Title: Halloween - Atari 2600
Post by: Silv3r on July 13, 2015, 02:14:48 PM
I found this listing for an Atari 2600 cart of Halloween which of course is an actual game. However the cover art doesn't match up to the scans on-site and the game studio listed on the art doesn't match up either.

Listing:

Game:

I'm probably wrong and it wouldn't at all surprise me, but is this just a variation or a re-release/unlicensed or what.

It's a reproduction cart - Hozer Video Games did homebrew/repro carts before being shut down.

Yeah, the little white head in the bottom left corner is the Hozer logo. Just something to look out for when you see other rarer Atari carts pop up. :)

If you are in the market for this game or TCM and have any questions regarding authenticating a cart, send me a PM.
