    Default Which Smurf game is this? Atari 2600

    Hello, I was at the flea market and picked up some games for Atari.

    One of these games is a Smurf game, but it doesn't match the boxes I've seen on google. Can't seem to find it on amazon or ebay as well.
    Does anyone know?

    I would guess from the artwork it is 'Rescue in Gargamel's Castle'.

    I wonder which country, though? The text on the box is in five different languages, but it doesn't match the box for the PAL version. Maybe it's a variation/rerelease?

    Perhaps it is from Mexico? It could have had a variant of the PAL packaging so that it would contain Spanish-language contents in the manual, but have a US NTSC Atari game cartridge.

    MickeMan, can you post photos of the game cart or manual or the back of the box?

    The box seems to match this PAL version on Atarimania

    There might be other versions as well. When I typed Smurf in the search engine at atarimania (under the 2600 section) it came up with 4 pages of results and I didn't have time to check them all
