Almost Rice Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) I saw that earlier this week. I was not sure. I am guessing it is either a reproduction onto cart or Atari made it for sale only outside the US. I dont know the reason why they would do that. I am putting money that its a repro. Here are the reasons why. There are no copyright date listed for Atari, no RX#### model number and no country where the label is printed. That is looking at the XE carts that I have in my collection.

Clint Thompson Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 It's a repro cart. I was bidding on it and then retracted my bid for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanD Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 It is just ndary doing a cartridge that he doesn't let you know is a conversion/repro/homebrew or whatever you want to call it. He's been asked to be more clear but his auctions have never really changed. Be especially careful for when there are 2-3 originals and one of his custom carts in the middle. See previous thread for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Tail of Beta Lyra was the first Atari 8-bit game I purchased after buying my Atari 800XL and 1050 drive many years ago. It was just random, I was looking for a game to buy and spotted it in (I think) Kay Bee Toys, hanging from a peg in fairly cheap packaging. I was really impressed with the game, the graphics, the music, and so forth. Would be great to have this game in cart form, and I'm quite sure the auction is for a reproduction cart. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Like Albert, this was one of my first Atari games, and I rather enjoyed it, BUT... From time to time, the screen would flash and then go white, and your ship would become almost impossible to see. Was there some way to avoid this that I never discovered? The game became completely unfun when this would happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
