JaggingUK Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 One of the few games I don't have is Protector SE, however one has turned up on ebay which looks good, but was that game ever released with a colour cartridge like the one in this listing? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PROTECTOR-SE-ATARI-JAGUAR-100-GENUINE-COLOR-SHELL-BOXED-WITH-INSTRUCTIONS/133496236164?hash=item1f14fee884:g:s~IAAOSwdFJfOr7N He also has an Iwar in a clear cartridge but I thought all the early/original Jag releases like Iwar were on the regular colour carts and not on clear https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/I-WAR-ATARI-JAGUAR-100-GENUINE-CLEAR-SHELL-BOXED-WITH-INSTRUCTIONS/133496241546?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D225076%26meid%3D530ea9fa0a6e4c81bca1b5a183f8a56f%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D133496236164%26itm%3D133496241546%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3Ad23ef93c-e135-11ea-a29d-74dbd1800b73|parentrq%3A00ea42191740a6881cbc17e6ffffdfd4|iid%3A1 I know some of the game the lad sells are classed as repros/pirates but with a game like Protector SE still being available from Carl I would hate to buy a copy that is not legit - just wondered what Carl/others think of the games due to the colour of the shells. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_rg Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 If possible try and buy from the original source, that way you are supporting them. Anyone can buy a new cart pull it to bits and rehouse it in a different case. It doesn't make them rarer or more sought after. It's just an original that's been tampered with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaggingUK Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 With customs fees added from USA it becomes a gamble getting games from America, I bought some recently and they all got here with no fees added and other times I have been less lucky - but yes I would rather buy direct, but was also just curious if this is original as its in a colour of cart that he sells as cartridge cover/slot protectors... And Iwar I never remember as being in a clear cart as all those early Jag games like Iwar where in the normal colour carts which the clear shell is also one he sell as a slot cover too... I did mainly just wonder if carl had ever done Protector SE in an orange cart many moons ago or if what is on ebay is just a pirate copy of it. I did think it might be due to the fact that the seller also has cartridges in that orange colour for sale, but I really don't know and would hate to buy one that is not original.

Isgoed Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Seeing the pictures of the cartridgelabel I'd say it's not original. The orange/white shell look weird too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaggingUK Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 It's the modified looking cart that made me wonder especially with the Iwar being clear... Thanks im-reg Good to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
