I bought an Atari 2600 Jr. off eBay not too long ago, and it came with five carts.  Among these was a cart with no labels: only torn pieces of masking tape in an X where the front label should be, and a torn piece of masking tape with "Mario Sur les caisses" written on it where the top label should be.

It's an Activision cart, and the game itself is actually quite entertaining.  You are a little man, and you start at the top of the screen.  There are 3 rows of platforms in sets of 3 that move left and right across the screen.  You can switch the directions the platforms are moving by pressing the button on the joystick.  You score points by jumping on the sets of platforms as they move across the screen.  I'm sure that description made no sense at all... :-/

I have absolutely no idea what this game is.  I've attached a picture of the game to this post (Not that that will help, but it's a nice touch.).  If anyone knows anything about this cart, please let me know.  Thanks!

Definately a bad translation but it means "Mario on the cash registers" or another one i just found by doing alternative word searches "Mario on the cases" neither seem to make much sense.

Any chance of taking some pictures of the game in action?
I want to see what this looks like.

I guess I could try taking pics with my digital camera...but those won't turn out very well.  I really have no way to get in-play pics because I don't have my TV hooked directly into a camera of any type.  If anybody knows a way to get good in-play pics (which I'm sure some of you do), please let me know.  I would appreciate it a lot.

Just use it without flash in fairly decent lighting, shouldn't come out too shabby.

Now i wonder what is the deal with the strange label.

maybe whoever it belonged to got it without a label or couldn't remember what the hell the game was and made up the name.

Frostbite is a fun game btw.
