+-^CrossBow^- Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Just more classic quality control that existed back then. I believe this is a known thing similar to how 5200 versions of Space Shuttle are in 2600 boxes. I think there are even 2600 versions of Tomcat that have the 7800 version labels on them?

high voltage Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Was there a version with a corrected label? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Most 7800 versions of Tomcat have the correct 7800 label. A few of them have the 2600 label. Same thing with the PAL version. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 From the AtariAge Tomcat game listing - Description Submit Description Designed by Dan Kitchen, many of the 2600 versions of this title are actually for the 7800. You can tell the difference by looking at the circuit board (the wider version is for the 7800). Both versions will play in the 7800, but the mislabeled version will not work on the 2600 like it indicates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommodoreCEO Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Ahh! So perhaps my long search a couple of years ago for this game was exacerbated by a misleading label? Haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
