Saw a Harbor Attack today, weird label (maybe?)

Recommended Posts

OK, I'll admit before anyone notices ... I know next to NOTHING about collecting or identifying carts for the 2600. I do, however, usually take notice when a cart looks different than the others around it. Usually it is a fairly common odd cart, today it was Harbor Escape at a local used game trader.

 

I looked long enough to get the name of the game, then came home and pulled up the cart's scan in the 2600 List here at AtariAge.

 

As I remembered my few moments looking at the game at the store, it was NOT a colored, or even shaded, label. It had similar comic artwork, but I recall it being more like black line art on an aging plain label rather than colored like a comic book. I think I noticed it because it looked hand-drawn rather than printed like the scan here.

 

I edited AtariAge's scanned cart quickly to give an idea of what I'm talking about and attached it.

 

Also, the particular illustration may have been different (or not), I don't remember.

 

Basically, I'm curious if I need to drive back across town to the store. Could the color from whatever printing process was used on the label in the scan have simply faded, leaving behind a line-art style image? Could someone have just drawn a cheesy label to stick over a missing one?

 

Or, more importantly, does such a cart ring a bell with anyone?

Yeah, my guess is the label probably faded.

 

This is an uncommon Panda title. Send it to me! I'm collecting Panda carts! :D ;)

 

Seriously, if you can get it for cheap, than it sounds like a gret deal as this game is hard to find. I'm not sure though, about the label's quality in relation to it's perceived value.

 

I'd go back and buy it if it were me. :cool:
