Nukey Shay Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 In other countries, Footballis a game virtually identical to Soccer (only with much more hype). Only America got it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukey Shay Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Hey! They let the short Europeans kick the ball. Otherwise, the rest is war...and the ball is delivered by any means. Here in the US, we let the girls wear the shorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaXpress Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Now, if he found a game called Football which actually plays Soccer, that's easy. But a game called Soccer which is actually Football would have to be a production error. American football has never been known as "soccer."

incog Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 The 'P' means its PAL, I'm English so most of my carts end in P... sounds like your cart was from Europe obvious> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Hi there! Ya it is not Football that playes soccer. THe labe sayes REALSPORTS SOCCER P and when played it playes football. Throw it away and buy another one. Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulEMoz Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Ya it is not Football that playes soccer. THe labe sayes REALSPORTS SOCCER P and when played it playes football. Well that's right, because soccer IS football. It's not even called soccer in the majority of the world. As for American "football", well, we play rugby instead. Similar game, but we're not so girly that we have to be all padded up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dykesr Posted May 3, 2004 Author Share Posted May 3, 2004 Theoretically if it is a pal cart it shouldnt play on my TV but it does just fine. The wierd part though is that thelabe is the silver soccer label. I am all confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wierd part though is that thelabe is the silver soccer label. I am all confused. End label mixup, perhaps? Or maybe whoever owned that one originally had a bunch of end labels fall off and put 'em all back wrong. :-) Or, your TV is capable of automatically syncing at 50Hz. (Do they make any of those in North America? I know they make TVs in Europe capable of automatically switching between PAL and PAL-60).

dykesr Posted May 3, 2004 Author Share Posted May 3, 2004 NO idea on the TV's but the label also says realsports soccer and it is the regular soccer label. That woulb make my day thought if my tv could play Pal carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davepesc Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 There are some error carts floating around out there, though. I have an Amidar that Plays Frogger. I don't know if it is mislabeled or they put the wrong board in, but I have no reason to think it is a fake. I got it in an eBay lot of like 30 games for $25 or so. Actually, that cart is what led me to AA, so some good has come from it either way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I have an error cart too. It's Mythicon's Star Fox. The cartridge and box both accidentally listed it as a "game". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Sounds to me like you're using the special top-secret TranslAtari console that Atari were prototyping back in '84... the idea was it would automatically convert a cartridge to whatever locale the game was played in, so text containing the word "color" would show as "colour" in the UK. It was so clever that it would even translate American Football into real football (or "soccer" as you so quaintly call it). Unfortunately, it appears the translation wasn't working right as it shouldn't have "translated" Soccer at all, but "Football" would have translated into soccer. Maybe yours is an early version.
