It is, but it doesn’t sit in my shelving unit properly and a top label with artwork would be pretty neat I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with both tbh, ngl imagine if they altered the classic Red Label boxes from the late 80's to add some m-network flair to the boxes! TBF my only boxed atari game is Air Raiders, sooooo.... idk take what i say with grains of salt/sand 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOD-I Posted Wednesday at 05:44 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:44 AM I think that with the firmware update it is becoming an awesome way to play atari on modern tvs! Having to use cartridges has got me collecting for atari 2600 and 7800 games again which in itself is fun. Hopefully the next update will allow for touchpad/keypad/driving controllers to be used. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's super fun to free yourself from the rom prison.... Plus I love getting all these new games with dip switches ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen that the box art for the M Network compilation in the US seems to be different to the European version? Atari.com Bol.com (Dutch Amazon like online retailer) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudografx Posted Wednesday at 04:28 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:28 PM It is also worth noting that the DIP switch settings seem to be upside down between the two versions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the Dutch one, but surely it will be the same worldwide as all 2600 carts are NTSC, so I doubt they'd go to the expense of two different boxes. I wonder which is correct? Probably Atari.com's version sadly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, all boxes are different. Some completely, some only have a different "Atari 7800" logo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiftLock Posted Wednesday at 07:24 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:24 PM (edited) Yes that's the European version it seems, not just Dutch. It is the version being advertised in Australia too, a PAL region thing. I personally like the American design more, it looks action packed!

On the subject of Epyx, is the collection licenced? Or have Atari purchased the IP? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
