The two bidders must be good collectors to notice that piece and battle so much to get it... Could you please tell us if your copy came with the G3 version manual? We might have a sub variant of a variant here... I love variants!!!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The internal code next to the cartridge is 1120-0910 or 1120-0910-G1 or something else? Does it have the plastic tray or is trayless pocket? Many thanks!?

BigDumer Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Well, add another variant to my list. So, did EVERY Mattel "Network" game released in a gatefold box have a Hong Kong version with a tray? Not counting Canadian versions. Most of my 'research' has been on INTV Funhouse over the years so I didn't have this USCF Chess HK tray version on my list. Based on that source, these ones had reported Hong Kong tray versions, but I haven't seen a photo yet: - Reversi (INTV Funhouse says it's been reported by Steve but is sealed so hasn't been confirmed to have a tray) - Shark! Shark! (INTV Funhouse says it's been reported by Steve but hasn't been confirmed) This the only one on INTV Funhouse that doesn't say anything about a Hong Kong version at all is: - Sharp Shot Would be interesting if Sharp Shot is the only version from the Mattel gatefold network games that doesn't have a plastic tray version at all (again, not counting the Canadian release).

Do you have these variants ? Funhouse is somewhat lacking on the UK releases, which are usually 0810 boxes. Those boxes also show up in Australia with a white sticker on the bottom. Auto Racing and Boxing, for some reason, have 0810 boxes in their normal US releases. This box appears to say 0610. I do have the Baseball and Soccer 0810 boxes. We are getting a bit off topic, however. Perhaps we should take this to a separate thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Very interesting piece @Rev!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/324671491279 Are there any other CBS or Coleco games that came with that box?

CBS games for Intellivision and Atari and also Activision games for different systems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What drove my attention is the graphics : Aussie made a different cover that I’ve never seen before… I would be curious to see the graphics of the other games packaged by them… Any one has some pics to share?

To the best of my knowledge there are just the two, I assume Venture and Mousetrap would be other candidates but I’ve never seen them.
