youki Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 In Europe ( Germany, Italy and France for sure ) Colecovision was sold with MOUSE TRAP cart, so to oblige us to buy DK separately. Max In France, it was sold with Donkey Kong for sure , not mouse trap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was December 1983. this just for information. But at that time were a lot of non official importers so everything was possible. max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wberdan! Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 glad to see people finally respecting the dk box rarity! that's a tough box, i would say in the lower/middle range of the top ten rare cv boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65Gamerguy Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 There is a US boxed version of Donkey Kong. I purchased one several years ago and still have it. I can only assume that it was made for people that puchased a stand alone ADAM computer, which didn't come with Donkey Kong on cartridge, but instead the Buck Rogers supergame on digital data pack.

Tempest Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I like how it's 'Based' on the real arcade game. Is that like 'based on a true story'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapahute Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I like how it's 'Based' on the real arcade game. Is that like 'based on a true story'? Usually, I noticed that the CBS boxes had “Based on the real arcade game” for Atari 2600 & Intellivision versions, and “Just like the real arcade game” on the Colecovision version. I’ve put “Based on…” on this box as it appeared like that on the brochure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartsfam Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I know this is old, but just to clarify. This: is common, and not worth much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I know this is old, but just to clarify. This: is common, and not worth much? Correct. Relatively easy to pick up from most European eBay sites - however often they are overpriced so patience is needed to get one at the right level.

Ikrananka Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Ohhh! Because I saw this: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 280787070363 That is the French only version, note that the cart and instructions are solely in French. There is also a general European variant that has the cart and instructions in multiple (five) languages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
