Smithereens (NTSC) vs Catapult / Stonesling / Katapult / Burgenschlacht (PAL) on the Odyssey2 - a video response to the Croooow's GameThing 02

The PAL game doesn't feature a highscore - one game equals one destroyed tower. The controllers have been swapped between the PAL and NTSC game. The rest is quite the same. Only the US version seems voice enabled!

The box is neat looks like it would keep dirt off the pins and the manual slides right out a shame Atari or Nintendo never used boxes like that.

@The8BitChampion Indeed those plastic cases make the games look classy and are very functional in protecting the games. Those games were hugely expensive back in the day. Some would even cost 99 guilders which was big money. So they'd better package those carts well! LOL

It's always interesting to see the differences between regions of the same game.

I'm thinking I should have showed off the box and manual in my video now because I has no idea the European version is packaged so differently. And even the differences in the manual are crazy. The US manual has very few words per page and has giant colorful pictures and (simulated) screenshots everywhere.

Thanks for posting this response.

@Croooow111 You're welcome! The odyssey2 and this game especially has a special place in my heart as I played this with my dad quite a lot.

@UKRetroGames I know what you mean Mark, those DIP switches on that multicart are evil!

[markvergeer]

@starsoldier1 Not sure. The voice module only works on the Odyssey2 or Videopac G7000 and not on my more advanced Command Center aka G7400 or Odyssey3. Will need to dig that out of the attic to be able to answer that.

Is there Voice support on this one too?
