Title: Desert Strike cart question
Post by: scott on March 26, 2012, 07:19:10 pm

We have Desert Strike listed in the database, but the cart image is that of a standard Genesis game, and not the bigger carts that EA used to use. The cart that I have is the larger cart and I was under the impression that EA only ever printed their games on those larger carts?

If not, Variant found!... now how to list it.

The yellow tab entry is here:

When I put my cart in I noticed someone had put in a standard cart so I just left standard and added yellow tab entry.

I don't know if they did or not but I figured I would just leave it just in case.  :)

Yeah, I have Desert Strike, Jungle Strike, and Urban Strike all on the smaller carts.  I was under the impression that the larger carts were re-releases, while the smaller ones were the originals.

It's the other way around. EA made these special looking carts to stand out. :)
