Arcade on the box ?

[Jim Pez]

Did Atari ever make any arcade port games with an arcade on the box.

The closest I can think of is a pinball machine on Video Pinball.

Coleco did it with their port of Donkey Kong.... but I honestly don't remember Atari ever doing it(previous mention of Video Pinball aside). They just whipped up some mad wicked custom art for the packaging.

I think Coleco did with all of their arcade ports... at least for the Colecovision.

i just discovered that Carnival and zaxxon for the 2600 both had arcades on the box.

And for the "Atari 2600 VCS." All of these pictures are from right here on AtariAge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seeing the cabinets was exciting back then, but now it seems like a missed opportunity to have some cool art.

 

I see that many of Sega's games used the words "official arcade version"

 

 

 

 

My goodness, the art for Spy Hunter ("Official Arcade Game") was wretched. Looks like Up&Down used a similar style. I preferred the paintings from the prior wave.

But Atari didn't produce those carts.
