Rom Hunter

Many thanks for taking the pictures, Marco. Will add them right away.

Wonderful. Many thanks for sharing, Marco. Gotta love these amazing brands and boxes. That Shagora box shares some similarities with this one:

What grail could that be? Behind the note is this one: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-battle-zone_16123.html Love that Ark, BTW. Manna and tablets inside, right?

Nice! Would love to have scans/pictures of that manual.

That would be a bummer indeed. And what about the person who got one of these carts and didn't know about the contest? Was there an inlay included? We probably will never know.

Must be. I think they came after the Suntek ones.

Many thanks, Marco. BTW: is this one like your Dragon Defender box? http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-dragon-defender_13308.html

Now here's an Activision contest that still puzzles me: I have no idea if this one was ever rewarded or if one of these Treasure Hunt carts were ever found or still exist (most probably not).

Awesome sight, Marco. If you have time to make some pictures of the box front and back of Asteroid Belt, Bi! Bi!, Panda (Quest), Ski Run and Tom Boy, I would be very grateful. They've been missing from our database for many years now: http://www.atarimania.com/pgelstsoft.awp?system=2&type=G&publisher=70&step=200 BTW: which game is in the blank box?

Here's an expensive Activision promo item.

Thanks for sharing this, CVGA. Here are the all known to exist numbers (and the two updates): http://www.atarimania.com/atari-magazine-activisions_28.html Is it possible to scan your first Special Edition one? It's sadly still missing in our database.

Then it most probably is identical to this one. Polaris (1983) (Tigervision, Robert H. O'Neil) (7-007) (Prototype).bin

Could very well be that this one does not contain the Taito logo onscreen.

Here's the released game: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-maze-craze-a-game-of-cops--n-robbers_7779.html Your cart is a pre release cart like one of these: http://www.ataricompendium.com/game_library/prototypes/vcs/maze_craze.html And most probably contains the final release of the game (dumping the ROM can show the differences, if any). Nice find.

No idea. I've never seen it before.

Same goes for this StarMaster shirt:

Many thanks for sharing this. Truly amazing to see.

Thanks for the screenshots. Colors like indeed different from the NTSC version.

Kim, that Fire Burg box is interesting. Could you make a scan / picture of the box front and back for our database? As you can see, it's still missing here: http://www.atarimania.com/list_games_atari-2600-vcs-taiwan-v-case-disney_publisher_105_2_G.html

That's what I call a first post in style. Welcome to the forums. PAL versions of River Patrol do exist, but are extremely rare. AFAIK this is the third one that has ever surfaced, apart from a PAL prototype. But to know for sure, your cart should be dumped to see if the ROM is truly PAL. Do you have any screenshots of the game in play?

Thanks for sharing this, JayAre!

A Taiwanese company. Back of the box shows Homerun, though: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-baseball_7222.html But that doesn't mean anything.

Double post.

Great collection. Captain Combat, could you make nice pictures of the front and back of your Chuck Norris box? It's the only one still missing in our database: http://www.atarimania.com/list_games_atari-2600-vcs-xonox-k-tel-software-single-ender_label_177_2_G.html
