I f I had the capital to risk, I could definitely make exact duplicate replacement cartridge labels for the 2600. They would be printed by the same process on a real printing press. The main problem is duplicating the artwork legally, plus the cost of printing plates would be around $200 per copy. The cutting die and inks are not a problem. I have about 3,000 colors at my disposal.
I'm not talking about printing off a few labels, but thousands. Imagine being able to completely renew your Activision carts.
Ah well.

Just jumping on a conversation with an obvious Activision fan...
I see both ways, on what you are thinking-I love having nice, newish looking carts(Speaking Activision, particularly), but I also appreciate the vintage look of the Actiplaque, in a way.
I'm collecting the loose carts, and the CIB's(got loose Rampage and Double Dragon today...43/44...need Beamrider...good luck to me...).
I guess I tend to keep the nicer looking one in the CIB, and the more plaqued version "on display" loose.
Anyway-new Activision adventure, happening actively-
I suppose I was the catalyst for bringing this together, tho I jumped on someone here's existing idea(we are working together!), and another Friend here did the graphic design(lol, my "idea", but the sketch was caveman style...). So is a group effort.
First public display!
Being produced now, not looking for sales or anything, just "showing off", ha-not sure what the "sales arrangement" will be with me and Mass, the other producer, but I'm easy to work with, don't much care about $ or anything.
There is another actively coming, but this one is more "my baby", so I am comfortable disclosing it, I'll leave the other to him, seems fair!
Why Checkers?
Man, that's a LOOONG story, and you just saw how bad my "regular" stories can be...
