Jason_Atari Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hi all, i came across this auction on ebay and noticed the unusual silver labelled 2600 carts. The Air Sea Battle label design ive never seen before, and the way most of the silver labels are rounded on the corners are not normal. Has anyone seen these before? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/272046093150?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_Atari Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 I just noticed that the defender cart looks odd also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 At first I thought they might be Polyvox versions, but not so sure. Label is upside down too and the way the corners are rounded. Probably just some strange Eurasian variant or bootleg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I think they are "replacement" labels, notice how the endlabels are all missing as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_Atari Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks, yeah the labels are upside down, so the side your seeing is the cartridge slot, the end labels might still be on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 What a surprise, another Australian seller with possible fake crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofrills100 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Are they not just New Zealand released Atari games? They have specifically bigger that normal rounded corner labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_Atari Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Are they not just New Zealand released Atari games? They have specifically bigger that normal rounded corner labels. I didn't even know nz had their own different cart label designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Are they not just New Zealand released Atari games? They have specifically bigger that normal rounded corner labels. Actually you may be right. I forgot all about these since I don't own any. Can anyone confirm that NZ labels were put on upside down? http://www.atarimania.com/pgelstsoft.awp?system=2&type=G&publisher=2559&step=25 Rom is missing some of these scans so it would be nice if the winner could scan them and send them to him.

+FujiSkunk Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The seller's name, kiwi_pickers, would suggest he or she is in fact from New Zealand. Here is another page with info about variants specific to New Zealand, though pictures that show both the front and side labels seem a little hard to come by.

Philflound Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I actually wouldn't mind owning a few of these. Though funds are always low. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
