tpugmire Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I purchased a large lot (300+) of 2600 and 7800 games, and in the lot I came across a copy of Off Your Rocker. Mine matches up very well with the images in the atariage database, except mine has an end label. It almost looks homemade, but the main label is handwritten anyway. Did this game ever have an end label? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Nice. Could you show us some sharp pictures of the cart with end label? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I have this vague notion my copy of Off Your Rocker has an end label, but if I remember to check tonight, I'll look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari181 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Very nice. Looks legit. Are you looking to sell it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpugmire Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Not at the moment, just looking for information at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Front label looks genuine, but I'm not sure that end label is original. Looks like it was glued on later. Anyway: very nice find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeusExMachina Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Front label looks genuine, but I'm not sure that end label is original. I have seen quite a few of these over the years...some with the same front label and others without a label. I haven't seen one with an end label.

tpugmire Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 That was my first thought too. It would make more sense if the end label was handwritten to match the other label. Plus, after researching some of the other carts that I wasn't familiar with, I found a Color Bar Generator Cart with the same type of end label taped on. I'm thinking I should try and remove the end label. Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Checked, no end label on my copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san-d-2000 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Mine also doent have an endlabel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojay1997 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Front label looks genuine, but I'm not sure that end label is original. Looks like it was glued on later. Anyway: very nice find! When you say the front label looks genuine, do you mean that Amiga actually applied that label? The reason I ask is that I have that same cart but it came from the notorious Pleasant Valley Video many years ago and I assumed they applied that label as I have non-Amiga 2600 games that have a similar label that came from PVV. I've never seen that end label though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen that end label though. No, I meant genuine PVV ofcourse. Amiga had nothing to do with these labels. BTW: which of your other PVV VCS games do you have similar labels (besides Wizard titles)? Edited October 1, 2013 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I got mine the same way. I bought a random $20 atari lot off ebay and the unlabeled cart was an off your rocker. I traded a bunch of stuff for it and no longer have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steverd Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Funny, would you believe me, if I said I have one EXACLY like this also!! I thought it was wierd, but kepted it in my collection. I actually thought it was a cart that they label fell off and someone did a homemade label for it! Stevrd Here are a couple pictures, hope this helps.

Steverd Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Wait, here's a photo of mine. From my old Atari 2600 page. I forgot I DID say I thought it was a prototype back then. Totally FORGET!!! But I'm old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
