AtariLeaf Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 The carts for the tandy color computer are called "rompaks" or "rom paks" although ebay sellers don't generally refer to them that way. My pet peeve is when people call carts "tapes" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornpipe2 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 When I sell Nintendo games on eBay I usually throw in the description "Has the official Nintendo Seal of Quality on the label, so you know it's good!" : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tursi Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hehe.. it's just "LOOK" (or worse, "L@@K") that bugs me.

Speaking of the Atari Pak's, Might be time update the rarity on those cause there is no way the School Pak is only a R6. the action pack is relatively common ... racing pack is a bit harder to find (but one is on ebay right now for 50$) ... and the school pak ist hard to find indeed ... i'd say R8 for that one ... i think it's an obvious thought that atari produced a lot less school paks compared to the other two as this one is just designed for a small group of (small) gamers ...
