Scooter83 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I came across this on Ebay and could have sworn I saw a post about it on here. But encase it wasnt posted on here before I would share this link with you guys. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FATARI-Donkey-Kong-ALT-LABEL-400-800-800XL-1200XL-130XE-XL-XE-XEGS-8bit-8-bit-%2F291069301213%3F Its a regular release board and chips of the game ( from the pictures) but the label stood out and Ive never heard of American Techna-Vision. Maybe its a Mexican or Brazilan company? Like Polyvox was to the Atari 2600? Would love to hear more about this and the history behind it.

_The Doctor__ Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) American company, just a developer cartridge properly labeled by a developer/preview cart for retail. Edited February 1, 2014 by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter83 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Did they do any other titles outside of Donkey Kong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+David_P Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 ATV was a retailer like B&C or Best. I'm guessing they got a bunch of parts and assembled the carts themselves, and slapped on their homebrew label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hello guys American Techna-Vision advertised in lots of American computer (Atari?) magazines. They had lots of part for lots of Atari(peripherals)'s. I guess I must have drooled over each and every one of their ads. Sincerely Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
