King Atari Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 I'm no expert, far from it, but it might be a foreign cart with a missing label. I doubt it, though. I think it looks like a cart that the programmer would use, personally, but I'm not certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Primus Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 I once found an Activision Tennis game in a Coleco style cart, it was almost as if someone had a Tennis with a damaged cart casing and swapped the board with a Coleco Donkey Kong cart. When you get it, open it up, since there is no label to mess up, there is nothing stopping you. What I found in mine was a normal production board, exactly like those in normal carts. You may discover the same thing. If it is a board with an eprom in it, however, you have something more interesting. At any rate, you have a copy of Omega Race, and the way I collect games, I just enjoy playing them and finding different titles.

kingpong Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 This is the third one of these I've seen, though it would have been nice if it had the label. I have a Blueprint in a white case with a green "Not for sale" sticker on it (as can be seen at http://www.geocities.com/sdshaffer2600/gallery4.html ). Couldn't find anything about it anywhere, and then at Electronicon a number of years ago a similar white case CBS cart turned up (don't know what it was, but Kevin Horton bought it for a non-premium price). That cart was missing the round sticker, but comparing it to mine there was label damage consistent with the placement of the sticker. No clue where these came from. Thought they might have been pack-ins for the Columbia Home Arcade, but they'd be more common if that were the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
