ShinigamiKiba Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) This is all that's left of my huge Atari 2600 collection from back in the day, a few of these games I bought couple years back but most are from when I was a kid. Now, UFO Patrol was always one of my favorite Atari 2600 games, I loved it so much as a kid I tried putting it in backwards so I could see the image lol ended up breaking those plastic pegs or whatever but it still works perfectly. So I'm working on a gaming youtube channel now and was recording gameplay of UFO Patrol and figured I'd look it up online since sometimes I find it to be mixed up with Time Warp in ROM collections, sometimes the game labeled as Time Warp is this game I own and sometimes another depending on the ROM collection. Anyway my latest Atari 2600 ROM collection had the game labeled as UFO Patrol(X'Mission) and sure enough it was the game I own, tried to find gameplay or reviews on youtube just to see what people think and only found ONE terrible gameplay video on youtube: I only found one copy of the game sold on ebay under UFO Patrol and poor game sold for only about 3 bucks. I played mine on my Atari 2600 Jr. and it still works like a charm No I don't sell games, ever I can't wait to put up my review and everything of the game when I launch my gaming channel in the next month or two, seems I've had a real gem all these years.

Philflound Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I gather that the UFO Patrol you have is about $10.

ShinigamiKiba Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 I see, it does seem to be an unknown game at least since as I said I've never been able to find video reviews or anything. So my game was a part of a double package which came with two cartridges? What about this game then? This is ALSO labeled as UFO Patrol sometimes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOWldyuXFXw but it's a different game, I don't have this one Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/242885-i-have-ufo-patrolxmission-is-the-game-rare-or-is-it-just-me/#findComment-3324709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I did a search on the AA database. "ufo" does not appear anywhere in the database. Is this PAL or NTSC?

ShinigamiKiba Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 It's PAL, it does show up here http://www.atariboxed.com/index.php?go=database seems I have a more common version. I'm glad I own this game, it's just so much fun and I've never been able to find it on flea markets or anything in all these years.

Rom Hunter Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 If you ever find the original one:http://www.atarimania.com/game-x-mission_s10549.html please let us know, because it's extremely rare.

Philflound Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Atarimania is probably the best site to search for any game as the database is extremely comprehensive. Atariboxed is building themselves and so far as I know is all PAL releases. UFO Patrol was released by at least 3 companies, which are listed in the Digital Press Price Guide under Quelle, Rainbow Vision, and Suntek. I think your version would be the Quelle from what I see. Correct me if I'm wrong.

iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 His version was sold by Otto Versand, not Quelle.

Philflound Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I wish I could get my hands on more foreign carts. Hard to find them in the states for reasonable prices, and paying overseas shipping isn't much of an option.
