FS: MELTDOWN for the ATARI 2600 VCS

I have a number of cartridges for sale of MELTDOWN for the Atari 2600...

 

RED HOT ACTION TO THE CORE!

Watching the screen that monitors the reactor core, you notice something odd.
An atom is beginning to throb. Uh oh, this means trouble!
Closer inspection reveals a deadly Quark racing through the core, agitating the atoms.
It has to be stopped before it causes a chain reaction of exploding energy!
You must line up the Stabilizing Emitter and fir cadmium rods at the hot spots.
Hurry, the action is really heating up in there. The Geiger Counter is clicking at a frantic pace.
Already, the monitor is lit up with furious, pulsing action.
This is your challenge – You must meet it or MELTDOWN!

Shown at the 1983 Winter CES, and listed for release in April 1983 under what was then a working title. Also mentioned in the April 1983 issue of Creative Computing magazine. According to fellow Videa designers Lee Actor and Roger Hector, the game was completed under the name Atom Smasher. After deciding not to produce it, they sold it to 20th Century Fox, who renamed it Meltdown, who also chose not to release it. When the rights reverted back to Videa, they sold it to Atari, who never released it, and once more the rights reverted back.

A limited run of numbered cartridges were produced with permission from Videa in 2007.
Includes instruction manual.

 

Due to the special programming techniques used, this game is not correctly supported on any emulators, so the only way to play it is on a real system! Get your MELTDOWN today!

 

Price: $25 plus $6 shipping in the USA ... $13 for shipping international

According to BFSTATS here on AA, the binary for MELTDOWN does play on the Atarimania site (Java) and on a Harmony Cart

The problem is none of the emulators are fully compatible with it, which is why I mentioned on the 'for sale' page that the only way to play it correctly is on a real system...
As of today ( 4/12/2015) , I have 13 cartridges in stock at this time : 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55
thank you
