Very Odd "Atlantis II" ? Cartridge

[mganci350]

I received a lot of sealed games from an auction today. Included in the lot was one odd loose cartridge.

I knew the loose cartridge was included but figured it was someone's attempt to be funny.

The cartridge label seemed like someone may have printed it considering it was "Atlantis II" and the quality didn't seem up to par.

Then I plugged it in. The score font seems that of Atlantis II and the score increments by 1 per destroyed ship.

Please see my attached pictures.

One is a pic of the cartridge and one is a screen shot of game play.

Is this the real thing? Maybe someone created a custom label?

What does everyone think?

 

Thanks

That's a reproduction cartridge, probably made by someone here like Shawn.

Reproduction, Shawn may have made that eons ago.

Thanks for the info Save2600 and Cpuwiz.

I knew I couldn't be that lucky!

I made that a good 10 years ago. Label was Avery sticker paper laminated with 3 inch clear tape. It's a reproduction. Uses an old activision PCB, an EPROM and an inverter. It's worth $20 to $30 bucks on the resale market. Might get a little more (or less on a bad day?) on open ebay auction.
