ColecoFan1981 #1 Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Does anyone here know the full listing of the AtariSoft box colors assigned to each platform a game was made available for? As far as I know, it would follow the ROY-G-BIV convention (that is, the seven colors of the rainbow in order that are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet). Color of boxes by platform: Red goes to Apple II series Orange goes to ColecoVision/Adam Yellow goes to Texas Instruments TI-99/4A Green goes to Commodore 64 Blue goes to IBM PC Indigo (which in this case looks more purplish) goes to Commodore VIC-20 Violet goes to Intellivision Outside of the USA, AtariSoft also made titles for the BBC Micro and Sinclair ZX Spectrum, as well as their own 400/800 range. I know the 400/800 series titles have silver boxes, but that the BBC Micro releases have bluish-green boxes, and what color did AtariSoft assign to releases for the ZX Spectrum? ~Ben Edited May 23, 2011 by ColecoFan1981 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The color order of boxes, in CMYK-speak: Red goes to Apple II and compatibles Orange goes to ColecoVision and Adam Yellow goes to Texas Instruments TI-99/4A Green goes to Commodore 64 Cyan goes to Sinclair ZX Spectrum Indigo goes to IBM PC and compatibles Violet goes to Commodore VIC-20 Magenta goes to Mattel Intellivision I and II and Sears Super Video Arcade ~Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: Ah I see these were mentioned in a previous post. Tempest 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
