I guessed the white Coleco carts. They might be 16K internally (instead of 8K), only 4K got dumped. But that's just a guess.

I don't think though this was the game I remember Thomas telling me about. Someone just mentioned Robot Tank. I think it was that but then Im confused cause someone else sent me Robot Tank and it was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Tank is definitely having issues. At least my NTSC one is and I've seen many reports of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please ignore me, my Robot Tank has the wibbly wobbly screen - I posted about it here on AA. I need to slow down a bit lol.

The actual box has more modern flavor. Both designs are very good, however I feel that the actual design will have more appeal to younger generations.

Me, I think they should have done a take on the original 70s packaging, including the chess piece graphic. Because now that one guy can't sue you. You know he's still out there somewhere playing Video Chess. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2600+ wasn't worthy of that level of recreation. As for chess, insane story, imagine having to commission a game due to that. What to be a fly on the wall back in the day when that legal conundrum came in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben from Plaion Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Some kind fellow is sending me some Coleco white shell rev 3 carts as well as a couple of m-network games. So, hopefully it can all be tied up nice next week. then Pitfall 2! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
