Weird looking Centipede cart on ebay

Anyone an idea what the hell this is?

terrible pic and can barely make the label out on my phone. Looks home made or is a pirate and the cartridge shape is funky too.

Are those boxing gloves?!

it's a weird repro...not worth anything.

Strange shape of the cart ...

That's what caught my eye. I have a soft spot for strange-/stupid-looking cart designs...

It's a pirate, but a cool one :-)

It's from a company called Hing Seng or something. (Couldn't find it on atarimania so my recollection of the exact name is probably not right) - strangely these carts also carry the official atari name on them 'Atari Hing Seng' - so it is unclear as to wether it is an asian branch of Atari or just a blatant rip off (the latter IMO, but you never know). They pop up in Asia and Australia from time to time.

I'd say $15

I was close - Hin Seng

Your brain must have water damage!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, just chucked it in the bin

It was Aussie crap anyway

Thanks for the info. I'll bid on it, but not too much. If I happen to win it, RomHunter can get label scans

Not a repro, a pirate.

 

This is a pirate style most often seen in AUS in my experience.

they look a bit like the metal gloves that butchers use when butchering pork meat

I have the cart in my hands now. The gloves are supposed to be driving gloves, I guess. You know, like the ones you see men wearing in 50's movies.

I have this, and Tennis. I always thought the gloves looked like the chainmail gloves Knights would have worn!
