I was going through my local thrift store (AGAIN!), and picked up about 15 Atari titles...all are pretty common except for Armor Ambush. I picked up Tennis, which I know to be fairly common. However, in looking at the cartridge scan on this site, I noticed a BIG difference. Mine is biligual. Instead of saying just TENNIS on the end, it says TENNIS LE TENNIS. The front of the cartridge also says TENNIS LE TENNIS, it has the same picture, but the instructions on the front are for GAME 1 in english on the left hand side, and GAME 1 in french on the left hand side. Now, I live in Canada where it's law that everything sold has to have both english and french, ON THE PACKAGING! There is no law that states french has to be on game cartridge labels. Besides, no other Atari game that I have found originally sold in Canada with french on the label. Did I pick up a rare find? YES it's NTSC, YES it's in Activision green. NO it's not Zellers. Any help would be appreciated.

Okay, so I'm stupid.. It's a Colecovision cart. Next time I will look a little more closely before I tell my wife she can buy it. BTW, if anyone is looking for any Odyssey2 carts, I found about 5 at the same thrift store...

I have a Frogger game that matches the look of the label scan on this site. The question I had is this: WHY WON'T IT FIT??? Most Atari carts are square at the connection point, this one has slanted sides. It is the same width, length, depth, etc. of an Atari cart, but because of that slant, it won't fit in the unit. I have compared it to other console systems, and it doesn't fit either. Any ideas? Could this be a PAL version that mysteriously ended up in my local thrift store? A normal card: ___________ | | |__________| Frogger cart: _____________ / |____________| Any ideas? Is this rare? Or am I just stupid and haven't found the right console for it yet?
