Ever seen these carts ?

[Cybertom]

Hi guys,

 

i got some games today and found this one in it .

 

I was wondering if it works on the 2600 because it first looked like a colecovision cart for me - also the label says colecovision .

 

Any intentions on the rarity ?

That is a ColecoVision cart, it won't work on an Atari 2600. It's a fairly easy game to find for the ColecoVision.

It's a ColecoVision cart. I need the end label scan for that...my copy has no end label.

Hi Albert,

 

that's what i thought first - but the reason why i posted this is the game works perfectly on my 2600 !

 

I couldn't believe it by myself but it runs great !

Looks like you've got a label misprint. They slapped a Colecovision label on it by mistake (the end label is correct though). They probably ran out of labels or something.

 

Neat!

I am an idiot, of course. The Atarisoft ColecoVision titles are angled along the top sides down to the bottom of the cart in order to fit in the ColecoVision, plus the end label is different. I shouldn't have been so quick to respond.

Any idea how much it is worth ?

 

I never come across one since i started collecting.

Probably not too much since the Colecovision run is so common. It'd be easy to buy a Colecovision one, then heat gun the label off and put it on an Atari cart.

 

Still a cool find, though.

You can find these in Holland and Germany, I think I've seen 2 or 3 different titles. They're not ultra rare or anything, but it's still quite a nice find. Most collectors probably won't go crazy about this valuewise, as they'll probably view it as yet another PAL aberration.

 

Cheers,

Looks kinda piratical, like somebody was making Centipede carts and decided to use a version of the cooler CV label instead of the 2600 one . . . And of course, there'd only be 2 or 3 titles, since Atarisoft only released 3 CV games, right? (Centipede, Dig Dug, Defender).

 

The actual label would be larger, and I'm pretty sure 2600/CV carts weren't assembled at the same plant . . .
