No it's NTSC (I believe as it does not roll and colors are right on) , it's the basic Atari Pac-Man except no copyright on the game screen. But I thought this picture was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Space men (I guess are the ghosts)zapping pac-man well 3 of them(men)....like I said , I had to get it !

Pioneer4x4 #5 Posted April 30, 2010 Is that the Eiffel Tower on it at the top? It is funny looking. Does the game map match? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shquata #6 Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) Is that the Eiffel Tower on it at the top? It is funny looking. Does the game map match? Yes , I was wondering if anyone would notice it. It's small but it's there , why , I have no idea , but then again , nothing on this label makes sense !! Does that make it "Le Pac-Man" ?

dark-aleph #8 Posted May 1, 2010 I'll save Rom the trouble - here it is. Looks like you have the long-cart version. These Taiwan pirates all seem to have a long and short version. The font, cart style and art-style all match the Taiwan double-game packages which I just got a bunch of recently from Germany. Looks like they were pumping out NTSC pirates as well. I don't collect label variations, just whichever version of a game is cheapest to get, but these pirates are so awesome looking I can understand why some people would have fifty Pac-Man pirates in their basement!

Ranthulfr #9 Posted May 1, 2010 Looks like the ghosts were re-imagined as robots for that cartridge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the info. Now I wish I had the box ! . The short cart must be realy short , since this one is already about 3/8 inch shorter than the standard Atari cart. Looks like the font is different from the picture but you said it matched the double games and obviously I know nothing about this cart. Also when they did the label , this one is off center but it has more of the picture (3 pac-men and they show the whole Eiffel tower...thank God , wouldn't dare insult the French and cut off the tower ) also a seperate end label. But this artwork/picture is great ! I saw it and just thought ...wow , you know how off the translations in manuals is on anything cheap from Taiwan , but this for pac-man is just too funny. Glad I picked it up. Thanks again for all the help info on it. TheOldGuy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rom Hunter #12 Posted May 1, 2010 I saw this , laughed my ass off , paid way too much knowing it was a Taiwan Cart , but the picture was so Corny I had to have it. Put in my Gallery , now I need to know which one of you made this !!!! It's this one: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-pac-man_20282.html Except yours is NTSC and has a longer label. Could you make a scan of it for the database? It's not found that often. Not really a Double-Game Package cart, although it looks very similar. Nice find.

Thanks for the info once again and the kind word Sure no problem on the scan any particular size/resolution ? I guess you just want the front ? and how should I get it to you ?

Rom Hunter #15 Posted May 1, 2010 At least 300DPI would be great. Only cart front and at least 400 pixels width. You can post it at the Scans for Rom topic. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
