Philflound Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I finally got around to revising the Atari label variation list and Quadrun was missing. I know it's a Silver2 picture label, but I'm wondering if it's a C1, C2, or C3. For those of you who don't know what this is, C1 is locking protector, C2 is sliding protector, and C3 has no protector. Feel free to PM me or reply to the post. I plan on having the entire variation list up and running in completion in 1 week. I took a hiatus from it for several months, but with the acquisition of more games from storage, I need to get this up if I intend to sell the variations. Thanks.

AtariAger Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 My Quadrun is...C1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted April 2, 2005 Author Share Posted April 2, 2005 Cool good to know that's the first variation. Is there a C2 or C3? I actually do not own the silver label version, but only the Best labl loaner. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariAger Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 My Atari Lab Loaner is also...C1. Don't know if that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted April 2, 2005 Author Share Posted April 2, 2005 The lab loaners were in original cases with the locking protector, so that's fine. I'm just looking to see if there were other versions of the silver label. When I get finished with the list, before putting a "final" copy up on the website, I'm going to ask for a list of games that I need more specifics on. I may review Tempests list on his website to see if I can get some answers too. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 What's the difference between C1 and C2? I can understand what C3 is as most 7800 games were like that But I've fairly sure I've got examples of C1 and C2 in my 2600 collection, just don't know exactly which you mean by each description.

video game addict Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 You can push the sliding C2 dust shield up with your fingers. With the locking shield C1 you have to use something (screwdriver, toothpick, etc) inserted into the two slots to unlock first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 The C2 slots are easy to see from the outside, as the slot at the bottom is unbroken. Inside the cartridge there are two springs wound around plastic posts that keep the dust cover pressed down towards the bottom of the cart. These are a bit harder to get back together than the more common C1 style carts, especially if you manage to take apart the dust cover mechanism. I only rarely encounter the C2 variety of carts. I'd guess that for every 200 Atari 2600 carts I take apart, one of them might be a C2. The rest are C1. I don't use C3 carts for homebrew games, as they have holes under the main label. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
