bradhig Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cookie-Monster-Munch-Atari-2600-/310403420331?hash=item48457c50ab:m:mjBno767w2j9Bdlab_IrkyA Are all the children's label cartridges labels as bad as this one? I remember playing cookie monster munch in St. Louis Children's Hospital when I was there for my pectus repair in 1986. I am planning to get it but was hoping to find a label in better condition.

RJ Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 This is called ActiPlaque, named for the Activision cartridge labels' subpar adhesive. I have the 4 CTW games, & mine from best to worst looking are: Alpha-Beam (decent pic label but end label is poor) Cookie Monster Munch Big Bird's Egg Catch & Oscar's Trash Race (tie, really bad, maybe worse than the link's pic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambouis de l'Atari Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 https://cambouisdelatari.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/ata-cookie.jpg Mine is in a very good condition, I'm sure you can find a nicer one ! These are not activision ones, so they show less actiplaque symptoms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are not activision ones, so they show less actiplaque symptoms just an FYI, NONE of them were made by activision, they do however have the same label problems as activision carts.

Cambouis de l'Atari Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Maybe, but at a much lesser level ! For activision, il also suspect a bad quality paper used too (and no gloss). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) JFTR no one said the CTW games were made by Activision...I said such a condition is CALLED Actiplaque (-ing), so named because it's commonly seen on Activision carts, I'd say more often that not. & my last 2 listed (Oscar & Big Bird) are much worse than any Activision I have or have seen.

bradhig Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 I have seen something similar on Commodore 64 disk labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
