Gregory DG Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I've seen those quite a bit. They usually don't go for a whole lot, even though they are rated a 10. Dunno why that is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Do you have any Pal carts to compare it too on your tv? I thought all the Atari Corps were PAL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought all the Atari Corps were PAL. 934089[/snapback] I don't have PAL version carts. A PAL version cart wouldn't work on my system/tv as it is NTSC. Besides I have other Atari Corps that are not PAL. Edited September 19, 2005 by Ken Meoni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 If you don't have any how do you know? Alot of people seem to think that some newer tvs play PAL carts just fine, although mine do not. If you at least had a pal cart to compare it too, acart that is known to be in pal format, then you would know one way or the other. If the other pal cart no roll, maybe your tv is playing a pal Obelix just the same. I say Atari corp, as in this is a re-released label, 1986, if there were two releases, original Atari Inc & later Atari Corp, both for NTSC this would be much more common title you'd think? Most of the 86 carts on ebay are PAL. Even without the p end label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show some class, if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 What? I'm not steamed about anything. This is one of the few Atari carts I still need, but I need it too be a true NTSC cart. Atari corps are not as pretty as original silver labels though, but if it is NTSC I'm very interested. But right now I'm not convinced it is NTSC. just IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 They go so cheap because there are always so many of them for sale. one went for around $50 today on E-bay. label was pretty rough though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOK-dfa Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 They usually don't go for a whole lot, even though they are rated a 10. Dunno why that is... Because Obelix isn't a rarity 10. The rarity list here at AA really needs some revision, but for some reason it never happens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will give a full refund plus shipping money back both ways if it is a PAL version game. As far as I know this is an NTSC, but just in case, I wanted to make sure if it isin't, that whoever won it, would get their money back. Thanks for the info. you have posted.

SimonTemplar Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 (edited) I too was wondering what the hell happened to Obelix ? Side Deal ? Edited September 19, 2005 by SimonTemplar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Meoni Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 Hi Everybody, Sorry, but I ended the auction. After help from alot of people on this site, I just can't be sure this is NTSC. Thanks to everyone who posted here with info and to those who PM'd me. I may relist in the future as not knowing what version the game is. I am in the middle of the desert, so I don't get much help out here. Thanks Again, Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Meoni Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 Ok, it's PAL. A friend of mine in Australia wrote me this. "the game will play on any tv, the game doesnt set the video format. but it wont have the right colours if you play it on the wrong region console.. i have no idea what causes this, but i have attached a photo of my tv running my pal pitfall on my ntsc 2600. looking at the photo, you can clearly see the tree's are not supposed to be pink.. some games may be hard to tell what region if you dont know what the colours are supposed to be however." I just checked the game and when things are supposed to be blue, they are green. So, I will be relisting this auction as a PAL cart for a 5 day auction starting tonight. Thanks for your interest.
