atarianer2003 Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hi, in my collection I've found this Super-Football-Cartridge - look on the end label On my 2nd SF-Cart there stands "Atari 2600" Is it rare or a common failure print?

Philflound Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Sorry, it came up after I posted that. I've never seen a 7800 end label and it is not listed on the label variation list I've been working on. I think this may be a very rare error. I'll check out Greiner's guide to see if he has it when I get home. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Anyone know if this game was ever planned for the 7800? Its kind of like that Colecovision Quest for Tires with the Atari 2600 label. Just wondering if possibly a similar situation happened here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikyo Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Anyone know if this game was ever planned for the 7800?Its kind of like that Colecovision Quest for Tires with the Atari 2600 label. Just wondering if possibly a similar situation happened here. I was thinking something like that when I saw it. A search for a 7800 version of Super Football turned out no results. Maybe there is a proto out there that needs discovering, or an actual release that just for some weird reason has not been documented yet? Anyway atarianer2003 is the part number different on the end lable? Because it could help detemine whether or not this is a print mistake or a prototype lable!

mrgameandwatch Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I think it could be the fact 2600 and 7800 carts are the same size. And the label/ end label are the same size. And perhaps this led to someone screwing up in manufacturing. It is somewhat hard to the non-observant ( ) tell the lables apart. Same color, same size, but different letterings (the 2600 and 7800 is the difference). I think you have the equivillent of an error-card (Baseball cards) in the Classic Atari world.

Mike Looks like there may be an Atari 7800 version then, batch numbers don't often tell lies, and the differences in the numbers indicate that there is probably somewhere a 7800 version which could be either a proto or an actual release. I think the number CX26154 is the game code for Super Football (any and all versions) while the CA4 codes are the version number. So that end lable may be a one-of-a-kind and I hope that if there is a proto that it turns up sometime in the future. I'm not too sure though as I haven't really studied batch numbers a lot other than each number indicates a different game (like each number indicates a different collectible card or whatever). Maybe Tempest or CPUWIZ would know more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I'd say that's pretty rare, as I've never seen one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBuff Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 make it 2 - i also have the same error on my loose super football cart :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienblue Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 According to digital press guide #7, "Super football...a few copies exist with 7800 on the end label" so this has been known for some time now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
