Green label Asteroids

[BSA Starfire]

Back in the eighties a neighbour gave me some loose 2600 games one of which was a green label Asteroids, the game on the cart i later found out was Meteor defence ITT family games. I no longer have the green cart but while browsing ebay spotted a circus with the same label which is what made me remember this. It doesn't seem to be on the atarimania database. Anyone know anything about this cart?

I have included the pic of the circus from ebay.

So how about the Asteroids then Rom, is that an unknown? I chucked it out years ago as it was stood on and the shell smashed

I'm bidding on the Circus, if I get it I'll do you a scan.

Would be great.

 

To be honest: I've never seen an Asteroids with a green label like that.

 

I have to see a picture first before I add it to the database.

Well the neighbours who gave the carts probably in 1986-1987 were oil platform workers, and worked away a lot, he told me that they were all games they had on the rigs and came from all over, i know he worked in the north sea, scotland, kuwait and other locations so the origin of the game is hard to say. It was definetly an all Green label, i remeber the text being Black however, the cart i think was similar to the Telegames type shell. As I said the autual game was meteor defence.

Doesn't ring a bell.

 

Too bad you don't have it anymore, BSA.

 

Thanks for the info.

Well I won that Circus, so will do the scan when it arrives.

 

Best,

Have added the scan to the scans for rom thread, just mention in case that thread gets buried.
