|    Types of labels:                                                     |
|                                                                         |
|   Type     Adopted   Discription                                        |
|   -------  -------   -------------------------------------------------- |
|   Text1     1977     Text with large letters and logo.  End label has   |
|                          the last two digits of the game number         |
|                          printed on the left hand side.                 |
|                                                                         |
|   Text2     1978     Text with small letters and logo.  The number has  |
|                          been removed from the side label and "use with |
|                          XXX controllers" was added.  Early versions    |
|                          have large (R)'s and later versions have       |
|                          smaller ones.  In 1979 copyright dates were    |
|                          added.                                         |
|                                                                         |
|   Text3     1980     A new font is used.  Look for a slanted looking    |
|                          "e" in "game program."                         |
|                                                                         |
|   Black     1981     Pictures appeared on the main label and a new font |
|                          was used for the game names.  The background   |
|                          has a darker black look to it than it did in   |
|                          previous labels.  Game names were originally   |
|                          in lowercase letters, then changed to capital  |
|                          letters after only a few weeks.                |
|                                                                         |
|   Silver1   1982     Background changed to silver.  "Atari 2600"        |
|                          printed on top of the picture in large print.  |
|                          NOTE:  starting in 1985 some games were re-    |
|                          released with this same label format except    |
|                          the background was grey instead of silver.     |
|                                                                         |
|   Silver2   1983-8   Picture size is increased.  "Atari 2600" moved to  |
|                          the upper right corner and shrunk in size.     |
|                          later versions have the name of the game in    |
|                          the game's original font instead of the basic  |
|                          Atari font.                                    |
|                          NOTE:  starting in 1985 some games were re-    |
|                          released with this same label format except    |
|                          the background was grey instead of silver.     |
|                                                                         |
|   Red1      1986-91  Background color changed to red.  Pictures changed |
|                          to black and white.  "Atari 2600 VCS" was added|
|                          on the end labels.  There are slight variations|
|                          in the background color and the size of some   |
|                          lettering depending on where the cartridge was |
|                          made.                                          |
|                                                                         |
|   Red2      198?-91  Pictures changed to color.  "Atari 2600 VCS" on the|
|                          end label was changed to "Atari 2600."  There  |
|                          are slight variations in the background color  |
|                          and the size of some lettering depending on    |
|                          where the cartridge was made.                  |
|                                                                         |
|             1986-8   Atari Corp. rerelease some games in their original |
|                          label style with a later copyright date by     |
|                          Atari Corp.  Some have plastic end labels,     |
|                          some have glossy paper labels, and some have   |
|                          regular paper labels.                          |
|                                                                         |
|           Special Labels:                                               |
|      CCW             Children's Computer Workshop.  Yellow Labels.      |
|      Disney          Blue labels.                                       |
|      Muppets         Purple labels.                                     |
|      Peanuts         Red labels.                                        |
|      type1/type2     a combination of label types.                      |
|      PRO             prototype.                                         |
|      type-P          PAL format.                                        |
|                                                                         |
|                                                                         |
|    Plastic and Glossy labels:                                           |
|                                                                         |
|      Glossy labels                                                      |
|      -------------                                                      |
|         Atari Inc. sometimes coated their Black type labels with a thin |
|         layer of wax (although its not very common.)  Colors look a     |
|         bit darker in the picture for waxed labels than in unwaxed      |
|         labels.  Waxed labels feel a little different to the touch and  |
|         they have a slightly glossy appearance.                         |
|                                                                         |
|      Plastic labels                                                     |
|      --------------                                                     |
|         Atari Corp. sometimes put a plastic coating on their end        |
|         labels.  These were made poorly and tend to have a bumpy look   |
|         to them.  Light reflects well off them compared to the regular  |
|         paper labels.  Edges of the letters look kind of fuzzy.         |
|                                                                         |
|    Types of cartridges:                                                 |
|                                                                         |
|      Type   Discription                                                 |
|      -----  ----------------------------------------------------------- |
|       C1    locking circuit board protector.                            |
|       C2    free sliding circuit board protector.                       |
|       C3    no circuit board protector.                                 |
|                                                                         |
|    Numbers stamped on the end label:                                    |
|                                                                         |
|       Atari Inc. sometimes stamped a number in the upper left corner of |
|       the end label.  This number indicates the week that the cart was  |
|       manufactured.  There are three digits in the number; the last     |
|       number indicates what year the cart was manufactured and the first|
|       two numbers indicate what week of that year the cart was made.    |
|       EXAMPLE: a cart has "453" stamped on it.  So this cart was made   |
|       in the 45th week of 1983.                                         |
|              ^^              ^                                          |
|       Sometimes there is an "E" before the number and sometimes there   |
|       is an "R" after the number.  I don't know what those letters      |
|       indicate (e-mail me if you do!)                                   |
|       Note that Atari made the carts for Sears, so some Sears carts may |
|       have the numbers stamped on the end labels.                       |
|                                                                         |
|    Note: Tony Rice discovered a very subtle variation in the Black      |
|       style label.  Look at the 6 in CX-26xx.  Some labels have a 6     |
|       that has a tiny dot in the center of the circle part of the six   |
|       where the picture shows through.  Others have a "filled 6" that   |
|       has a solid black dot that makes up the center of the circle part |
|       of the six.  Check out Yar's Revenge--I have 4 of them with a     |
|       filled 6 and 13 with a hollow 6.                                  |
