+atari2600land Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I was looking through my Intellivision manuals and spotted a couple of interesting things. The cover of the Pac-Man manual by Atarisoft has a picture of the Pac-Man screen in the upper right hand corner...of the 2600 version. The English cover of Tron Maze-A-Tron has copyright notices in French (So does the French side.) I found these interesting and wanted to share. Let me know if you spot something interesting in an Intellvision game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Atarisoft got lazy I guess. Never noticed the Tron thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 One thing I noticed, or rather I recall someone else pointed out, is that only one game from the 125 original releases used actual real photograph of humans on it. Anyone know which one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not unique to Intellivision. Take a look at the Pac-Man for Apple II and TI-99/4A, by way of example - they all have the same graphic. 7 hours ago, atari2600land said: The English cover of Tron Maze-A-Tron has copyright notices in French (So does the French side.) Sounds like you've got the French-Canadian version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intymike Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Slam Dunk, Chip Shot Golf, Tropical Trouble, Safecracker and Dracula is the ONLY one with humans on it. And maybe someone in the knights armor of Swords & Serpents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear that you got the parcel in good shape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
