Eisregen91 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 So, I'm new here and wanted to ask, if anybody here have seen or heared anything about a Atari 2600 cartridge labeled "Gramd Priks". Yes, I really mean "Gramd Priks", nit "Grand Prix". I am really thankful for every little bit of information about this cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eisregen91 Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 As far as I know, this game was found in a game shop in the Netherlands and on it is a game with cowboys and bulls or somethin like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 That sounds like Stampede. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisregen91 Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 Hey Thomas, thank you for your fast answer, but that isn't the one. It has a completly different cover and dosen't have anything to do with cars or racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisregen91 Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 It could be Stampede. But why it is called Gramd Prix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I told my mom I wanted this game. She said I should not pronounce it like that by saying "You sound like a dirty old man!" I was only 7 or 8 oh well.. But I was right there was a grand pricks after all.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofrills100 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) It's a bootleg from Asia. I have a few Gramd Priks' in my collection, I'm pretty sure I have a Grand Prik too The reason it is spelt like that is because the bootleg companies were notoriously bad spellers! And since their English wasn't too great, they were often oblivious to which picture art should go with which game. Simple as that. Do you have a pic? - I'm curious to see what yours looks like.

carlsson Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Couldn't it be so that someone has opened a shell, replaced the PCB inside and put it back together? That means if you had a loose Stampede or bootleg, you reused the shell of a Grand Prix bootleg and didn't bother that the label and artwork no longer match.

Not really, random label art with Taiwan clones is very common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I would pay 49 cents for it. 1. Should quit my job 2. Start smoking drugs and make atari games for people. No not games.. just labels that have zero relevance of what the game actually is. Oh wow rare!! I like the real games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
