So what are the games on this Austrailian cartridge? and are they just 2600 games or are they better 7800 games?

They're 2600 games. All of the copies I have found are identical to the 2600 32 in 1 except for a different label. The instruction manual for the 7800 32 in 1 however lists a few different games. I'm still looking for one that matches the instruction manual.

Atari Computers Pty Ltd (Atari Australia) used suspecious tactics in the early 90's, such as Including 128 Games in a Jr. Consoles (Some not given permission from other companies for) and this 7800 32 In 1 Cart. I own this cart, and you can see the green label right under it. However, it is very rare, A Rarity 7 on the AA Scale.

Well hows this for funny and dodgy atari scams,,,
I have Asteroids boxed with instructions for the 7800, The cart is however none other then the PAL 81 2600 version.
And i doubt 7800 asteroids was released here due to the game already being on the pal 7800.

That's wild! So does it have the standard 2600 or standard 7800 box, docs, and label?
Or a mixture of both?

As I said, Tramiel Atari Australia (Atari Computers Pty Ltd) used many scams t get people to buy their consoles, espiacally with the 7800.

It's a standard? 2600 Asteroids box, I didn't even noticed til i opened it that it contained the common blue Txt Pic cart and the 7800 instruction set,
Im looking at it now, The front page reads Atari 7800tm game Manual, below in a huge font has asteroids written in the same style as the grey 7800 cart,,, Ok ive looked at the manual on this site and it is identical~!
I dont know if this has just been changed by the previous owner? But since asteroids 7800 wasnt released here i doubt it seriously.
More funny finds today,
Red label Joust with silver label and sticker, 2600
Real sports soccer labelled football??
I might get an old tv that cant do NTSC just to see what carts i own that are pal or ntsc for both 2600 & 7800
Blah blah blah,, Im really looking forward to a comprehensive pal atari listing,,

Ah, so it had a 7800 instructions with a 2600 cart and box. Either someone switched it or Atari was getting cheap.
The 7800 Asteroids instruction manual was included with the PAL 7800s, that's probably where it came from.

I know due to becoming increesingly bankrupt, atari tried to save money by packaging games in what they had. There are quiet a few 7800 Titles that are packaged in 2600 boxes because of this. But I've never heard the other way around.
However, i know there are some games (Kung Fu Master, for example) that had a box that was 2600 with a 7800 compatability mentioned on the label.
