Pictured: Two boxes for 8-in-1 games by the nameless company that I call "2600 Compatible". There's the front of one box and the back of the other shown.

2600com2.jpg (33K)

Pictured: Two 8-in-1 carts--one showing it's end label and the other showing it's main label. Notice the three switches on the cart that are used to select which game you want to play. (They're a little hard to see, but one's on the Star Wars Jedi Arena box, one's on the left edge of the Pac-Man box, and the last one's just above the Pac-Man one.)

2600com3.jpg (82K)

Unlike the 8-in-1 boxes, most of the "2600 Compatible" ones have the title on the front and English and French at the bottom. Pictured: The front of the box for Laser Volley.

Some PAL versions of Absolute games were in these cheap soft plastic carts which say "Activision" on the back. Pictured: F-14 Tomcat.

activis1.jpg (45K)

Some of the later releases from Activision just had plain black labels with no picture. Pictured: River Raid II, Rampage, Double Dragon.

activis2.jpg (109K)

Some Activision labels had two different coloring schemes in the little screen shot pictured on the label. In this picture the three on top have fewer colors than the three on the bottom. Pictured: Checkers, Gran Prix, Kaboom!

activis3.jpg (49K)

Activision's Decathlon with the original label, the Canadian label with English and French, and the "white label" version. Note that the label was accidently put on upside down on the white label one. Pictured: Decathlon.

activis4.jpg (49K)

Many Activision carts were re-released in the "blue label" form in the later years of the 2600. The blue labels were made so that the game's name appeared on the end of the cart, but because of poor quality control, some of the labels got put on upside down so that they say "Activision" on the end of the cart. Pictured: Enduro.

activis5.jpg (92K)

Early Activision carts didn't have an Atari trade mark notice at the bottom of the label. Shown here is a Stampede with the TM notice and one without. Also shown is a Spider Fighter with a large "presents" and one with a regular size "presents". Pictured: Stampede, Spider Fighter.

activis6.jpg (185K)

Shown here is the first box style that Activision had. Initial releases of the games had the "A new game..." notice at the bottom. Pictured: the front of the box for Dragster and Stampede.

activis7.jpg (204K)

Later Activision boxes were a little more artistic and didn't necessarily follow a standard format like the earlier ones. Pictured: the front of the box for River Raid II and H.E.R.O.

Atari Corp.'s red label format came with either light red (top row) or dark red (bottom row) backgrounds and either color pictures (left column) or greyscale pictures (right column). Pictured: Ikari Warriors, Midnight Magic, Venture.

atari3.jpg (66K)

When Atari Corp. re-released carts in 1986 there were a few changes to the label format. The Atari logo and CX number were made smaller, objects in the picture were allowed to go outside the picture border, some games had their title split into more than one word (like Codebreaker was called Code Breaker), and in some games the picture was reversed (like Codebreaker). Note also that some errors were made in the "use with..." line (see atari4.jpg). Pictured: Codebreaker, Basketball.

atari4.jpg (67K)

Some errors that were made in the "use with..." line when Atari Corp re-released some carts in 1986. Some had a blank black sticker put over the error, some had a sticker with the correct "use with..." line on it, and some were not corrected. The worst error was probably Pele's Soccer which said "Atari Game Program Instructions" on the "use with..." line. Pictured: Air Sea Battle, Pele's Soccer, Home Run.

atari5.jpg (35K)

A couple Atari Inc. games with the Black style label had logos in both black and white. Pictured: Home Run.

atari12.jpg (72K)

Here are some different indications that a cart is PAL. In Atari games there can be a P at the end of the part number (CX26163P or CX-2662-P), a small sticker on the back of the cart with a "P" on it, a "P" on the end label (see atari9.jpg), or the cart can be in a different case (the one shown here in the lower right is Pac-Man shown in atari9.jpg). Activision had some that said "International Edition" under the title and some had the prefex "P" in the part number (PAX-014 is in this picture). Pictured: 32 in 1, Brain Games, Grand Prix, Ikari Warriors (lower left), Pac-Man (lower right).

atari29.jpg (94K)

Here's an example of a box that came with a CCW style cartridge label. This one didn't scan very well either--there's supposed to be a grid of fine white lines on the yellow part (just like on the Disney one). Pictured: the front of the box for Oscar's Trash Race.

atari30.jpg (25K)

One of the many wierd things that Atari put out in 1986 was this unique label style with an orange background. Pictured: Breakout.

atari31.jpg (19K)

When Coke contracted Atari to make a videogame for it's employees, Atari didn't put much effort into it. All they did is alter the graphics and gameplay of Space Invaders and put the the game into a cartridge with no label and a generic box. Pictured: the front of the box for Coke Wins!.

eprom1.jpg (107K)

In the early 80's some people copied games from thier friends onto EPROMs instead of paying $30 each for their own cart. To play a game, just place the EPROM in the green socket and pull down the lever (this locks the EPROM in place). The EPROM must be oriented correctly with the notch on the right hand side (in the picture the notches are on the top edge of the EPROMS). The switch must be set to either 16K or 32K (Bits) depending on the size of the program stored in the EPROM. Then just plug the whole thing into the cart slot on the 2600. Pictured: a bootleg setup with many EPROMs circa 1982.

proto1.jpg (119K)

Collectors call these "prototypes", but they're really just demonstration or promotional cartridges. These cartridges are all unusually heavy because they have big circuit boards inside with EPROMs instead of ROMs. (An EPROM is a ROM that you can erase and program.) Pictured: Frankenstein's Monster serial number 180 (the orange labeled one), Journey/Escape serial number 880, H.E.R.O., Realsports Soccer 2-15-83 version (which appears to be complete), Championship Soccer, Moon Patrol cart number 214, Cookie Monster Munch, Taz.

proto2.jpg (55K)

Here are some true prototypes. When a programmer wanted to try out his game to see how it was comming along, he'd save his game on EPROMs and them put the EPROMs into a cartridge or circuit board that he could plug into a 2600. Pictured: Star Wars: Death Star Battle WIP.11 (Work In Progress version 11--it appears to be the released version), Squoosh (this one has no sound, no title screen, no enemies, no way of killing yourself, no scoring... Basically all it has is the starting level with your character. The character movements are about half finished and all he can do is move to the left and right or instantaneously levitate for as long as the button is pushed.), Crystal Castles 1-4-84 version (which is the same as the released version except the levels are out of order), Millipede 1-4-84 version (which is the same as the released version except it's a bit faster and multiple spiders come out right from the start).

sears1.jpg (64K)

Just like Atari, Sears made carts with both picture labels and text labels. Typically the picture ones are harder to find. Pictured: Submarine Commander, Maze, Stellar Track, Math Gran Prix.

sears2.jpg (53K)

Sears had three numbering systems for their carts. Shown here is #99806 with a slanted "s" font, #6-99806 with a straight "s" font (the normal font), and #49-75104 with the copyright notice was added. The first style produced is on the left and the last style produced is on the right. Pictured: Pong Sports.

sears3.jpg (110K)

On a few titles, Sears made the picture labels with the game title in two different colors. This picture has Defender and Yar's Revenge with the titles in both orange and red. Pictured: Defender and Yar's Revenge.

sears4.jpg (57K)

Sears had two different "use with..." lines that they used. Shown at the top of this picture are two different versions of bowling; one saying "Use with joystick controllers" and the other saying "Use the joystick controllers". Sears also used two different font sizes for the numbers at the top of the main labels (which indicates the number of game options on the cart). At the bottom of this picture there's a small 8 on the left and a large 8 on the right. Pictured: Bowling and Baseball.
