Found this the other week and I've been trying to identify what system plays it?

Here's some pics:

Looks like a C128 game i have, though I never owned the c64 so it might be for that.
YEAH go64 mode.....

Commodore? I looked in the online database and couldn't find this game listed under it.

Commodore VIC-20?


That's probably it.

That's final fantasy for the super nintendo, it's really common. I'll give you $1 plus shipping for it.

EDIT: As nobody replied I thought I'd point out that was a joke...

Definitley not VIC-20. I think it's either C64/C128.

Looks like an Atari computer cart to me.

Checking out the ol' rarity guide, it appears that Jawbreaker II was only made for three systems--the Atari comuters, TI-99, and VIC-20. The TI-99 carts are shaped similarly to Sega Master Systems carts, and the VIC-20 carts are even longer than that.

So I'm sticking with it's an Atari XE cart. And not a common one either . . . rarity 6, value $40. Pretty nice.

Then again, the description of Jawbreaker II for the Atari XE in the rarity guide reads:
"The label on this game incorrectly calls it Jawbreaker but it's actually Jawbreaker 2. An actual Jawbreaker 2 label is not believed to exist."

But a search on Google brings up this Atariage link:

http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=2609

Which does indeed seem to show that you've got yourself an Atari computer version of Jawbreaker II.

It is C64. Look at the description for Jawbreaker in the online rarity guide. It says it sometimes comes in a "Jawbreaker II" variation, but it is still Jawbreaker.

NOT Vic-20

Vic-20 games are longer than that snes cart. C-64

So this is actually Jawbreaker for the Commodore 64 with an incorrect label?

Thanks for the replies, guys. I appreciate it.

No, I believe that wufners, above, was correct in his assessment that it's an Atari 8-bit cart. Clink the link he provided. It's an exact match.

It's for the A8 (Atari 8-bit(s)...A400/800/XL/XE series). Great find, especially with the label in good shape. Those Sierra titles have a habit with the labels rubbing out and looking like a piece of foil. They are also harder to find. The game is sort of like pac-man...sort of. Get an Atari 800 and play it! :)
