ajkiii Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 I know that pal version carts of obelix had a P on the end label. And I know that the pal and ntsc versions had different front labels as well. But the cart that I have has the pal front label, the end label has the mark above the E in Obelix as on the pal carts but has no P after. Plus it plays great on my US system without any adjustments. Which is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 I have 2 different Lables from Obelix. One Obelix and the other Obélix. But I think my are both PAL. The NTSC is very RARE. Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 I never knew there was a difference in the end labels. So one has the little ` above the e? I have the NTSC version at home, I'll have to check out the end label tonight. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 I look at this moment on both lables. Yes, the end lable of one has the ´ over the e and the other not. Here are both on Atari Age: Obelix Obélix But my both Obelix are PAL, because there is a small P sticker on the back from the Obelix. And I think this stand for PAL. So I have think this with the ´ is PAL only and the other PAL and NTSC avaible, maybe in diffrent countrys. But if the one from ajkiii has the PAL end lable with ´ and no P, then it can be NTSC. I have no idea. Never see this version before. Matthias [ 08-20-2001: Message edited by: MattyXB ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 Were the Asterix and Obelix comics ever published in NTSC countries? I know TAZ was released with different characters as Asterix in Europe. So maybe Obelix was never produced as NTSC cartridge. Somebody who knows it exactly?

Tempest Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 Obelix was definetly released in NTSC, I have one. Asterix was not released in NTSC because it was just a graphics hack of Taz (or should I say Tazz). There is an NTSC prototype though.

Ze_ro Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 My guess is that this might be a Canadian cartridge. I know that some of the Asterix comics were (somewhat) popular around here, so they might have tried to market it to Canada (or perhaps only Quebec). Were these comics ever around in the states? --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 I wondered about that because how many Americans recognize Asterix or Obelix? If they came from Canada that would explain why I've never seen a Obelix box that wasn't a multi-lingual box. Might that mean that there could be an NTSC Asterix as well or was Taz popular enough in Canada to be released in that form? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 My NTSC OBelix has that little ` over the e on the end label. Hmm... The plot thickens. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajkiii Posted August 21, 2001 Author Share Posted August 21, 2001 Do all pal carts of Obelix have the p on the end label or not? Don't think so but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 No, only the one with the ´ . My other cart without ´ has no P on the endlable. But it has a small P sticker on the back of the cart. Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahfish Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 i also have both styles in PAL, plus i had a ntsc copy i found over here, but i traded it away ... the è-version was maybe produced for france and other european countries (and canada). for french people like me, the two name variations also spell differently, so maybe they reproduced the labels again after getiing in trouble with the asterix/obelix editors ... could be .... fish ----------------- "last night atari saved my life" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
