perryrhodan Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 Tonight I discovered that my Snoopy and the Red Baron cart is in fact...Haunted House... The problem is that the label have no hole where the screw is...and the cart is impossible to put apart..I tried to pull it apart without forcing it..but nothing to do..the screw is holding the to halve tighly.!!! It' is possible that I have an error in packaging? It's not another label glued by some child..it's the real label. It's in good condition less the fact that it have some actiplaque. I wonder whether the rom serial code correspond to Snoopy or Haunted House...but I don't want to put it apart...Is it worth something? Do I have to ship to someone who is know of it's integrity to authentified my find? Thanks Yan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videotwit Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 I'm sure that is is real. In its later years, Atari started getting sloppy. While it is uncommon to find an entirely mislabeled cart, it is not unheard of altogether. It is more common, however, to find late release Atari games with labels that are upside down or even pasted over other labels (the most I've ever seen is 4 labels stacked on top of each other). These are all the way they came from the factory - a product of poor quality control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooterb23 Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 That could also explain my Atari Video Cube cart in a Dodge 'Em box I got at KB for 99 cents, the ironic thing is that I was furious about this because I wanted Dodge 'Em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Yep, this is an old post, but The US games post got me thinking. How many of the rest of you have run into this before? I have a Lock N' Chase game that actually contains Air Raiders. Anyone else? Buck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattG/Snyper2099 Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 A good friend of mine discovered a copy of dodge'em in a warlords casing this past year. It seems to be commonplace to find such atari errors. Sadly enough, a lot of them were probably sent back to atari, relabeled and sold as new.

MattyXB Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I own a Atari 2600 Centipede with ColecoVision Lable. But this seems common here in germany. I have see it often on eBay.de. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 This seems a common problem but I have a copy of Solaris I got oh about '94 or '95 (in a Dollar store) that rolls on my TV> I'm guessing Atari put PAL Solaris in NTSC boxes.

Albert Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 I have seen carts with labels applied upside down and I think I have at least one that has two labels, but I've never come across a completely mislabeled cart. Seems odd that this would happen if you assume cart manufacturing (including label application) was completely automated, but stranger things have happened. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperCCJVQ Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 It happend to me too in the past. I was testing some cart i found at the flea market and i came across River Raid by Activision but it was Sky Jinks inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perryrhodan Posted January 2, 2004 Author Share Posted January 2, 2004 Like Scooterb23, I was a little bit frustrated since I was hoping to play at Snoopy and the Red Baron...but alas, that was Haunted House....anyway I'm ok today, since I've got into psychotherapy to help me pass thrue this frustration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloatedmonkey Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 I have an Enduro that plays Ghostbusters. Lable looks untampered. Freaky stuff, man.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
