pacgreg Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I just noticed my Mario bros end label reads MARIO BROS.* P. What does this mean? Do I have a reproduction? Does P stand for Prototype? Does anyone else have this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 No, it's just the PAL version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacgreg Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 It seems to work fine on an Ntsc vcs and tv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats90245 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I have a similar cart. P on the end label and it works fine on my US system. Anyone else have a similar cart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troff Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 There are known variants of other NTSC games that have the PAL "P" on the end label. Specifically "Joust" and this thread suggests maybe Video Pinball, too: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/165815-video-pinball-cart-with-p-on-end-label-but-not-pal/?hl=%2Bjoust+%2Berror&do=findComment&comment=2048495 I have a NTSC Joust "P" - it would be cool if there were a Mario Bros variant, too. Sadly, I can't be sure of mine because the end label is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nanochess Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Sometimes PAL works just fine in NTSC but colors are changed. Check what you see with Atarimania for example. But as pointed before some NTSC carts are mis-marked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
