What Console is This For??

I can not find this anywhere. AI has failed me. I find the game for Atari 2600, 5200, Colecovision, Intellivision - but all of them have the insert on the short end of the cartridge. What is it for or did someone slap just slap this sticker on a Nintendo cartridge???

I should have figured, it’s with a bunch of other Commodore VIC-20 stuff I got in a bucket at auction. Mostly tapes though. I appreciate it!

What tapes exactly??? Show Pics! You may literally have some "Lost Gold" there in the tapes too..if they are as good as your VIC-20 carts... Post your finds on my VIC-20/VIC-1001 History Facebook Forum.... 😄 - Tony K. Here is the weblink to the Forum... https://www.facebook.com/groups/1199775291563239

I was able to easily find the other ones, this is the only one I could not.
Well that’s not necessarily true, there is some third party software on tapes i found someone made a post asking them to be “preserved.”
I will post them there when i get some time. Here’s a list:

Yep. It's for the Commodore VIC-20. Its rather a hard, but not impossible cart to find for the VIC. Street Price around $40 Bucks... - Tony K. 😉

I’ll have to get it tested, I do know someone
Bladestorm_@reddit
On ebay check prices based listings sold instead of posted, people often post things for crazy prices that never move

??? I literally went to google and typed “Tutankham Parker Brothers” and literally got a myriad of results.
Not to be a dick, but how the hell did you “search” and not get results? Seems mucho sus to be honest.
Stevearino42@reddit
Not everyone's google results are the same. I scanned the first three pages of results and there was no mention of the one for the VIC-20. Google images was no help either.
Wizard__J@reddit
You’re right, but he gave us the front and back of the cart.
If you literally googled anything but those three words in the exact order as I, then your argument isn’t proving anything lol.. just saying.
MeechDaStudent@reddit (OP)
I figured typing “Parker Brothers” would not be helpful since they created the game for all the results I was getting. I was using the image to separate it
Stevearino42@reddit
I googled your quoted text exactly.
icecoldrootbeer@reddit
Yup that's for my favorite little home computer, the VIC-20.
Stevearino42@reddit
It was my first! Hooked up to a little 13 inch B&W TV in my bedroom. I was probably about 13 years old? I was in heaven.
Miss that little guy. 🥲

Thanks to Reddit users ( I like love the wisdom here) the shitty Ai learned without giving money to the community.
DeviantDav@reddit
Pretty cool that they shared shell designs for both the Commodore and the Atari.
cerealport@reddit
Gameplay (volume warning heh)
H0verb0vver@reddit
Took me 1 second to google.
MeechDaStudent@reddit (OP)
No way. Chat GPT, Claude and Google AI image searches all came back Colecovision, Atari, Intellivision. Even after i pushed back twice how their inserts are on the short side of the cartridge they just gave me another of the same
sophiabraxas@reddit
can confirm, googled it using your image and the three first results point to the Vic-20. just stop using LLMs for this and you'll be fine
fiasn@reddit
You can get any answer to any question if you literally just know what to search for
icecoldrootbeer@reddit
Ya well, AI is dumb.
Useful_Resolution888@reddit
Then DON'T FUCKING ASK AI.
ThePupnasty@reddit
I haven't seen that game since I was probably like... 6

Commodore Vic-20 perhaps
