Absalon Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I just bought a sealed (pal/secam) copy of space Shuttle on ebay. Unpacking it I found the cartridge and a manual but no overlays. I'm kind of disappointed, because I really wanted to play this game with those overlays. So - does somebody know about boxed versions of the game without the overlays? I can't find any information about it. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jeremiahjt Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 The later NTSC releases did not have the overlays, so it makes sense that at least some PAL or SECAM releases were the same. In the US, the black and white manuals are indicative of the later releases that did not have the overlays. I do not know if there were color manuals in Europe, but if there were, then your black and white manual probably means you had a later release. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Color manuals and overlays were made for the PAL version: BTW, your cart is PAL, not SECAM. Edited June 23, 2023 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's the same box, but the SECAM version carries a S sticker and the game looks different:http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-space-shuttle-a-journey-into-space_19855.html Yes, there are PAL copies without overlays. They contain the black & white manual like you have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
