Chuck D. Head Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Over the last few gaming expos, I have picked up both the "Pole Positn" and "Raiders Lost Ark" misspelled end labels. Were there any other US release 2600 games that had spelling or similar errors? Or front labels for that matter.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) 1986 Atari corp reissues had some problems, I have Air-Sea Battle and Golf, both say "Use with Paddle Controllers" on the main label- too bad they are both joystick games. Edit: I'm looking for "Raiders Lost Ark" for my collection Edited June 1, 2011 by toiletunes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I'm looking for "Raiders Lost Ark" for my collection Thanks TT, I will add those to my want list and I will keep an eye out for the Raiders error for you also! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpddytim Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 This is one of the reasons Atari collecting is so fun. There are so many niches you can choose to focus on that it would be nearly impossible to ever "finish" a collection. You can stop at just collecting one companies games, or you can keep hunting for more obscure variants and versions. Pretty fun stuff IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammingcowz Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 That's strange, since they were all probably done with the same printer that some have errors. Never seen one before 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophretard Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 They made them at different times with different fonts and colors. It isn't typos on non typo end labels. They are different end labels all together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Here's one I'm sure everyone has: POS Maze Game misspelled as Pac-Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epyx_Fail Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I was playing Midnight Magic tonight. Noticed that in the actual game it's spelled Midnite Magic, while the label bears Midnight Magic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight probably couldn't fit on the left side of the pinball machine and making them match by putting Midnite Magic on the label makes too much sense for Atari Corp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
