Doc4 Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 Tyrannosaurus for the 2600? What the hell is this game. I found a copy of it the other day and can't seem to find any records of this game even mentioned. Can someone help out here?

StanJr Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 To quote a Cow: "What?!...err...Moo" Tyro for the VCS????? You got a scan of this? Shocked Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted February 24, 2002 Author Share Posted February 24, 2002 Not yet but I should soon. Check this out though. It has a blue square on the front of the cart, right in the middle, with a picture of the beast (T-Rex) facing left and it simply says Tyrannosaurus in the top right. HUH? Someone needs to do some explaining. I haven't played it yet, my system is on the fritz. Where the heck do these wonderful toys come from?

StanJr Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 What's the cart type? Is there any indication of a publisher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 Are there any other words on it at all? Where did you get it? Are you sure its a Atari 2600 game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 Never hear before. Are you sure that this is for the Atari 2600 as other says. For example: I have buy for month a game calls Frantic Freddy (never hear before too). The picture look the same as the pirated game Keystone Kapers (aka. Wachroboter jagt Jupy). So I have think this is an Atari 2600 game too. I have only wonder why the board is longer then normale. And it has not fit in the Atari 2600. After a search to the web I have found out that this is maybe a Coleco Vision game. But I have no idea how rare it is and will it work? I have no Coleco Vision.

Doc4 Posted February 24, 2002 Author Share Posted February 24, 2002 So what other systems besides Cleco have the same size carts as Atari? Unfortunatly my Atari isn't functioning right now. I'm working on it. I will scan the cart as soon as I can. Thanks for checking everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 Its not an intelliviosn or coleco.. ruled them out. Im not much on computer carts.. It might be a commadore 64 cart, they look kinda like atari carts. Or it could be a TI cart, I THINK they look like atari carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 Well, 7800 carts are the same size and as you said, ColecoVision carts are very close (in fact, I've won/bought/traded CV carts and gotten 2600 carts, and vice versa!). There really aren't any other systems I can think of that have similar style carts: 5200 - Much larger Commodore 64 - Smaller Atari 8-bit - Smaller still Odyssey 2 - Close, probably closest after CV Vic-20 - Carts are much wider TI 99/4a - Carts are wider and not as deep Intellivision - Much smaller That's it for the more common classic systems. Could always be a cartridge for something else, though, there certainly are enough cartridge-based systems that have come out over the years. I bet it's just a pirate 2600 cart. I look forward to seeing a scan or picture. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted February 25, 2002 Author Share Posted February 25, 2002 More information: the number on the front is cx-2613 maybe that will help. I can't figure this one out. Although it is the exact same dimensions as a 2600 cart. Weird huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 This is the number from the Atari 2600 game Adventure. So maybe someone has overlable it with a FAKE Lable??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 Maybe it is a pirate of some sort. The person played the game prior to giving it a new name. Rhindle shows up in the game and the guy thinks...What is that a dinosaur? I'll name this Tyranosaurus...Of course if this WERE how it happened...The name of the game would probably be "Duck!!" also it seems weird that a pirate cart would have the Atari cx-# on it.

StanJr Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 Does it look like this? Or even this? Just with Tyro where the "adventure" should be? Or are you just pulling our collective brontosaurus on this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc4 Posted February 27, 2002 Author Share Posted February 27, 2002 OK, now I honestly think this is a copy of adventure and someone just stuck a stupid sticker on it. What a pile of crap. Sorry to get everyone worked up over this. I though maybe I was onto something here. I will post further detail, but I believe this is a hoax. And since I found the stupid thing that's what I'm going by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc4 Posted February 28, 2002 Author Share Posted February 28, 2002 Very funny. I just read that string of comments on good ol Mike R. I hope he sees it and writes in to defend himself. As for this entire string of nonsence about the T-REX game for the Atari 2600. My Atari is fixed and it is indeed a copy of Adventure. Some foolish carpenter stuck a dumb sticker on it. So everyone should note. THIS IS NOT REAL, IT IS A COPY OF ADVENTURE. FALSE ALARM FALSE ALARM! SORRY EVERYONE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
