    Hope you can manage to remove that ugly sticker on it; if you so chose. Be careful ;-)

     

    The 'ugly sticker' (indeed ugly) is probably part of the game, compare here, so I guess I will not remove it.

     

    Which indeed leads me to the sad question:

     

    Yes, it is THE game, but is it 'Home Vision'?

     

    Rom, you list the black cartridges of War 2000 under 'home vision'.

    Still, both of them, have or had a sticker on them, saying:

    'Meteor defends, Kat. No. 55433391, Doppelpack'.

     

    This will probably relate to ITTs double pack of Meteor defence/Aliens Return you are listing here and here.

     

    From what I can read on the reminder of the sticker of No. 3, it says:

    'Alien's return, Kat. No. 55433391, Doppelpack'.

    So, I think its possible, both games may be early releases of ITTs double pack Meteor defence/Aliens Return, while ITT did not yet have own labels/cartridges.

     

    The same may be true for my black copy of World End, which clearly shows remainders of a sticker ...

     

    If so, the "true" Home Vision No. 3 is still out there (so Rom, please do not yet rest in peace ;) ).

    Don't stop believin'

     

    Got some hot news for all Home Vision fans!

     

    Here's the complete Home Vision range sold in Italy:

    Including the rumored Magic Carpet and IQ 180 (VCS 83128)!

     

    Notice how this artwork:

    http://www.atarimania.com/game-iq-memory-teaser_s11157.html

    was inspired by the original IQ 180 artwork.

     

    This older list mentions Whales, which could be Sea to Whales later released as Frisco:

    No World End, Go Go Home Monster, Ski Hunt, World End and X'Mission, though.

     

    Now, if someone can translate the Italian description of Magic Carpet for me, then I can hopefully identify the game.

    How cool is this! My next holidays definitely should go to Italy :cool:

    You can say that again.

     

    AFAIK even Marco doesn't have this one yet.

     

    It's the only undiscovered Home Vision game that IMO must have been released back then and not be vaporware.

     

    I think only very few were actually sold back then.

     

    Perhaps because of the non-attractive game concept?

     

    Even now it's still one of the lesser played VCS games.

     

    Although the artwork is IMO one of the coolest looking from Home Vision.

    Indeed!

     

    But don't forget Number 9 (I love the graphics, but still need a nice, mint, white version :lust: ) and this beauty :love:
