I have a double ender repro with split label artwork. Different, and economical.

Getting the real thing costs a fairly pretty penny.

 

Halloween is the more entertaining of the two.

I think that also tends to be the group concensus as well.

I have them in a repro double ender as well. Halloween is actually a very good original game, it's really something I've never seen before in an Atari game.

 

Texas Chainsaw Massacre, on the other hand, is a mess. This is coming from a guy who is hardcore into horror flicks (the reason I bought these), the game borders being unplayable. If I were you I'd buy an original Halloween cart and pass on TCM, if you're thinking of making a purchase. The idea behind TCM is fine, but dodging the objects is a real pain. If done right, it'd have been a decent game, but you actually dodge the object (from a real perspective), but in the game you hit it. Imagine Journey Escape except you go side to side and it's not nearly as good. I can't explain it right, but either way, it's not worth the price of admission.

halloween is actually REALLY fun....TCM is horribly boring and the sounds in the game are ear-pierceingly annoying.....a double-ender is an atari cart that has cartridge connections on both sides....basically two games on one cart.....just flip it over for one game and flip it back for the other

Repro=Reproduction. For those of us who do not have the funds to acquire the original of a rare game, there are some generous folks who will reproduce a cartridge for you, as long as it is public domain (you see this with Vectrex often, in the form of multi-carts, or the VecFlash carts).

I don't remember someone making these as double enders. Who did them, when were they for sale, were there just a few made, and how about a picture?
