"Sorcerers Apprentice".My yellow loaner is also numbered.I own number 34 of 49.
It is a loaner cart from Atari Germany.And under the yellow label is a normal lab loaner label from USA.

To answer Mitch it's just a white dot matrix printed sticker that says Galaxian.

But the problem with it being Atari Germany is that it is a 5200 Cartridge. The 5200 never saw distribution in Europe. And I found it at a Game Trader in Orlando along with three others and a tooth protectors for 99 cents....

I've seen one or two 5200 protos with those stickers (Roadrunner being one). Basically they're German prototype labels. I have no idea why Atari sent them over to Europe, but this may point to a possible PAL 5200 release.

Hi Guys
yes,i know that this Galaxian is a 5200 lab loaner.But i know from a friend,who worket at Atari Germany,that they had plans to release the 5200 in germany.
And some Video game shops wanted to sell the 5200.Maybe this is the reason for a german 5200 lab loaner.But at the end,the 5200 was never sold in germany.
