lazzeri Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hello, There are a few Activision Atari 2600 games that are not listed in any Activision catalogs, right? IIRC, "Cosmic Commuter", "Double Dragon", "Private Eye", "Rampage" and "River Raid II" are not listed even in later catalogs. I´ve got a mint River Raid II with a lot of paperwork but NO catalog whatsoever. A quick eBay hunt does seems to confirm that´s the case from the pictures I´ve found. Since I´ve neved had the opportunity to open any shrinkwrapped game of the above, i wonder: Does this later Activision games really were packed WITHOUT a game catalog? Thank you!

high voltage Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Is Ghostbusters even listed in a catalogue (Just found it in the 88 catalogue) Edited January 21, 2017 by high voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazzeri Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Is Ghostbusters even listed in a catalogue (Just found it in the 88 catalogue) It´s also on the 1984 B&W, cheap-looking catalog. http://atariage.com/catalog_overview.php?CatalogID=56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I bought a copy of Robot Tank new in shrinkwrap at a store closing sale ca. 1990, and it definitely did NOT include an Activision catalogue. It was the blue-label version of the cartridge. I remember being disappointed because I really wanted a copy of the catalogue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably those latter titles really came wthout it to save some pennies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Yeah, if they were so budget conscience to be releasing plain old blue text labels, makes sense they wouldn't be including something as fancy as a full color catalog showcasing golden oldies.

My copy of River Raid II was purchased new and still has the shrinkwrap on the box. I just pulled it out of storage to check its contents and found the instruction manual and this catalog inside. No other enclosures were included with my copy. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
