RickR Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hi all: I received a large CV lot today, and one of the items is a Lady Bug with a plain white label. Is this common? Maybe Canadian or European version? I'm just curious, as I've never seen one like this. But I am pretty new to collecting for CV. Thanks.

fiddlepaddle Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) I've not seen that label, nor that style of cart (Ladybug). Could it be a homemade copy? Good find.Edit: Oh. Telegames...I see. Edited June 4, 2013 by fiddlepaddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Thanks, I've learned something new today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegames_Personal_Arcade Frenzy is also in the lot. That is the one I started playing, and it is sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 These were unused/overstock cartridges that were manufactured by CBS Electronics and placed in CBS' very recognizable cartridge shell, but without a label. These cartridges were eventually sold off to TeleGames U.K. and from there the generic white label with black text was produced/applied to the cart shell, copies of typed-up instuctions made and they were packaged in what is referred to a Sliver Packs and sold off. I have included a picture of a Sliver Pack for Time Pilot and there were many other games that were given this treatment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I ordered a few Colecovision games from Telegames USA years ago and found out the Alacazar game, which had a generic white label also, didn't work properly on a Personal Arcade system-it would glitch up. I don't know if one would work on the ColecoVision ever since I sent it back for another game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I order alcazar from telegames as well in the 80's. This is the cart they sent me. Works great on a colecovision. Never had a Dina to test it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
