ChevyNo1 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I have a question about the unique Frogger cart I've seen here . . . I have a sealed Frogger game from Canada, and from what I've seen, the Canadian versions are the ones that have the standard cart look? Can anyone confirm? Obviously I'm not about to open the box to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggger2 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) Red Label Atari Corporation Mario Bros. cartridge made in Australia. Note it is in an Activision type case with a wraparound one piece label. I have seen at least four Australian Mario Bros. cartridges offered in Germany and at least four offered in Australia, but I only recall seeing one cartridge offered with instructions and one cartridge offered with the box and instructions, both of which I bought. Although it is likely the cartridge and box were made in Australia for Atari by Home Entertainment Suppliers (HES), the fact that the Australian Mario Bros. cartridges were sold in Atari Corporation boxes with Atari Corporation Instructions should establish that they are a legitimate Atari Corporation product. The July 1991 and Aug 1992 printing dates on the instruction books are 2 of the latest Atari 2600 printing dates I have seen. The made in Australia Mario Bros. cartridge must have been one of the last Atari 2600 items produced.

ChevyNo1 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yes, that's the cart I've seen in this post that is referred to as rare, I guess because it's shaped like a typical 2600 cart, and not the other way . . . I don't want to open mine to find out what I have, but I understand that it was the ones that came out of Canada that were like this . . .

Omegamatrix Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Do you mean this one. Yours is PAL. Try finding the NTSC ones. To answer your question ChevyNo1 the box you have has a standard Frogger in it. The rare Square carts came in an regular US version box with English (not the English French boxes). I know because I have got one boxed like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwackery Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 It's not unique (I think this thread has veered away from its original topic, but in many delightful ways), but here is the Atari Age club poster: http://www.atariage.com/magazines/magazine...;CurrentPage=14 I finally got around to putting it in a frame, although I'm still trying to decide on how I want to mat it. I really wanted one of these as a kid and was happy to finally acquire one. (Sorry about the camera flash.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buyatari Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Well if are going to veer a little bit Not sure if its meant to be for the arcade or the console but think its the arcade. Major havoc concept art. Once again I think its for the arcade. This wasn't a planned 2600 title was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) Most people have already seen my Atari store displays, but for those of you new people who have not, here they are again, plus I am still waiting for a Yars Revenge display in the mail. The E.T. floor display is about 3 feet tall. The Ghost Busters display is a plastic 2 sided display card, which means there should be others like it out there. The Parker Bros, Atlantis display is inside a glass picture frame with a Atlantis contest from. Edited July 11, 2007 by ATARIPITBULL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I seem to be of the same mind that it's not just the video games when it comes to Atari 2600. I almost forgot about the 3 Atari costumes that I have CIB. 1) Asteroids. 2) Missile Command. 3) Centipede.

+Nathan Strum Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) 1) Asteroids. 2) Missile Command. 3) Frogger. The third one says "Centipede" on the box. I remember the Asteroids one... it always looked kind of creepy. Like an old low-budget Star Trek alien.
