Atari Quack! ?
<< < (2/4) > >>
rdagger:
If you download the manual from KLOV for the 1982 Qwak it has a motherboard schemtatic that matches the ebay auction picture.  Note that if you read through the manual it refers to the game as Quack. 

Klov has this manual linked to the wrong game, because the manual also refers to a rifle and has 1974 dates.  Therefore the manual should be linked the the 1974 Qwak!  Someone should tell Klov.

They didn't even release games as Atari in 1974, did they?  I thought they were Kee at that point.

But the question remains, which is that board?  It sure doesn't look like a 1974 PCB to me... it looks a good amount like an early 80s Atari PCB, much like Asteroids or Asteroids Deluxe in layout.
atarigames:
That is a 70's board.  It looks like an early or prototype version, due to all the wire jumpers. The large T-02 power transistor is missing.  The giant resistor is also a giveaway.   Almost all early 70's Atari boards used that resistor in their power circuit.  By the 80's most power circuits had been moved to the Audio Reg I/II  boards.  The 80's version of QWAK is picture on my website.
