pinball22 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 220355043058 They look to be the right shape, but I can't find any pics online of any of those to be sure. The only version of River Raid I can find with that label is the PC Jr. one, and that's not the right shape to be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Looks like it. The Atari 8-bit and C64 Activision carts are very similar, but it looks like the C64 carts are a bit taller. Here's the 8-bit versions of River Raid and H.E.R.O., which have completely different labels than what's pictured in the auction: http://www.atariage.com/cart_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=2403 http://www.atariage.com/cart_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=2396 ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Yep they're C64 carts to me, he's in Australia and the River Raid is a HES release cos they've blanked out the Activision emboss at the bottom. Did HES release the Atari computer versions in Australia too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did HES release the Atari computer versions in Australia too? Yes there are A8 versions with similar labels down under as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Well they ARE the original Activision cartridges, HES had a license to sell them and make cartridge versions of other Activision titles that were on disk in Australia (see Ghostbusters, Wonderboy, Park Patrol etc).
