Sr. Ferraz Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 Dear Rom, The error that occurred when I put my last post (placed on the topic 4 times the same post), unable to 'repair' correctly because the scans disappear (the posts are 'interconnected'). I answered your question and added scans of the carts (see the previous page). I moved the index for the first page. As the error occurred I put here (again) scans of the manual (instructions).

Rom Hunter Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) Dear Rom, In some cartridges of Polyvox are 'recorded' years as 1980 and 1981 (example). It's impossible that the Polyvox has made carts these years, Polyvox began production ('manufacturing') of the Atari 2600 in Brazil only in 1983. I bought my Atari at the 'beginning' of 1984, the unit came with the "Catálogo de Jogos" (blue). Thanks for the info and the scans, Sr. Ferraz. I always put the year that's on the cartridge as a reference on our site (instead of the release year), but if there's no year mentioned on the cart, I will use the release year. I'm still not certain if the first seven titles on this list were released in 1983 or 1984 though. http://www.atarimania.com/lst_soft.php?MEN...I=VERSION_ANNEE They were not mentioned in the blue catalog at all.

Rom Hunter Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) All added: http://www.atarimania.com/lst_soft-MENU-2-...-VISU-SCAN.html Again: many thanks, Sr. Ferraz! Well, only one shitty scan left: http://www.atarimania.com/zoom_frame.php?T...amp;NUM_IMAGE=0 And one scan still missing: http://www.atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?...ERSION_ID=16311 The rest, as expected, is vapourware.

Sr. Ferraz Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) Dear Rom, When I buy a cart of the game 'Math Gran Prix' by Polyvox I put the scan here. Some companies in Brazil manufactured cases ('suitcases') for Atari 2600. The 'Framar' (name created by the company "Vigorelli") manufactured with the name "Video Computer Case". The company "Vigorelli" was famous for manufacturing speakers ('box of wood'), 'sewing machines' and other items. Part of wood from speakers sold by 'Polyvox' and 'Gradiente' were manufactured by "Vigorelli". This case was manufactured in various colors, below I put in yellow and natural (with 'varnish'). Another interesting case (I don't know the name of manufacturer) has the image of the game 'Pac-Man' on the cover. The case has a place to 'move' the wires of the RF cable and AC power adapter (may close with cables). I put the images of this case with the Atari case (Atari Club?) for comparison, this case has greater length and less width. I added 2 ADS (Magazine Ad) about the 'new' product (in 80's). The case came with a simple ads ("instruction"), I added the image below (rare to find). Edited June 7, 2012 by Sr. Ferraz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Fantastic, Sr. Ferraz. I love that yellow case. LOL Imagine walking through the streets of Rio with that one back in the eighties. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brunocfernandes Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Imagine walking through the streets of Rio with that one back in the eighties. If you do this today here in Rio, you are going to be robbed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sr. Ferraz Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 I particularly don't like the yellow color of the case ("I am here!"), prefer the natural color or with 'varnish'. In the eighties (in 1983 for example when began production) was more 'natural' you walk in the street with a case of these (56 x 25,5 cm...), 'even' with the yellow color. In my opinion, today I would not be 'robbed' by walking in the street with this case, it's very simple and without any 'finish' ('beauty'), the Atari case.... ## Polyvox 'Jungle Hunt' instructions, the page 7 has nothing (blank).
