Canada (Odyssey2)

Magnavox / North American Philips made some special carts for the canadian market...

Here are some pictures of my only 2 canadian games: Pick Axe Pete (Pierre et la pioche) and Thunderball (Machine � boules).

Pierre et la pioche / Machine � Boules

Not only the difference between US releases and canadian releases were that in Canada there were plastic boxes, but the titles, manuals and carts are in english and french (as french is official language in Quebec). Also, backside of the plastic boxes have some interesting differences, and some games have an "special" indexcart (a sticker from Philips Electronics Ltd):

Backside of this couple of canadian games. Click to enlarge to see the differences.

 

"Special" canadian indexcart: only a common sticker. Some orange variations of these stickers has been found.
