@CincYnoTi:  BTW, your avatar appears to be an Indy 500 re-release with black tape.  If it is a Indy 500 re-release that you can confirm, I'd very much like to add it to the list.  What year is it?

1986 Indy 500 with black tape :)

 

I made that my avatar the day I received it. You are the first person to comment on it. Notice the graphics extend outside the box?

Yes, I noticed that too. Very interesting. That's the first Indy 500 re-release I've seen. The black tape suggests that there is an error label out there too. :cool:

 

Here is a list of games that have no known re-release labels. If anyone has a re-release label for these titles, please let us know.

 

Combat - EDIT: Confirmed

Football

Human Cannonball

Maze Craze - EDIT: Confirmed by CPUWIZ

Space War

Superman

Video Chess

Slot Racers

 

I don't expect that Slot Machine, Star Ship, and Miniature Golf had re-releases because they were officially cancelled, but, then again, there is a re-release Blackjack, which, as I understand it, was cancelled. Plus, 'Space Mission' just showed up, so anything is possible.

 

Asteroids and Space Invaders are doubtful because they both had silver label re-releases during this period.

 

It seems highly unlikely that Basic Math, Hunt 'n' Score, and Championship Soccer were re-released as they were renamed Fun with Numbers, Concentration, and Pele's Soccer, and those three titles have re-releases.

Very cool stuff! Thanks for posting photos. I'll add these to the PAL section.

I've updated the list with all the information that I have. Entries in italics have not been directly confirmed. They were mostly gathered from the Giant LVAR list. Please let me know if you can confirm any of the entries that are in italics. Also, please let me know if you have any corrections, suggestions, or, additional variants.

 

Thanks.

Also,

 

A.J. has informed me that my html table is a mess under IE. The rules are not being rendered. I was relying on the spreadsheet program I was using to translate the table to html. The html table rendered fine in Safari, but I forgot to check it in anything else. I checked Firefox and it didn't render the rules either. I think the problem was rules=groups. I changed it to rules=all and it seems to work fine now. I also added a frame.

 

I've attached an updated list with the revised formatting. Please let me know if this is still not working for anyone. I've also attached a pdf snapshot of what I expect the table to look like (more or less).

Afraid not, looks too nice next to the other ones. :D

 

Although, I'll buy whatever I don't have, if it's CIB. :ponder:

How confident are you that Pac-Man and Video Pinball are PAL? I want to be careful and not add inaccurate information to the list.

I just have the carts, no box, no manual. But I do have other Pac-Man and Video-Pinball carts indicating PAL (with P on end label). When playing both Pac-Man and Video-Pinball on a PAL console and PAL television, I do not notice any difference to the PAL carts ...

It sounds like they are definitely PAL. I'll add them to the list. Thanks. :)
