ps4isthefuture Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 This is my collection of 53 games for the Emerson Arcadia 2001, including games released in other countries where the console went by several different names and licensed to several companies. This console was released in May 1981 for $199.99 USD (about $495 USD in 2014) and production ceased 18 months later. I still need box art for Monaco Grand Prix, using a screen shot at the moment. Waiting now for 12 days for thegamesdb.net to add this platform and the Bally Astrocade to their database. Still waiting for them to add my photo and description for the Fairchild Channel F as well. Hope you guys enjoy and will have my Bally Astrocade up here soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ps4isthefuture Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Thanks for that mate! I looked for hours and came up empty handed. I have even downloaded from old archive files looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bd00 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Ah sorry, I made that myself. Figured it would look better than a screenshot. I should of mentioned that, my bad. I believe Monaco Grand Prix was from the "Palladium" group of the Arcadia 2001 family, so maybe you could use that to hunt down an original box shot if you really want it. Other useful info that might aid your search: It was published by UA Ltd. in 1982. It was a 4K cartridge, not 8K. Game number may be 775/096 (Palladium) Hope this helps.

bd00 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 OK. I decided to do some digging of my own and the game number is linked to a game called Video-Autorennen. Here is the box art (I believe this to be original) Same game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bd00 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 May be worth taking a look at this: http://www.digitpress.com/the_digs/arcadia/texts/cart-fam.htm http://www.pong-picture-page.de/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=109&products_id=1771&osCsid=54a1c78d4 I will let you take it from here. But from what I can gather, you may be chasing a ghost looking for a Monaco Grand Prix box. Is the game in English? Does it have a title screen? Anything to suggest "Monaco Grand Prix" may not be the games real name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bd00 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 http://www.progettoemma.net/mess/gioco.php?game=gpmonaco&list=arcadia It is the same game. The game is a 4K cartridge not 8K and the Emerson group of the Arcadia family apparently lack support for ROMs less than 8K. So there is no Emerson version of this game. http://amigan.1emu.net/agg/ OK, I really got to go now, hope this info is helpful, make of it what you will.

ps4isthefuture Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 You were correct it was Video-Autorennen I was just thrown off track because the title screen says Monaco Grand Prix. Thanks for making the box art, I think yours is way better. I had the other box art and didn't realize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bd00 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 No probs If you ever need more just ask and I would be happy to create them when I have the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
