Sonic R Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I was recently at a local game shop, and while browsing through the 7800 games, I noticed that Xevious had slight differences in the labels… I am aware some folks like to collect variants and was wondering if this had been known? and is it possible that other games may also have various labels?

Atariman Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'd be surprised if this label variation isn't known, but I can't say for sure (I'm not going to look it up, either!). I know there are other 7800 games that have slight label variations as I have kept them when I came across them, but don't have a list of those that I have observed handy. I have a vague recollection of having two slightly different Karateka carts as well as a few others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Quack Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hi I'd interested in what game shop you visited. I have a couple of Disc Replays near me that have everything from Atari on up. I'm always looking for those game shops when I go for vacation or possibly there is a shop near me that I don't know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Their pricing system is so weird. They have some really hard to find games for amazing prices, but also sell common games for twice what they would go for on ebay. Oh well, at least you can score a nice deal there sometimes (although with 5+ of us picking it over, the odds are not in our favor). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Thanks for posting this, another variant to add to my list of games to look for. The search continues.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I think I have both of these, would need to dig through some boxes to verify it though. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubular Gearhead Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) I looked through my Xevious carts last night and I also have both variants. The one with the bold, white label is copyright 1986 and all the other plain (at least I think they are plain) ones are 1987.
