lazzeri Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hi, I´ve seen both overlay models around, for 4-switch and 6-switch Ataris. My question is, does the game originally came with BOTH overlays? Or do you originally had to pick the one that fitted your system? Or even, does that changed over time, like early games had 6-switch model and later ones had 4-switch? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojoatomic Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) They came like this... attached to the center piece card. At least, they did this at one time. Might have also done it other ways as well in addition to this. Edited January 19, 2017 by mojoatomic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rik Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I found this game boxed at a gaming store, but with the console overlays missing. I hope to find both 4&6 switch, but i'd be happy with one or the other. You mostly find stuff like this by surprise, when NOT looking! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The MilkMan Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) I made homebrew versions of the overlays some time back...I think I made both 4 and 6 switch...and I think even a Atari Jr version. If I find 'em, shoot me a PM and see about getting a PDF to you. Love this game. One of my all time favs..

littlefriend420 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 A bit dated here, but I just got this game in a lot and I'd appreciate those overlay PDF's as well, please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arenafoot Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 This was the last title I was able to buy back in the day from Kay-Bee Toys for $4.99. But my copy did not include any type of overlay, this must be why the game is so hard as I think I tried it once back then, and never played it again. Just look at the size of the manual......... its huge! I'd like a copy of the 2600 jr PDF overlay! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I'd love to see PDF's of these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeekDragon Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Again, I had no idea there was an overlay for this game, let along one that fits the entire console. I need one now, since I have the cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrSidneyZweibel Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Mine came with both. It was useless to me because I had a Coleco Gemini. I flew that shit on manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyK Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) This is a splendid community. Those homebrew and Jr overlays are excellent. I'm a 4 and 6 switch woody owner myself and have the original - so I don't need that - but I'm really pleased to see that someone made the effort.

The MilkMan Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) To all those wanting PDF overlays, please shoot me a PM request, and which version you want. As I will need an email address to send the files. Note: I'm having trouble locating my old 6 switch artwork file. I may have make another one soon If I can't locate the original. I will edit this post when the 6 switch overlay is found/ready. Edited October 4, 2017 by The MilkMan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylatham82 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hey, I'm looking for PDF overlays for the 6 switch Atari 2600. I did PM The MilkMan but haven't had a response.

MeatWithGravy Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I apologize for resurrecting an ancient thread, but didn't see this elsewhere. The MilkMan hasn't been active since last August. Can anyone point me in the direction of a PDF overlay for a 6-switch, please? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
