Arenafoot Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-59-Atari-2600-Games-/111364801339?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276 i saw this eBay lot just now and noticed the cart in the lower right hand corner is an M Network "Lock 'N' Chase" cart........but its a really small case (half the size of a normal M Network cart)?!?!?!?!?!? Is this rare? Is it a homemade case? Did Mattel Electronics actually make them like this one? If so, I've NEVER seen one like it before today! Wiki has listed for Lock N Chase: Arcade Atari 2600IntellivisionApple IIGame BoyWiiPlayStation 33DS Virtual Console its not "Telegames" version (standard Atari shaped cart with silver foil label), its not Intellivision edition (actual rectangle shaped), can't find an Apple II version on the net, and its not Game Boy or newer..........

mojotv67 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 That it weird! Looks like the cart was cut in half or something. Worth asking the seller if he can maybe take additional pictures or give more detail about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybingo Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 It looks like a homemade modification to me. Possibly, the plastic "framework" inside the cart broke. I had that happen to me with an M-network cart years ago. The PCB just floated around loosely inside, which wouldn't work in my console. I had to crack the cart open and just use the PCB loose. M-network PCB's are short, when compared to other 2600 games. This would explain how you could modify the cart to that size and still have it function properly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth asking the seller if he can maybe take additional pictures or give more detail about it. I had the same thought before reading your post! Already sent a message to the seller thru eBay. We'll see what comes back. A fellow FB-er said this..... They only made a small amount of those. They are dwarf carts(dc's). Little people purchased them because they were easier for them to insert into the console. True or not???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
