Cybertom Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Hi guys, i got some games today and found this one in it . I was wondering if it works on the 2600 because it first looked like a colecovision cart for me - also the label says colecovision . Any intentions on the rarity ? greetings Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 That is a ColecoVision cart, it won't work on an Atari 2600. It's a fairly easy game to find for the ColecoVision. oopsie ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voch Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 It's a ColecoVision cart. I need the end label scan for that...my copy has no end label. Voch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybertom Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 Hi Albert, that's what i thought first - but the reason why i posted this is the game works perfectly on my 2600 ! I couldn't believe it by myself but it runs great ! greetings Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Looks like you've got a label misprint. They slapped a Colecovision label on it by mistake (the end label is correct though). They probably ran out of labels or something. Neat! Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 that's what i thought first - but the reason why i posted this is the game works perfectly on my 2600 ! I am an idiot, of course. The Atarisoft ColecoVision titles are angled along the top sides down to the bottom of the cart in order to fit in the ColecoVision, plus the end label is different. I shouldn't have been so quick to respond. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybertom Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 Any idea how much it is worth ? I never come across one since i started collecting. greetings Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Any idea how much it is worth ? I never come across one since i started collecting. greetings Tom Probably not too much since the Colecovision run is so common. It'd be easy to buy a Colecovision one, then heat gun the label off and put it on an Atari cart. Still a cool find, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 You can find these in Holland and Germany, I think I've seen 2 or 3 different titles. They're not ultra rare or anything, but it's still quite a nice find. Most collectors probably won't go crazy about this valuewise, as they'll probably view it as yet another PAL aberration.

Cootster Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Looks kinda piratical, like somebody was making Centipede carts and decided to use a version of the cooler CV label instead of the 2600 one . . . And of course, there'd only be 2 or 3 titles, since Atarisoft only released 3 CV games, right? (Centipede, Dig Dug, Defender). The actual label would be larger, and I'm pretty sure 2600/CV carts weren't assembled at the same plant . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
