These are all of my 2600 carts, all have been bought in Australia (PAL). I dont know if you need more scans of these games but as I see it more cant hurt even if some of my carts are a bit tattered. I also have a box for the enduro cart, it is kinda like a plastic yellow vhs style case for an atari cart. I'll post pics if you want.

Looking at the cart scans of RS Boxing from here and Atarimania I haven't noticed any with "Made in Taiwan" only printed

Space Raid seems to have another lable underneath

Your Space Raid most probably has a Hot Shot label underneath.

Better leave it like that.

Excellent scans, Remember.

Thanks for sharing!


BTW: here's your version of RealSports Boxing:

Yeah, I noticed it after posting above. It was the way the site goes cart, box, manual and then extra carts.

These are all the known to exist SECAM titles for the VCS:

Please note that the CBS Electronics ones are actually not SECAM.

I left them in because of the SECAM mentioning on the label.

Did not notice this one on the list, Also not sure about the actual format as
it says "PAL or SECAM TV SYSTEMS" ?

That's 100% a PAL cart.

I owned this stickered one myself back in the eighties.

Has something changed I noticed since this response all the pictures
I have posted have now disappeared.

Can anyone else see the "jawbreaker" box in my post ? or have they
only disappeared for me ?

Hay Rom I have recently started selling my PAL 2600 collection on CtCW and
noticed while cross referencing them with the listing on Atarimania I have noticed
a few have different lables and some have boxes that are not shown. Anyway I
thought I would let you know I have included pictures there that you are welcome
to use (if not good enough let me know and I can email you some better scans)

Here is my CtCW home page and the ATARI PAL listing link will bring up what I
have listed so far

You would do me a big favour by posting bigger scans of the following:

16 in 1 Game Cartridge (box and cart front and back)
Galaxy Invader (box front and back)
Mafia (box front and back)
Bermuda (box front and back)

It's not really over so much as it's obsolete... Atarimania has all the rarities now, no need to have two seperate databases.
On the other hand it's still there so feel free to use it if you like!

Atarimania has a PAL rarity list now?

Only R10's are listed.

R10 in our database means: less than four carts known to exist.

Maybe in the future, I will change the R10 symbol with a Holy Grail symbol or something like that.

A R1 - R10 scale will not be used in our VCS games database.

What is the story with this funvision console. I am familiar with the 'junior' clone funvision console but not this one!? is it for 2600 games?
does anyone else have one of these?
are the funvision 'junior' clones rare?

This particular funvision console is extremely rare.

The funvision Jnrs are rare, but if you look hard enough you should be able to find one fairly quickly. As for the Time warp cart in the instruction manual... alls i can say is GOOD LUCK!

Having been one of the very early contrbutors, I'm sorry to see that the project came to a stanby point. I have always wondered why there seemed to be a lack of cooperation from AA when it comes to PAL games. Actually, the AA database seems kind of a static one: there are games for which the rarity score index has to be reviewed since years back and are still untouched (Obelix comes to mind, it was rare in 2000 but it seems that everybody owns a cart today).

Did "our" PAL database contribute at least to the building of Atarimania's somehow? :ponder:

Thing is, the PAL database is an open one. There's nothing to stop people changing at reviewing it. Just because I don't have the time any more (nor the money! :) ) shouldn't stop anyone else.

As much as anything else, though, I think it got to the point where pretty much everything got added! Obviously there's still gaps, it's nothing like as complete as Atarimania, but pretty much all the carts people come across are on there, I think.

Incidentally, Obelix was actually a pack-in game with the Vader in France, at least for a little while.
