Osmeroid Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I've finally managed to track down a good condition CIB copy of Asteroids but upon reciept of said game, I noticed that the manual & box are copyright 1979 but the cart is copyright 1981, any ideas on this one? If it helps, this is a PAL copy with full multi-lingual box & manual and a seller with an excellent eBay rating. Is it one of Atari's misprint things or a messed up sale?

Happy_Dude Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 My guess would be Atari printed to many multi-lingual box's. a search of the boards will find lots of CIB discrepancies, some with NIB games. Atari wasn't very consistant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 If it was CIB and not NIB, there's always the possibility that somewhere down the line, someone did a mix and match where they had an extra box and manual and added an Asteriods cart to complete it.
