Rom Hunter

Nice find. These are Fantastic Game carts: http://www.atarimania.com/pgelstsoft.awp?system=2&type=G&publisher=68&step=200 Pirates indeed, but this label type is rarer than the 'bird - witch' label. Here's the box artwork: These are PAL only and mostly found in Europe. Can you show me the end labels of the other two carts?

Thanks, Matt. Do you have the ROM of this 11/??/81 Defender proto? Would like to add it to the collection.

...

I honestly don't know anything about this story. If you have more info about this, let me know.

To my knowledge, Crazy Climber was first started by Alex Leavens and (when he left) was then finished by Joe Gaucher. If that is what you mean.

Nice find and in great condition too! Which logo is on screen?

Great find! I'm pretty sure new artwork for all of the black labels were made. Here are two others (notice the black labels underneath):

Excellent video and again well researched. My compliments. Really enjoy watching these.

There was a 5 dollar discount coupon for the video game included in the second record.

Looks genuine to me.

Many thanks, JayAre! I'll add it asap.

Never seen that sticker before, but the font on it is the same as the one on the Promotional Use Only console boxes. JayAre, could you make a better quality scan/picture of that box? Would be a nice addition to our Phoenix page. Also, do you still have the link to that listing?

The old one was dumped AFAIK.

Yep, only the PRINTED IN HONG KONG version: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-super-football_14071.html

AtariAge, AtariMania and AtariBoxed to name but a few.

Excellent information. Many thanks! Really appreciate it

Many thanks for sharing. I wil add the VCS ones to our database.

No, prototypes without ~ are prototypes of released games. Prototypes with ~ are the latest known to exist prototype of a non released game.

Very simple: the ones with a ~ behind their name are the true originals (and yes, in some cases that's a PAL version). In my collection, there's also the PAL only map, the NTSC only map, the sorted by alphabet maps, sorted by company map, the Harmony Cart ROM maps, etc. And if you really want to be creative, you can sort the Paddle games, by searching for 'Paddle' in the map, you can sort Prototypes by searching for 'Prototype', you can sort on serial numbers, programmer, release year, company, format, WIP name, whatever. In short: if you're looking for the best 1977-1992 era VCS ROM collection, you need not look further: http://www.atarimania.com/rom_collection_archive_atari_2600_roms.html Enjoy.

Here's Engesoft: http://www.atarimania.com/pgelstsoft.awp?system=2&type=G&publisher=89&step=25 Here's Conector: http://www.atarimania.com/pgelstsoft.awp?system=2&type=G&publisher=103&step=25 AFAIK the Angelica game was never realized.

Thanks for clearing this up. I'll check all SEGA PAL and NTSC end labels and fix this.

There's no differences in gameplay and the differences in boxes you already explained. The non-illustrated version came first. Here are two other versions, btw: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-donkey-kong_8097.html

I'm trying to update our Holy Grail list. Of which of these carts are more than 3 copies known to exist: http://www.atarimania.com/pgelstsoft.awp?system=2&type=G&cartridgerarity=10&step=200 Anyone?
