Update! It seems like sand-e-2000 was right. This must be a pirate/home made cartridge, as the manufacturer is unknown. How it got to New Zealand I have no idea . Anyone else own one of these? I have a pic here, courtesy of Atari2600.nl:

Thanks for your replys everyone I will get a pic of its cartridge and board as soon as I can.

 

PS: Thought of maybe just attaching the coin door to the start button on the controller

 

Oh, also, does anyone know what this might be worth? It's a Mattel Aquarius and it's in mint with box (still surrounded by polystyrene), there is also a Mini Expander and a LOGO cartridge. It works great, has BASIC built-in. Had a bit of fun makin small programs Heres the pic of the Aquarius (sorry about the really bad quality):

Maybe the 2600 Jr. had an updated graphics chip? no idea but I can't compare them as I don't own the original 2600, although I do have 3 2600 Jr's

Hey there everyone and Happy New Year! I am posting this message about a cartridge I found with my Atari 7800 console. It looks like the standard casing. It has a picture of the front of some astronaught walking through multicolour smoke. On the top where the switch is, there is a sticker with "A) Pitfall" and then one line down "B) Grand Prix". It is a 2-in-1 cartridge with a switch on the top which lets you choose between Pitfall or Grand Prix, which are both Activision games, I think. The games play well, no bugs, ect. and are exactly the same as the originals. I can't figure out wether it's an unreleased game, a prototype or maybe just a home-built unit. Also, I wanted to know if it is possible to wire up, for example, a coin door/mech to my Atari 7800 console so that I can put it in an arcade cabinet. I thought maybe I could wire it to one of the pins on the cartridge input so that when a coin was inserted, the game would start, and maybe when your lives are up, the game stops? Hope you can help me out. Thank you very much for your time.
