    The white label reached Europe, allright:

    But I've never seen a Private Eye color label with a PAL serial number.

    8)

    I meant the colour label version.

     

    Mind you, I've never seen the white label version in my local game shops either.

    I do remember later in UK, Telegames sold the white label version.

    Had it in my first Atari collection:

  2. Private Eye never made it to Europe, as far as I know

    Mine's got a Box with a A (Australia?) in a circle on top of the box, but the cartridge label is like yours shown above.

    My cart doesn't work (tried 3 VCSs), so I couldn't check.

     

    I just flicked through my TeleMatch magazines quickly (1984-1985), there's no mention of Private Eye. The last TeleMatch VCS reviews Pitfall II, Beamrider....

  3. Some Atari games need 2 joysticks for gameplay eg, Spy Hunter, Extra Terrestrials, Radar Lock and others.

     

    Any homebrews out there needing 2 joysticks for gameplay?

    All I could find so far is Marble Craze, needs 2 paddles for playing.

     

    More 2 joystick homebrew games out there?

    No problem. I can send up to 4 patches in a letter envelope for $3. It does not have insurance but I have had amazing luck sending it that way. If you want insurance, it is gonna be a lot, but I can send it that way too.

    Send me a PM when you are ready to order!

    Hey, great. I'm unemployed at the moment, so I gotta be careful (and cheap), but maybe I can afford 2 patches. I can't decide....

    I know a logo is not the same as a mascot, but the Fuji logo is the iconic, defining element of Atari branding.

    If we have to, I go along with this. No other console has such an iconic logo-mascot

  6. FROB-26 Atari cartridge scan

     

    In 1983, The Frob-26 was a development system for making Atari games on the Apple ][. So you could make, what we call nowadays, 'homebrews', way back.

    Did someone or did you know someone who actually made VCS games with this tool?

     

    And, what else was available to purchase for making games on Atari VCS?
