Atari_Bill Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Hi all, I doubt this is anything significant, but I recently picked up a Joust cart and manual because the manual was different than any other I’ve seen. I searched everywhere and I can’t find a 7800 Joust manual that looks like this one. All the others I’ve seen have the filled area above the Joust title in B&W. This one is in color. I have not compared the content to a normal one yet. It is copyright 1986. Would this be an early release version perhaps? Anyone come across these before?

+Mitch Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Yes, most of the 1986 release have some color on them (mostly red). In 1987 they switched to black and white. Later games they went to full color. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sixersfan105 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Neat! Haven't seen Joust in red. Guessing it's a little harder to find than the B&W version. Assuming you picked this up last week on eBay? Just found the sold listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
