Hi guys,

I'm new here and have a river raid cart which I can't find anywhere. It's black label, white text, barcode in center. Is it rare or common?

Thanks :)

Thanks very much for the reply :) Nice website there, I'll take a look when I get a chance,

Sorry but I don't have a way to scan it, but I might be able to take a decent picture of it, if that's any good?

Also how rare would you say Keystone kapers is, white label black text?

:)

Be sure you do.

You won't find a better VCS cart database in this life.

If it's a real sharp picture, then yes.

Was that River Raid released in a plastic case with a paper insert for a manual?

Suprised I haven't had any interest on the marketplace, put it up for offers, as I don't have a clue what it's worth :)

Not that I have a great love of thread necromancy, but I was led here while searching for info on my OWN black label/white text River Raid II cart, and I was like, hey, who wants two threads that are essentially about the same thing?

The difference is, mine doesn't have the bar code in the center. It does state that it was distributed by Mediagenic. I can't seem to locate the variation over at Atarimania. Anyone have any guesses?

Just the standard NTSC River Raid II from Activision:

Nothing special.
