MegomanJess Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I've been wondering this for a while what do some carts have numbers stamped into the end labels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Those carts are the very first release games that got released with the heavy sixer back in 1977. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegomanJess Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 But my Star raiders is stamped also and it's copyrighted 1982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Are the numbers like for example "01 Surround" or are they just copywrite dates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 He's referring to the number stamped. That refers to the year and the week during that year the cartridge was produced. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Yeah. I believe he's referring to the date codes on the end labels. I think this was only done for some picture and silver label carts. Anyone know during what period they did this? Couldn't have been for long; I have far more regular than stamped carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I believe he's referring to the date codes on the end labels. This? I've truthfully always wondered what those meant. I chose "Crazy Climber" just to show off, BTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Yeah I believe the first two numbers are the week of the year, and the last number is the last number of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
