@Joe
Maybe you already know that but i don't see in the Non-US 2600 Games , "Freeway by Zellers".

I believe we did away with the term "Zellers" entirely, didn't we? I don't have the book in front of me - but I thought Marco and Roloff had determined that Zellers was a distributor of some sort, a misnomer among Atari "import" collectors (as StarSoft was). I'll forward this to them so you can get the correct lowdown.

I still see many of these "Zellers" game in the guide. The term "Zellers" for me it's a way to refer to any pirate 2600 cart. It's just a personal generalization.
I was please to see in the NES "Proto - 1 of a kind" section many test cartridge especally the "Joystick Test Cartridge". I don't own this one BUT i have the hardware (thx Sly :lol: ) that the service center was using with this cart. Two standard controller stuck in hard black plastic cube (6 * 4,5 * 2,5 inches) with two cables (one for each joypad) that came out of the "testing box"
You can see it at the following link (the web site seem to be dead, thanks to Google it keep the picture in is cache). I will try to get a better picture in our next CCJVQ meeting.
