Metal Jesus Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I got this cartridge recently at the Cowlitz Retro Gaming Expo, but I'm having a hard time identifying it... Is it the Taiwan Cooper River Raid? Also, when I play it, the game seems slightly off from an original... like it's displaying differently than an Activision original on the TV for some reason...

atari181 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 It a PAL V-cart. It was sold mainly in Europe and Australia. As for a manufacturer it is Taiwan Cooper. Fairly common variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Jesus Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Fairly common variant. Surprised there is no cartridge scan here on AtariAge... Maybe I can provide one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is almost an endless amount of variants and would be a ton of work. You can find info on PAL games on Atariboxed.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find info on PAL games on Atariboxed.com Did Activision license the publishing of the game out to another company? Or is it a bootleg?

I hope this can be fixed, as I have several details on brazilian versions I can send. Enviado de meu Moto G (5) usando Tapatalk Atariage has a database of almost exclusive NTSC USA releases. Just as I stated above when referring to PAL games. The enormous amount of variations and bootlegs out there is a huge task and would be a ton of work. There really is no reason to go through all that work when we already have that info on other sites. When talking about import variations we have 2 sites you can use for reference. http://www.atarimania.com http://atariboxed.com If you don't find scans of your carts on either site, they may want them.

The entry for variations already exists on atariage. If they dont want my data bacause it is a variation (Polyvox was official Atari licensee for Brazil) that is ok, but what I am saying is that there is an error in the submit info form.

Enviado de meu Moto G (5) usando Tapatalk I would assume it hasn't been fixed because AA pretty much has all the scans it needs for NTSC games. As I said, they pretty much stick to NTSC from USA, not Atari licensed import games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, knowing a bit about web developers, this can be true Enviado de meu Moto G (5) usando Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of the missing scans on this list? http://www.atarimania.com/list_games_atari-2600-vcs-p_total-page-step-publisher_54-1-200-26_2_G.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
