A question about American videogame?

Recommended Posts

i have a question kinda along the same lines. i have noticed that some atari made carts and the letter P on the end label does this mean that it was for PAL. i have some that play on my NTSC system and have this but being that it was on the end label i am sure that if atari had a bunch laying around they would not worry and use them just the same.

 

any ideas or anyone really know about the end label letters?

 

also what is with the numbers on some of the end labels?

 

wow that was alot of questions there in the one little block.

The P stands for PAL. Sometimes they put a sticker on the back of the cart, sometimes it was part of the end label (Blackjack P for instance), and sometimes it was stamped into the end or main label.

 

The numbers you see on the end label are manufacturing dates. For instance 264 would mean the 26th week on 1984. The format is MMY
