it's quite special. The cart needs some cleaning, though. It looks like it has been dragged behind a truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) Tempting, Shawn. Well, if a $100 bidding war will be launched, I'll give it a try and if I win, you'll buy it from me for 3/4 of the total price and dump it. Deal?

Omegamatrix Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Incidentally, the best way to clean that cart is of course with Mr. Cleans’ Magic Eraser. The white case and white (coral? foam?) of Mr. Clean work well together. I think I even recommended this treatment once to Stab. He had problems though because the Home Vision cart he was using had turned yellow from aging just like SNES consoles. The dirt however peeled away. I know I have turned a Polaris cart that looked much worse then this cart into virtually new condition with the Magic Eraser. The key is not to get it anywhere near the labels and just spend a little time. The bad thing about this cart is it still has no end label. Otherwise I don't know what to say about this cart. River Raid I & II did it so much better. The same could be said about Polaris (Tigervision's own). Cobra Triangle for the NES will always be a thousand times better then this game. If anyone wants to dump this cart then I offer my services. I believe I can dump this as I have dumped a Miner 2049er (PAL, 3F bankswitching) cart before. If you don't like the international thing (which I completely understand) then no worries as there should be others that can help, but I don't wnat to appoint people without knowing if (1) they can and (2) the want to. I have added this title to a list I got going of undumped games. This list still needs a lot of work because a lot of games are still missing. If anyone can help with dumping some of these titles though, then please do!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cart has been relisted at the same price As for your list, I have a few of those which I'll dump for you when i get the chance. None of the really rare ones apart from the Atari 16-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
