Rom Hunter Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) This is a message to all Atari 2600 PAL cart collectors out there: Atarimania is looking for good quality box (back and front) and cart (front) scans for the Taiwan section of its Atari 2600 game database: http://www.atarimania.com/accueil_2600-MENU-2.html If you own any of the game titles mentioned below and are in the position to make a good scan of it, please do. This way we can enrich the Taiwan section of the Atari 2600 game database with nice pictures and preserve a very interesting piece of Atari 2600 video game history for the future. Please don't waste your time by informing us how hard it is to find a certain PAL game. We already know that. We're not asking you to find a certain game. We're only asking you to scan it if you own it. Thanks in advance! Now let's get this steamroller moving...

Rom Hunter Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 Ok, let's do this step by step. Here's the Taiwan Cooper Black section: http://www.atarimania.com/lst_soft-MENU-2-...UR_ID-2417.html These Taiwan Cooper Black titles are still missing (proper) scans: Air Wolf Beany Bopper Bermuda Boom Bang Cobra 104 Demond Attack E.T Go Home Enduro Frog Man Grand Prix Karate Little Bear Paris Attack Pyramid War Ski Hunt Space Tunnel Super Man Tonkky Kon Tooth Brush Who owns one of these?

dwh Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I know this info can get confusing,with that in mind, could you somehow put on the website which of these games are 'original' and which are just 'pirates/rip-offs'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 (edited) The Taiwan Cooper Black titles are all rip-offs, if that's what you mean. If you're talking about highlighting the original version of a game on the Atarimania site, that's another story. It will be done in the future.

Foxsolo2000 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Rom your best chance to get scans of these games is to go on the German Ebay site for several of the games listed have appeared there over the years. I have seen most of the carts but it never occured to me to actually get the pics of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) Fox, I'm not talking about crappy Ebay pictures here. I'm talking about quality scans. Boom Bang, Enduro, Frog Man, Grand Prix, Paris Attack and Super Man done. Titles left: Air Wolf Beany Bopper Bermuda Cobra 104 Demond Attack E.T Go Home Karate Little Bear Pyramid War Ski Hunt Space Tunnel Tonkky Kon Tooth Brush Edited March 20, 2006 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxsolo2000 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Sometimes Rom you may find that you have little in the way of actual choice in what you get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 When you're talking about obscure Thai or Turkish Atari 2600 cartridges, I agree. But not when it's about standard Taiwanese Cooper Black boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 But not when it's about standard Taiwanese Cooper Black boxes. Come back and say that in a few years when you're still looking for them! Taiwan games aren't all as common as you think, and when you're trying to get them boxed.... well, good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you're actually saying is that you don't own these titles boxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) So what you're actually saying is that you don't own these titles boxed. That's right - sorry! Edit: BTW are you after scans of the double packs like Mr. T/My Way? I can help with some of them.

Foxsolo2000 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Very Nice. I wasn't even aware of a Cross Force like the one you have. Is it the same game as Spectravision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see, we still need them: http://www.atarimania.com/lst_soft.php?MEN...n_sauver=Search Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 What dpi do you want them at? Front and back only, or scans of the carts as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBuff Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 @Romhunter I own these boxed: Air Wolf Cobra 104 scans will follow tonight - also Spirantho will get the Spider-Man box scanned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) @Romhunter I own these boxed: Air Wolf Cobra 104 scans will follow tonight - also Spirantho will get the Spider-Man box scanned Excellent. Thanks, AtariBuff. Spirantho, We need a scan of the box front, a scan of the cart front and a scan of the back of the box. No end label or box side scans are needed. Here's an example: http://www.atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?...VERSION_ID=7424 Scans should be 600 pixels wide. Usually 150dpi are absolutely sufficient, but sometimes (as with tape inlays) you need 200dpi in order to get piccies that are 600 pixels wide.
