Did Demon Attack have different boxes?

Ok so I have been slowly going through my piles of games/boxes I need to organize. I had a lady sell me an Atari lot last year and then a few months later call me to pick-up empty boxes she found. So she gave me this demon attack box and the non picture game came in the lot she sold me. I have a picture version that I like better.

 

Were there different boxes or can I just plop whatever in there. I might go w/the text version either way just because the label is really nice on it.

Yes, there are 2 different boxes, one of them is black. Can't tell you what is inside, mine is factory sealed.

For educational purposes, these are the 3 titles from Imagic in black boxes.

I am pretty sure the black boxes have the blue label Activision carts inside. The silver boxes have at least 2 variants. The bottom right corner on the back says what revision it is. I am not sure what cart, text or pic, goes with what box.

Oh, you mean Activision style.

The bottom right corner on the back says what revision it is. I am not sure what cart, text or pic, goes with what box.

 

Hmmm that may be the key. This box I have has no revision listed. The picture cart I have however does have revision B on it. So I would be inclined to believe a box w/no revision is the text cart and a box w/revision would be a picture cart.

 

 

Looking further. The text cart says model IA 3200 as does the box, where as the picture cart does not. So I am fairly confident this box takes a text cart.

Activision?

Yes,they are in Activision "style" shells

Pretty sure Activision was the one who owned the rights to those games at that time and even though they say Imagic, Activision is who sold them.
