Cauldron Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 I have a Frogger game that matches the look of the label scan on this site. The question I had is this: WHY WON'T IT FIT??? Most Atari carts are square at the connection point, this one has slanted sides. It is the same width, length, depth, etc. of an Atari cart, but because of that slant, it won't fit in the unit. I have compared it to other console systems, and it doesn't fit either. Any ideas? Could this be a PAL version that mysteriously ended up in my local thrift store? A normal card: ___________ | | |__________| Frogger cart: _____________ / |____________| Any ideas? Is this rare? Or am I just stupid and haven't found the right console for it yet?

+Mitch Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 It sounds like a Colecovision cart. Mitch http://atari7800.atari.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Atari Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 I'd say it's Colecovision. I remember going into a thrift and seeing Colecovision Donkey Kong. At first I didn't realize it wasn't 2600 and got all excited think I found a proto or rare label variation, then I saw Colecovision on it, and threw it at the clerk. Okay, that isn't totally true, but it did have the slant you described on your Frogger cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the store I have wonder me, that the board is bigger. But the Lable look like a pirated Keystone Kaper that I know, so I have buy it.

Cauldron Posted April 7, 2002 Author Share Posted April 7, 2002 Okay, so I'm stupid.. It's a Colecovision cart. Next time I will look a little more closely before I tell my wife she can buy it. BTW, if anyone is looking for any Odyssey2 carts, I found about 5 at the same thrift store... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
