Ze_ro Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 A friend of mine has been bugging me trying to find out what his prototype cartridge of Secret Agent (Data Age) is worth, so does anyone happen to know what the average price for this cartridge is? It doesn't have to be an accurate price, as long as I know how many digits there are The cartridge itself is in pretty bad shape I'm afraid, with quite a bit of label damage. In fact, the front part of the label that folds over the front of the cartridge (Like in other Data Age games) is torn right off. The game itself works of course (Despite the fact that the game itself sucks). And while I'm at it, I might as well ask what his Atari Video Cube is worth. I haven't seen this game for sale anywhere, but he hasn't given in to any of my offers (I actually enjoy the game). Luckily, this one is in VERY good condition. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 A Secret Agent prototype (assuming it's not a fake) is probably worth about $400 or more. I know I'd pay that much for one. There are only two known to exist so far (three with your friends I guess). Are oyu talking about a regular Atari Video cube or a prototype? The regular cart is worth about $45, a prototype might fetch $200 since it's a fairly rare game. I have but it doesn't have a case. http://www.msu.edu/user/reicher6/2600proto...s/videocube.htm Is your friend interested in selling it?

Ze_ro Posted August 3, 2001 Author Share Posted August 3, 2001 I doubt that it's a fake, though I have no real proof that it isn't. The label looks authentic at least... I could probably get him to scan the cartridge (or borrow it to scan it myself). It's also been sitting in his collection for about 15 years, and he can't remember quite how he managed to get it. I'm not sure if he's interested in selling it or just finding out what it's worth, but if you'd like, I can pass your email address on to him and see what he wants. As for his Atari Video Cube, it's a production run cartridge. He doesn't like the game itself very much, so maybe I can trade him a bunch of stuff for it.

Marco(2) Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 Another interested party here! Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 Ok, let me know what happens. While I'd love to get my hands on it (and so would any other prototype collector), I wouldn't want to pressure your friend into anything he doesn't want to do (I hate pushy people). Even if you just get us a scan that would be great. I've always been interested in this game since I heard of it's exsistance 3 years ago. Back then it was more of a rumor until someone finally dumped and proved it's exsistance a year ago. I'm afraid your friend is a victim of bad timing though. The value has gone down a bit (just a smidgen) since Atari2600.com is selling copies of this game at the CGE.

Blackjax Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 Speaking of Secret Agent... has anyone figured out HOW to play this game? I've been messing around with it to do a page for System Failure, but I can't figure out what the heck to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 I played it once when the rom first came out, so I'm not really sure but I think the point was to catch the good stuff and avoid the bad stuff (like Kaboom). I'll play with it tonight and see... Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted August 4, 2001 Author Share Posted August 4, 2001 Okay, I gave him your email addresses, so I'll let him take it from here. Good luck --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted August 5, 2001 Author Share Posted August 5, 2001 quote: Originally posted by Blackjax: has anyone figured out HOW to play this game? It's basically a ripoff of Kaboom, except there's stuff you want to avoid rather than catch. I always have trouble figuring out what paddle it's supposed to use though. quote: Originally posted by Russ Perry Jr.: Please do. Though, is it a "production" label, or a prototype/loaner label? It's the lab loaner label. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
