Stella'sGhost Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 So, I have this 2600 cart with no lable, I can't get it to work, I don't know what it is.... if I take it apart, will there be some kind of clue inside? .... it makes a lovely coaster. I know, this is a dumb topic, but I'm bored and it's late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Is the cart just a standard Atari cart? Like say as opposed to a Parker Brothers or other 3rd party cart? I say open it, whats it gonna hurt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say open it, whats it gonna hurt? The bigger question is, why has it not been taken apart yet if it does not have a label? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella'sGhost Posted October 20, 2004 Author Share Posted October 20, 2004 OK, I've opend it and it says: C011885 REV F ATARI 1978 its probably combat... anyone know what those numbers mean? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Yancey Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I was going to say make sure it's not a 7800 cart, but a date of 1978 rules that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Have you tried cleaning the board? It may work afterwards. Very few Atari carts I've come across have completely not worked. They seem to be extremely reliable. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella'sGhost Posted October 22, 2004 Author Share Posted October 22, 2004 I cleaned the board, the contacts, everything. It refuses to work. I tried it on my other 2600, nada. I still say a million bucks it's combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 right, Combat would work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 how well did you clean the contacts? if it's that early of a cartridge there's nearly 30 years of age on the contacts... try giving them a good *dry* scrubdown using an eraser at the end of a pencil. go over each contact well and then wipe it clean. try it out then and see what goes.

christianscott27 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 C011885 REV F ATARI 1978 its probably combat... anyone know what those numbers mean? i'm pretty sure the CO11885 is just the part number for the board itself and does not denote the game.

Stella'sGhost Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Yes I'm pretty sure that that number has nothing to do with the game. But it's stull a number, and that's a clue! Now we're getting somewhere.... I shall clean the contacts even more thoroughly and see what happens. exciting isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be extremely reliable. Phil I just boguht a Chopper Command for $1 from a local game store and when i got home i gave it the q-tip and rubbing alcohol and it still wouldnt wotrk. So i take it apart and rub it with an eraser and it still doesnt work. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.Yancey Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I got a Laser Blast at a thrift store once and when I went to play it, it was Chopper Command. Only the label said Laser Blast. And I had my heart set on a thrilling 3 hour game of Laser Blast Variation 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Once in awhile there will be a game that does not work no matter what you do. Keep the cart and throw away your $1 game. I think out of about 4000 carts I've tested, about 8 didn't work at all. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
