Klax and Sentinel

[streps]

Is there any difference:

 

1. in the Klax games sold by ResQsoft and Video 61

 

2. and Sentinel games sold by ResQsoft, Best Electronics, and Video 61

 

Or are they just copies of one another with slightly different labels. I know ResQsoft no longer sells/produces these games.

They should be identical other than the label.

Do any of these come with a box of any kind?

[atomickneedrop]

The resqsoft one did. I'll try to take a pic.

Cool. Thanks. Did you take a spill and land on top of that Sentinel?

[atomickneedrop]

Pressed during a move, of all the boxes to get dented. It still has shrinkwrap on it, too.

Video61 Klax box is nothing special,

 

Just a generic white box with the game label centered, and Video61 sticker beneath. Attached is a photo.

The game I received did not have instructions.

 

The best Sentinel did not come with a box or instructions.

Hi

The Best "Sentinel" got its label from the european PAL version.And there were 2 different Resqsoft boxes for Klax;one small and a big plastic box.And there were 3 different boxes for Sentinel.One small and a big plastic box and an Atari box,similar to the PAL version,but with an NTSC sticker on it.Tne Video61 version of Klax came without a manual.

Don't forget that ResQSoft's version of Klax came with a special programmer interview.

I'd not actually seen the Video61 version of Klax before. Mine is from the first ResQ run with signature

What platform was Sentinel made on first?

 

Was it an arcade game and then a port to the 2600/7800? Did it ever get an 8bit release?

I think the 2600 and 7800 ports were developed simultaneously but the 2600 version was released a few months earlier. I've never heard of an arcade version and I don't think that work was ever started on the XE release though I believe it was planned.

I was lucky to get my 7800 klax signed by the original programmer at CGE. Not a bad version.
