MegaManFan Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 I just got my package from Marco today (thanks Marco!) with the copy of Tooth Protectors I won, and he threw in an unexpected surprise. By the label, which reads "Reever Raad," I could pretty much assume what game it was going to be; but I figured it was some weird PAL bootleg of the game that wouldn't play on my 2600 or would lose vertical hold. Lo and behold, I pop it in and flip on the switch and it displays PERFECTLY. The colors? Wow. If that's what people playing it in PAL saw, I feel for you. The only "Reever" you could "Raad" that way would be one on Mars! I looked around to see if this one was in the AA database anywhere but couldn't come across it. So, if the Al's so request, I'll scan the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Gill Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 That is cool! Reever Raad sounds a lot like two weird NTSC games that I picked up a couple of years ago. Spaidder Fight and Seea Gueast. What does the front lable look like? -Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 If you can scan it for us, we'll add it to the db and post the scans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 The colors? Wow. If that's what people playing it in PAL saw, I feel for you. Don't worry, on a PAL TV the colors will look quite ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I should add that in another thread, Marco told me the cart was a Brazilian import that uses PAL-M standard; which is apparently close enough to US NTSC that this is the reason it works.

Marco(2) Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 If that artwork on the top label looks familiar, look at the artwork on a Sancho or John Sands box, especially the explosions... and then, look at the artwork on the Atari 32in1 box, more precisely the explosions around mario's hands.... a mere coincidence? ... or proof Atari was involved in piracy? Read more on this in the intro to the Atari 2600 section of the new Digital Press Guide!! I wrote a little conspiracy theory in there and am curious about your thoughts on that Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Wow, that's a cool little cart you have there (Though I'd be more excited about the Tooth Protectors). I wish PAL Xenophobe used the PAL-M Standard, so I could play it on my TV . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 I wish PAL Xenophobe used the PAL-M Standard, so I could play it on my TV . Speaking about PAL-M: I have never seen a true PAL-M dump. All Brazilian binaries I have checked so far, are 100% pure NTSC (no PAL colors). Does anybody know of a real PAL-M cart, that shows wrong colors, when played on NTSC : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted December 7, 2002 Author Share Posted December 7, 2002 Does anybody know of a real PAL-M cart, that shows wrong colors, when played on NTSC : If these are the real colors, I'd hate to see the wrong ones!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
