Atariboy2600 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 In 2014 after my roommated passaway I had alot of gaming stuff in storage under his name but as I moved out and try to get the my game collection seem my roommated llate on rent and lost all my gaming stuff that also mean I lost all my old Colecovistion system and games. Well some time ago some one send me a Colecovision system and 5 old games Buck Rogers, Burgertimes, Carnival, Popeyes, and Qbert games but no Doneky Kong and so seem some one send me a unopen box game of DK and I never knew there was a Box game in real life. I never seen this before and have very little info on it. So again how rare is this game? And also I think safe that I should NOT open this game at all right? Heres some photo of the DK box game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 There has been one on eBay that someone has been trying to sell for what seems like FOREVER for $399. I'll be shocked if the guy ever gets that price for it. So that gives you at least some idea. Also, these were made since the Adam computer did not ship with Donkey Kong so that's the main reason why these exist. I've seen at least a handful of them show up on eBay over the last year as an open box and they probably get around $100. So rare to find one still sealed but probably not that rare to find a boxed copy of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValkerieSilk Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I have one mint and one not so much so. I'd pay 300 mint, but my idea of mint condition requires DeLorean's and flux capacitors ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing DeLoreans are coming back. Now you just need those flux capacitors... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vectorman Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I remember seeing those and thinking, why would anyone buy that? That's like paying full retail for a copy of 2600 Combat. However many of these they made, I bet most of them were still unsold at the end of the 1980's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValkerieSilk Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I believe very few were made (in comparison to other games) as DK was bundled with the CV console. There were thousands of unsold mint condition CV games from the 80's, some Ebay sellers are selling off the stock they purchased back in the crash right now on ebay (pixelperfect), however, even he only owns one boxed copy of DK in mint condition. There is an AA (forget who it is) member that makes a great replica box, on the cheap, packaged with the manual and cleaned up cart and warranty card for those who just want something to fill that blank spot in the collection, every once in a while someone try's to pawn it off as an original on ebay but the guy who makes it is completely up front about it being a replica and makes it clear that it's just a fun hobby. Here are three of my NOT mint condition versions for CV, Atari and INTV: - PS ...I still remember the disappointed feeling I had as a kid playing the Intellivision version of DK back in the day, I felt totally ripped off ; ( I remember seeing those and thinking, why would anyone buy that? That's like paying full retail for a copy of 2600 Combat. However many of these they made, I bet most of them were still unsold at the end of the 1980's.

Murph74 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 A ton of these showed up several years ago and cheap ($15) from Jack Berg Sales. I was surprised to see how quickly they were snapped up since every CV sold had one included as best I could tell, so I didn't buy one. I figured it was a post-Adam release for those who bought the standalone Adam and never owned a ColecoVision. Now, I guess the novelty of it and the rarity make it sought after. I tried to find one for a couple of years before finally giving up as it wasn't worth more than $75 to me. You can still see the website listing at the link below, and they still appear to have some Colecovision & other classic console stuff, too. http://www.jackbergsales.com/toys/NintendoDonkeyKongforColecovision.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one and it looked like it was run over by a Mack truck, though it may have been the envelope it was shipped in... Definitely ask for more pictures if you're looking to buy NIB...

Atariboy2600 Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 Need help on some info on this box game. For months I been trying to find out how much in value on a sealed box DK game for Colecovision and I have no luck, also just last week or so I got to a point I almost open the box game just to play Dk on Colecovision for real, I still dont have a copy of the game and have only 7 or so CV carts Im so dying on playing the old DK game on my old TV set and I cant fine any copy where I live, theres not many if any retro gaming store that sales any old Colecovision games at all. What should I do I mean I may has well sell the box game for a used DK cart plus many other old Coelcovision games like Zaxxon, Smurf, DKjr, Frenzy, Turbo with the Wheel. Or just hang on to it and hope to fine those old Coleco stuff someday. And no telling just play DK on an emulator you know in your heart its not the same as playing the real game> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I'm pretty sure you could get a ton of CV games in trade for your sealed DK from one of the guys here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no telling just play DK on an emulator you know in your heart its not the same as playing the real game> If I were you, I would do two things: 1) If you don't mind owning only the game cartridge, I would check out the following thread. The seller is very reputable around here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/168225-fs-colecovision-adam-cartridges-overlays-accessories-etc/ 2) If the above doesn't solve your problem, just post a request in the "Marketplace - Wanted" section of the AtariAge forums. I'll be really surprised if someone can't help you get the (rather common) games you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmack36 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I have a bunch of games available through my site including turbo with the wheel and most common games. Send me a pm if you are interested. If you are getting serveral games I could give you a discount. https://colecovisionupgradesandsales.ecwid.com/ https://www.facebook.com/ColecoVisionUpgradeAndSales/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nanochess Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I'm sure many people here would want it. Just put it up in eBay starting at $1 and see how it skyrockets. Don't forget to link here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
