Does anybody know of activision games being misslabeled?

I have this spiderfighter cart that ive had since i was a kid, that has pitfall inside it instead of spider fighter. Ive never seen or heard of anything like this have any of you?

I'm sure it happens. Any place where one person sticks one component in and another sticks a label on is bound to run into these kind of problems, Happens a lot with videotapes - I had a lady bring a keep-fit video back (when I worked in a video store) complaining that although it was labelled as xxxxxx's workout tape, it was actually Star Wars. And she was complaining??????

...And then there was the customer who went to the video shop for some commercial movie back in my old hometown (population 6500) and instead got a film of the store's owner -- a lanky biker named Spider -- boning the behaysoos out of the high-schooler counter girl in the back of the shop. Actually happened. But I digress.

I've never seen a mislabeled Activision game, other than Harriet's Quest (the ROM inside was stamped with a number which was Pitfall) but that was not done by Activision itself. I am however sure they exist. Atari was more noteable for their mislabeling (not by title but by label content, like misspelling Pole Position or saying "for use with joystick" when it's a paddle game).
