Hey, I just picked up a copy of Enduro for 2600 on ebay. It came with the box and all the included inserts. The cart itself is mint!

I was just wondering, could this be a reproduction? Or did I score with a mint original?

Also in the case of actual reproductions, how can you tell the difference.

The only reason I am wondering this is because out of all the atari carts I've seen. None ever look this clean. No peels, fading, water marks, scratches..nothing. I know there are reproducers out there but I'm not quite versed on what titles they make.

It's not a repro, there's no reason to reproduce a cart that was produced by the millions and is still commonly found today, even boxed.

I could see someone replacing the label for a game like this but not reproducing the whole thing. I think it's legit though.

Thanks for the replies.

One other thing. There is a manual that came with this that isn't the usual checker flag cover one with artwork. It's just a white booklet with 2 pages of directions.

Yeah, cost saving measure.

Many of those common 2600 games were recently (still are?) available to order new online. Could be one of those.
