Hi, looking for information on this Telegames Star Strike version.

[Grimbald]

I was pointed in the direction of this forum by some good folks over on Reddit. I have come into the possession of what seems to be a PAL release of Star Strike by Telegames. I have not been able to get much information about it, other than a few mentions, and its appearance in a few databases. http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-star-strike_7809.html and http://www.completeroms.com/dl/atari-2600/star-strike-telegames-pal-/1760

 

I've been provided with a little more information about Telegames and how they came to license the game, but putting a value on it has proven very difficult. There are no eBay listings that I have been able to find, let alone a finished auction. I am aware this game -even though, perhaps rare - might not necessarily be that valuable. I'm not an Atari collector, my preference lies with the PC and PS1/2 consoles for now, so this game would probably be part of a trade in the future.

Thanks for your time.

Well, Telegames UK has it in their inventory/sales for GBP 47, cib. Rare it is not.

This item is not actually available from there. https://i.imgur.com/jdoEbY5.png

 

Thanks for the heads up, though.

Your awareness is spot on.

I wish there was a way to distinguish NTSC from PAL Telegames carts. Especially sealed NOS copies that can't really be tested. I guess sellers must see "Telegames USA" on the box and assume it's NTSC.

 

I've wound up with several PAL Telegames carts that were listed as NTSC.

Telegames USA doesn't mean it's automatically NTSC:

It took me many years to create this list.

 

Same for this one:

The only way to tell is to test them.

Star Strike may not be super rare, but having just purchased one I can say it seems to be going for a fair amount compared to a lot of other Atari games. On average it is pulling in about $30-40 on eBay for a loose INTV version. I don't know what the UK Telegames is worth, but I'd imagine you are looking at more than $20 US, which makes it higher than average.
