MegaManFan Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 The list of red label 2600 carts is a bit of a hash for me, since it includes so many PAL releases, so I'm trying to determine how many more reds I need for a complete set besides the ridiculous ones like Ikari Warriors and Motorodeo. So far, this is what I have: + Berzerk VE (special) * Dark Chambers * Defender II * Desert Falcon * Donkey Kong * Donkey Kong Jr. * Double Dunk + Fatal Run (PAL conversion) * Jr. Pac-Man * Mignight Magic * Mouse Trap + Polo (special) * Q*Bert * Radar Lock * RealSports Boxing * Road Runner * Secret Quest * Sentinel * Solaris * Space Invaders * Sprint Master * Super Baseball * Super Football * Xenophobe The ones with + signs are the ones I acknowledge aren't regular U.S. red labels from the 1980's, but which so good matched with the real ones I keep them together in my collection. So, what else do I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bivotar Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Wasn't Gravitar a red label game? Of course there's the silver club edition, but the regular release was red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted August 4, 2003 Author Share Posted August 4, 2003 I think the only Gravitar I have rolls though (PAL even though I bought it here in Omaha) so I don't count it. Have to double check that now that you mention it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I love the red label games! Got my Xenophobe on the way! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...0&category=3537 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2600 Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I own a few. Midnight Magic Crossbow Gravitar Solaris Jr.Pac Man Venture (CIB) The red labels are sweet for sure. I'd like to get more over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 You can sort by label type, don't 'cha know? Atari Red Label Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 There's just something about red labels that's really cool, know what I mean? I gotta start beefing up my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted August 5, 2003 Author Share Posted August 5, 2003 You can sort by label type, don't 'cha know? Atari Red Label But that's exactly the list I was complaining about. Too many PAL titles on it, and no way to filter it to a US only list. I just realized I do have Crossbow but for some reason I didn't include it. I wonder if I ever took it out of the box! Anybody have an Off the Wall for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted August 5, 2003 Author Share Posted August 5, 2003 Whoops! I stand corrected. Also, turns out my Crossbow, Gravitar and Venture were all sealed for some reason!! I probably bought them all at the CGE at the same time and it never occured to me they'd be "the reds." Of course I had to remove Berzerk VE and Fatal Run to make room for them in the Atari books, but I'll live w/ it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattG/Snyper2099 Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I have 27 red label NTSC carts. (Not counting homebrews,hacks,ect.) I am missing Motorodeo,Ikari Warriors, and BMX Airmaster. So, I think there were 30 total. Correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I never understood why people call these "red" - aren't they brown?? Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Atari Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 The colors range from a dark reddish-brown to plain red. Not sure if it has to do with what year they came out in, but I tend to see earlier carts (from 1986 or so) with darker colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I never understood why people call these "red" - aren't they brown?? Cheers, Marco cause guys usually refer to a color by its closest primary, and never use fancy words for color/hue variants (for example, the 'RED' 2600 carts :-) _ red, green blue, yellow, black, white, thats about it :-) like the 'blue' tiger games and the 'red' tiger games etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsoper Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 BTW, those carts (along with 7800 ones) make the best repros and multicarts. They have the prongs directly connected so you don't have to fight that springloaded sliding cover business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I am missing Motorodeo,Ikari Warriors, and BMX Airmaster. Have NTSC versions of Motorodeo and BMX Airmaster ever been "officially" confirmed to exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted August 5, 2003 Author Share Posted August 5, 2003 Have NTSC versions of Motorodeo and BMX Airmaster ever been "officially" confirmed to exist? Good question. I know somebody bought an Ikari Warriors in Philly, but I've never seen either of the other two. One of them was sold in a sealed box via eBay auction but if the winner who bought it kept it sealed, he'll never know (nor do we know who it is anyway). I asked a few people about it though and they all thought it was probably PAL regardless what the auction claimed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmeroid Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Unusual red label games have been tormenting me recently - I managed to miss out on a CIB red label Centipede (woe is me!) and Moon Patrol although I did get red label Basketball & Pole Position Still yet to find a boxed red Asteroids.... I have also seen a red label Ms. Pac Man (loose cart) but I'm not sure if it's an Atari release or HES? Good luck with the hunting Steve!
