karokoenig Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Weird Donkey Kong cart by Pet Boat. It seems to have been a 4-in-1 package, so the front label is identical to Defender from the same publisher. That one you already have in the database, but Donkey Kong is missing. I scanned the endlabel as well, and the lower back of the cart with the relief numbers on it. No idea if you need such details, but ya never know... I'll test the cart tomorrow to see if it's Donkey Kong at all. Could be anything. Would you take bad photos taken off a mediocre flatscreen monitor for screenshots, or is that out of the question? The console I have to try the cart on stands in an exhibition at the museum where I work. It's the only console I have in reach right now.

Rom Hunter Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Thanks for the scan! I already have a Pet Boat scan in my archive and since it's a generic front label, no other Pet Boat front label scans are needed. I'm interested in which game it is, though. If you could post a screenshot (if it's something else then Coleco's Donkey Kong), please do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could post a screenshot (if it's something else then Coleco's Donkey Kong), please do. So it's just the endlabel scans that are of interest. If you are sure that all the 4-in-1 packs of Pet Boat have the same front label (which they probably do), go for it. Have you ever seen the 1,2,3,4 numeration on the back of other carts? I haven't. Also, I would be interested in information about where exactly those things were manufactured. I just tested the cart. It is absolutely one hundred percent Donkey Kong. Feel free to help yourself out of your Donkey Kong database for screenshots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to help yourself out of your Donkey Kong database for screenshots. End label scans are not really needed for these. Thanks for the Donkey Kong confirmation! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water Warfare from 'Space Shuttle' AKA 'Unknown Game 1' from Datatech water warfare.JPGdatatech.JPG Hmm interesting. So how many games did Datatech release or were rumored to release? 1 title, and 2 unknowns according to atarimania. Where did you get those three from Rom? There are no scans, so I'm guessing from some paperwork or brochure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) No, the two without scans are purely based on the company's logo on screen. They were found on a VCS clone and dumped. I'm still hoping to get a front label scan from Marco of that Seal to Whales cart. Very curious how it looks like.

boxpressed Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I've been meaning to upload these. I believe that you have the incorrect info for the Imagic Canadian Atlantis. The serial # on the back of my box is 710103-3A. The part # is IA 3203C (on the spine). Your photos show an international box, which could have been sold in Canada, but I believe I have a Canadian-only variant with only French and English. It is sealed, hence the weird image.

karokoenig Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Here's label scans for a Centipede Pirate by Planetary Headquarters/Hin Seng (http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-centipede_19486.html). Awesome looking cart, a bit inspired by the Parker Brothers design, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
