    Default What are your favorite 2600 Cartrige styles?

    Forgive me is this has been done before (it probably has) but I thought this would be an interesting topic to post about. What is/are your favorite Atari 2600 cart styles as well as for other systems? Be it labels shape color size, what interested you?

    For me
    Atari for one, their style was so plain but so sharp and crisp.
    Parker Bros. Just love the pyramid style and the ribbed sides.
    Avalon Hill These just have a look of mystery to them, maybe because they are all so rare and all have such a dark pic. and the whail style ribs on them make them look so old and vintage.
    Konami they are pretty sweet too
    Men A Vision. Sky blue carts with handlebars are just sooo sweet

    I thought Activision's were rather ugly though so were CBS
    If they made a movie out of your top five worst sins, what would it be rated?

    Personally I like Tigervision carts. The jagged grip is neat, and I also like thier color scheme as well. The games weren't terrible either.....

    out of the ones ive seen?... the activision ones. When you stck them, they lock to each other. ANd you can easiyl see the name of the cartridge.

    As far as the cart shape goes, I'd have to say the standard Atari cart. The one thing I absolutely LOVE is the artwork on some of these (Defender, Yar's Revenge, Missle Command etc.)

    LOVE IT!!!

    Condor Attack has an AWSOME cart. It is the size of a normal cart with T-handle on top. The foriegn knock offs from germany(?) are even cooler. They are really small carts with T-handles. These specific foriegn knockoffs made BattleZone, megamania, and some others. I don't know.
    Somebody make me a "CGE 2k7 Attendee banner" so I don't have to use this lame text

    Condor Attack Carts look awsome. It's just too bad tbat they are so rare now, and worth so much because I'd love to get my hands on one.
