Jason_Atari Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Picked up a Junior bundle off ebay with a PAL missile command cart dated 1991. I have never come across any cart dated 1991 in all my years of collecting for the system. I'm assuming this is probably the last game produced by atari for the 2600. Anyone have any info on this cart and rarity? Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) It's part of the re-releases by Ataricorp. There were many Ataricorp re-releases and some new games released at that time. The red boxes are from that time period as well. Edited July 23, 2014 by atari181 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari181 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Not dated 1991 though I thought they closed down manufacturing of 2600 in early 91' ? You should probably send Marty a PM, he would have the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I have never once seen an Atari corp game with 1991 on it . Great find ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Make sure you check with the guys who've started up the new PAL/Euro site (atariboxed.com). If they don't know about this already, I'm sure they'd be interested in finding out about it. Edited July 24, 2014 by freeweed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_Atari Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 After doing a search by year 1991 on both atarimania and atariboxed this is the only cart that comes up, although there is very little information about it, not even rarity. Im assuming it isnt that common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 But it's still Missle Command. Great game (one of my top 10) but short of a solid gold competition cart, I just don't see rarity attached to these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm assuming this is the version without the initials then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82-T/A Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Wow... 1991... I can't even imagine. I wonder how many years after the "Atari 2600 for Under $50 bucks?" commercial... Heheh.... Edited July 24, 2014 by 82-T/A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
