Donkey Kong American Techna-Vision?

[Scooter83]

I came across this on Ebay and could have sworn I saw a post about it on here. But encase it wasnt posted on here before I would share this link with you guys. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FATARI-Donkey-Kong-ALT-LABEL-400-800-800XL-1200XL-130XE-XL-XE-XEGS-8bit-8-bit-%2F291069301213%3F

 

Its a regular release board and chips of the game ( from the pictures) but the label stood out and Ive never heard of American Techna-Vision. Maybe its a Mexican or Brazilan company? Like Polyvox was to the Atari 2600? Would love to hear more about this and the history behind it.

American company, just a developer cartridge properly labeled by a developer/preview cart for retail.

Did they do any other titles outside of Donkey Kong?

ATV was a retailer like B&C or Best. I'm guessing they got a bunch of parts and assembled the carts themselves, and slapped on their homebrew label.

Hello guys

 

American Techna-Vision advertised in lots of American computer (Atari?) magazines. They had lots of part for lots of Atari(peripherals)'s. I guess I must have drooled over each and every one of their ads.

 

Sincerely
