Hi I'm new here, I'll be blunt about my intentions here, I'm here to get some idea of what old games are worth so i can sell them for more money. Besides that I enjoy the old games myself and would like to build my own collection.
I have an activision River Raid cart 1982 AX-020 that has a different label than the ones you have on this site, I'd like to add the attached scan to the site, but I'm not seeing a clear way to do so.
I've got hi-rez versions of both scans, however this site does not seem to like large files.
Also where are the rules and guidelines for posts on this site?


Where do I report a cartridge with diff label?
in Atari 2600

Thank you all for your replies, particularly Atari Rescue Group and deathtrappomegranate I will use those links to further educate myself. I've made mistake here that could only be made by a newbie to this site and I apologize to you all for wasting your time with this.
Here's where I got confused, When I arrived at this site I had a stack of games only a few of which I was familiar with from my distant childhood by way of playing them on other peoples systems. I don't yet have a system of my own, so I looked up the description on half a dozen or so carts. When I got to River Raid by way of the search list I saw there were several variations of labels, I looked at all of them and saw that mine looked closest to http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html...wareLabelID=409 I didn't realize that the front page for a game displays a random image thet can be either the box, the manual, the cart, or a screenshot. The box scan for River Raid looks much like the cart except for the picture at the center. I didn't know about the random images at the time I started this topic and I mistook the box image for the cart. Using a random image in an otherwise static page is uncommon on the web today, except for the nearly omnipresent advertising, I'm familiar with the technique myself, but I didn't realize that was what was going on until after i made a fll of myself with this topic.
therealred5, $1-3 you say for this fine game? Anything between $1.50 and $3 would be great, allowing me to easily double or tripple my initial investment. After I've tested it I intend to sell it for whatever the market will bear along with a decription of the game and the condition of the cart.
Thankyou again everyone.
