Atari 2600 - Parker Brothers - Standard Label Variation | Of all the manufacturers, Parker Brothers seems to have been the most consistent
with their cartridges across platforms. Their 5200 cartridges are similar in style
to carts they made for every other system, although they're a bit larger and have
storage space for overlays on the back (the only Parker Brothers game to actually
include overlays, and cheap paper ones at that, was Frogger).
Parker Brothers carts are angled at the end, displaying the game title (in a similar
manner to Activision
carts on the 5200). It's not uncommon to find the end of the label peeled off
from the plastic. Labels for the 5200 were a blue-green color and usually just
have the name of the title in stylized form (there are a few with graphics, like
Popeye
and Q*bert). | | |
