Error Label? It's Upside-Down!

Recommended Posts

First off, forgive my crappy picture - my camera is shit. Anyway, I found this game this weekend at a goodwill type store and thought it was odd because the top label is upside down. I have other Text Label's in my collection and they are not like this. What is with this one? Could it be an error or maybe these are common and I just don't know it. Take a look at the pic and let me know what you think. :)

That's pretty common, I have found dozens of different titles with the labels upside down, still kind of cool though. :)

BUT, Atari didn't mean to do this, right?

No, they are manufacturing errors AFAIK. I've also found double labels before, not only from Atari but also Coleco and Tigervision etc. !

IMHO I think they should all be like that so you can read the front label and it is right side up when in the system.

 

Maybe this one and all the ones like it are correct and Atari screwed up EVERY other label. :)

By double labels do you mean a label over-top another label because I found one of those too. The end label was missing when I found it but there is clearly a label underneath the top label because it was peeling slightly in one corner. It is interesting because I know for a fact that the label underneath the showing label is different but the label showing is the game inside because I tried it out. Does anything I am saying even make sense.....I feel like I am talking in a big circle.

Those two blues in the back have got to be the homliest girls that I've ever seen :P

 

I am waiting for the purple people to appear because those red guys and those blue girls had to have "got it on" and we all know....

Maybe the purple people were in charge of figuring out if Rubik's Cube or Video Cube should come first. http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=37407 :)

I have an upside down Fireworld I found in a $1 bin somewhere. Useless variation but I kept it anyway. Theoretically any one with a hair dryer could make one of these "errors" too. :lolblue:

I once had a Xonox double-ender with a double label. The first label had been put on backwards so the games had the wrong labels. Another label was put over that the right way.
