The only ones that were specifically designed for young childred were the yellow CCW titles. The 4 different series were just "special series", for the reasons you mentioned (Disney, Jim Henson's Muppets, Charles Shultz' Peanuts). It's possible that Atari may have made a WB Looney Tunes series, but I've never seen any documentation stating they had plans to. If they did, then they would have already missed out with Taz

If Atari 2600.com really wanted to be technically correct about the box, it would have been silver

I think either a silver or red box is appropriate for the release of Bugs Bunny. And since we've already had two "post-Atari" releases in silver boxes (Combat II and Elevator Action), the red box is a nice change.

Not to worry...you'll see several different colors of boxes at CGE this year.

I think it would be nice, if there would be some sort of way for European collectors to obtain this cartridge (like the combat II release).
50 copies would probably cover the whole die-hard European collectors scene.

All the US convention exclusive carts I have seen popup on eBay, better to sell some to real collectors in Europe, instead of some guys at a convention who want to make a quick buck.

The initials in the Easter egg are BP and AJM which is the programmer Bob Polaro and the artist Alan Murphy (the best graphic artis in the world)

I know, it looks like this, right?

I don't know, but anyway: Thanks a lot.

Even the best 2600 hacker would be nothing compared to a good 2600 programmer.

Truly spoken, I would really like a copy of this.

A lot.

Very much so.

Indeed.

Not to be a wet blanket or anything, but aren't there any legal problems with releasing this game? Do they have to get permission from Warner Bros.?

I would love to see the Blue Sky Rangers release those completed M-Network ROMS such as AD&D Treasure of Tarmin and Rocky and Bullwinkle. But last I had heard, they wouln't release them due to license restrictions. Is it just that the Blue Sky Rangers are cowards?

As far as I know they did get permission somehow. Maybe thats why it costs so much? Some kind of liscensing fee?
