Anyone seen a ColecoVision cart like this before?

Recommended Posts

Not only does it have a weird generic looking label which could be explained by someone just messing around and sticking it on there but the shape of the cartridge is what baffles me. I don't remember seeing a cartridge with this shape. Also, it does have printing on the end of the wraparound label as well.

 

Then again, I don't know very much about Coleco.

 

Anyone? :?

That looks like a Canadian cartridge case to me. I have a Tarzan like that with a regular label.

Do you think someone just made that label? Or, perhaps it came out late in Coleco's life and they were really cutting some corners?

If someone made that, it was done a long long time ago, the aging of the paper tells me that.

Nah, I have the exact same cart. My label is identical. I think late in the CV's life, those shells and labels were used for reduced clearance stuff.

I have a smurf's cartridge like that. I also believe it is a Canadian cart, like CPUWIZ said (I think it has a French/English label)

I don`t really know where these came from but they are common as hell around here, I rarely find a colecovision that does not have at least one of those white label carts bundled with it.

I've got one of these types of carts, and if you think the label's generic, you should have seen the packaging it came in; A blank blister card with a hole at the top for hanging on a peghook- that white cart label served as the sole display/information for the package. I ran across mine at a flea market stall run by a former ADAM dealer/specialist.
