| The 2600, by far, has the market cornered when it comes to label variations.
Not only were a great deal of games released for the 2600, but due to the 2600's
long lifespan, many games were sold for several years and were produced with
several different labels. Most label collectors only seek out the major
label variations for any given cartridge, while some go after every minor
variation, of which there are quite a few. This list only contains major variations
by each company, along with pictures so you can get a feel for what the differences
are.
Atari
produced more label variations than any other company, which isn't terribly
surprising given that they produced more games for the 2600 than any other company.
Quite a few carts produced by Atari are available on at least two major label
variations, one being a Text
label and the other being a Picture
label. Other common label variations include the Blue
label carts produced by Activision
in their later years, the White
label INTV
versions of M
Network carts, and the Sears
Text/Picture
variations (similar to Atari). |
