ismokeblunts Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I know they indicate which department the carts were to be used in, but is there any details avilable regarding exactly what the color coding was? I have 2 different 5200 prototypes with red stickers, and have seen others scanned with the red sticker. What's the full story on these? If one ever came out that is.

Wickeycolumbus Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I've heard different things, ROM size (seems wrong), intended use, department, etc... It'd be nice to hear the real answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismokeblunts Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Well, browsing scans I see a lot of redstickered lab loaners. My Galaxian and Centipede loaners are both red stickered. I've also seen a few blue stickers looking at scans. Was always curious what this actually meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I've heard different things, ROM size (seems wrong), intended use, department, etc... It'd be nice to hear the real answer. The Deparment / Intended Use idea was my theory and I think I actually got confirmation on this from an Atari person at one point (I'll have to check my notes). Stuff like Archival Copy, Review Copy, Internal Use, Test Copy, Focus Group Copy, Programmer Copy, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
