nukeshed Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hello all, I don't particularly collect Non-US 2600 games (or 2600 seriously at all), but when I stumbled upon this, I decided I better grab it before someone else does. Even if it doesnt fit into my specific game collections, I like odd packaging, which makes this a lovely addition should it not have any value. I seem to have an HES copy of River Raid in its clamshell. It's been a bit abused by the pictures, but I have never seen this before, and I was unable to find another one like it, either in the Marketplace here, or on eBay, though frankly, I only did a cursory check. I have tried to take clear pictures, but my camera is not the greatest. Hopefully they illustrate what is needed. I will be scanning and trying to preserve the packaging as best possible, I just need to access a scanner at this time. What I would like to know is A) if there is any interest in these clamshelled games, B) if this has any value more than nostalgia, and C) if anyone wants a deal on it Thanks, Solo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofrills100 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 From an Australian point of view - it is very common (sorry to say) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaWarrior Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 That looks like a bootleg game Where can you get cases like that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeshed Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 What I understand is that a lot of (if not all) HES games came in said boxes? Perhaps an Aussie could clarify 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I'm not Aussie, but you're pretty much correct. HES released a lot of games, some without the permission of companies (like Nintendo or Sega), and the majority come in clamshell cases like this.

nofrills100 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 HES - Home Entertainment Supplies Australia I believe had the license to release relabelled and repackaged Activision titles in Australia, and some other company's too. They were a pretty legit company, so I would be surprised if they released anything without permission, but you never know? http://www.atarimania.com/pgelstsoft.awp?system=2&type=G&publisher=1702&step=25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
