Izumidai Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 I'm new to the forums but not the site. I was looking for a way to ask a question to those in the know. I have some Activision games that say International Edition under the title of the game. At the bottom of the game it has 5 different languages on it. The english on says: one player using the left joystick controller. Can anyone give me some information on this? It would be greatly appreciated.

sku_u Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Actvision, being the strange company that they are, distributed some titles to Canada and Europe as International Editions. Some have multi-lingual labels, some don't. There's been some discussion about them in several topics in these forums, this one being one of the more posted in: http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.p...ational+edition These labels are not very hard to come by, but are cool to have from a collector's standpoint. This site has pictures of many of the International Edition labels: www.atariguide.com Welcome to the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 I have a couple, they are PAL and pretty much useless to me. If anybody wants to trade me for NTSC versions shoot me a PM. I somehow doubt I'm going to be inundated with requests Welcome to AA, Izumidai. Poke around a bit, there's a ton of info and good people here.

Lauren Tyler Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 I'm looking at a couple right now. It's rather interesting to say the least. Some are in multiple languages (such as Decathlon, which is in English and French) and some aren't (like Bridge.) As usual, there's some Actiplaque on them.

Lauren Tyler Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Also, Polyvox released some Activision games with a silver label like some of Atari's mid-80s releases (like Pole Position and Galaxian for example.) A rather interesting sight to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 I need to take back my offer from my earlier post. I got home from work and looked at my stuff. My memory is tuning to @$!%. I have an Internation Edition Pitfall, a frostbite in English/French (SECAM? It's not NTSC) and 3 PAL Atari carts: Dig Dug, Pole Position, Space Indvaders. If anybody wants them they are welcome. I'll trade them all for like 2 common NTSC carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
