Tempest Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 I just got a hold of Pastfinder, but I was wondering if it has a normal label. I ask because I got it from Australia (no PAL/NTSC worries with the 400), but it looks very different than almost every other Activision label I've seen. It's Tan and just says Pastfinder on the top and has a little cross with a circle around it (like you see on the tops of tombstones) in the lower right (I think it's suppose to be an artifact). But other than the Activision text on the top of the cart there's no mention of copyrights or serial numbers. It also came in one of those Tele-Game style clam cases (HES did that too). I know it was one of the last (if not THE last) Activision releases for the Atari 400/800, but I don't know why they would change the label style. Unfortunatly it's also the rarest Activision release so I can't find another to compare it to. Anyone know if this is the normal label?

atari70s Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 i dont know waht you mean by Artifact on the lower right side of the label but so far it sounds the same to me . I have a Pitfall 2 label without the copywrite and the model number and looks alot like The 2600 style pitfall 1 game. ( text ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 12, 2001 Author Share Posted October 12, 2001 Ok, I'll scan it later. It's jsut got a tan label, and says PASTFINDER across the label with a little artifact in the lower right. It just says Activision on the top part of the label. I also just noticed that it doesn't say Activision on the case like the others do. It plays just fine though (but hard!).

Tempest Posted October 12, 2001 Author Share Posted October 12, 2001 Yep that's the Artifact that I was refering to. Damn hard game... Yes I do have Pitfall II for the 400/800. Best damn version this side of a 5200! Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari70s Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 what does your pitfall 2 look like mine looks like a pitfall 1 ofr the 2600 with brown ish red backround and a small pic that hardly looks like pitfall pastfinder rare?? i didnt knwo that i paid liek 1.25 for it neat little game. but the pitfall 2 cart is nothing like the pitfall 1 cart in label design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 12, 2001 Author Share Posted October 12, 2001 That's what the Pitfall II cart looks like, it's normal. Yes Pastfinder is damn rare. I've seen 3 total. I'm sure it's not UR or anything, but it's very hard to find. Now if I could only find the Designers Pencil my collection would be all set.

Gunstar Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 I used to have the Pastfinder cartridge, I bought it new at a local Atari dealer years ago when it first came out. As I recall, I traded it to a friend for a Spy Hunter cart and something else... I have the game on file now, I actually just started playing it a couple of nights ago, interesting that it should pop up as a topic so soon after I played it, especially considering what an obscure game it is.

Tempest Posted October 12, 2001 Author Share Posted October 12, 2001 Nah, I got it off Ebay Australia for $5. I don't know what the cart looks like for the Designers Pencil, I'v eonly seen it in the catalogs (although I know it came out).
