This one is marked issue 10. There have to be others like this out there. Here is the inside. I would guess it wouldn't have much value but I don't care I love the oddball trickets like this. If anyone has any of the other issues let me know. I'd love to get some more.

You would need a big scanner. They aren't standard paper size. It is laminated too which I thought was strange.

Anyone have any of these? I can't find any info online. This one is from April 1983

I want an original. I sold my Bounty Bob when I needed some cash and now I want to get one back. I have all of the original releases except for this one. So for future reference for everybody, exactly why would anybody believe anything that you say, holygrailvideogames? Allan BOUNTY BOB STRIKES BACK BIG FIVE ATARI 5200 ULTRA RARE seller: stlouisrams2007 ( 4840) Price: US $499.95 or best offer. If you want it just send him an offer of $250 since once recently sold for $200 !

This one is a sleeper in terms of rarity. Great looking artwork as well.

Finding a loose one in the wild = R9 R10 Finding a sealed new one online = R7 R8

That's where the "wild fluctuation" comes in. I have seen them go anywhere from $250-$700 each CIB. If you use the general rule of thumb for handheld electronic games a CIB unit sells for 3 times the price of a loose unit and a NIB unit sells for 2 times (on up) the price of a CIB unit. My wild-a$$ guess would be that they would sell in the huge spectrum between $500-$1400 each... but confirm that with Rik. I really don't want to sell them, but may test the waters with a $4k reserve. What's your guy feeling? Sell or no? If you think you can get 4k then don't waste a second, sell it. I would think in an open market you could expect $500 or so perhaps $1000 if things got nuts. Most Adventurevision collectors are Atari collectors not Nintendo collectors. I can't see what happens with NES Stadium Events affecting Adventurvision prices unless the seller of a 40k game happens to want to buy some Adenturevision games. Yep, and this is why Atari 2600 collectors rock over NES collectors. We appreciate other systems! I think they apprecaite some other systems like the PS1 (expect to see some record breaking prices on that system in the future as well) just not anything from BEFORE the NES. Nah, I can't see that. For NES fans PS1 would be the enemy. It would be like Michigan fan rooting for Ohio State. Or a Boston Red Sox fan rooting for the Yankees. "For NES fans PS1 would be the enemy." Man you are a strange one. lol You are also wrong. Just as many Atari collectors also collect Intellivision or Colecovision or Vectrex many NES collectors collect PS1. Go hang out on the NES forums for a bit you will see plenty of PS1 postings. Or check out sellers of VGA NES games many also sell PS1 VGA games. I can't say a PS1 game will sell for 40k but thousands well that has already happened. Sealed VGA copies have broken the 1k barrier already. Just like NES the rare ones are the early games that don't exist in great number sealed. Resident Evil etc.

Well those are popular games but there are more sealed copies out there than there are loose Stadium Events. There must be hundreds if not thousands of sealed FF7s out there. Same with FF1 for NES. Too many exist keeping the price down. FF2 and FF3 are much rarer and might hit big numbers one day.

Fixed He would have stiff comeptition on something like a CIB Air Raid you can bet your ass on that. I am ready for such an event. That, and when a CIB Gauntlet is auctioned, a PGP-1, Birthday Mania, etc..... I am definitely not done collecting.... I predict that a CIB Air Raid would go for over $25,000.....I am ready for the challenge... Only if a Buy It Now is involved! Only if it doesn't say something like "made in Brazil" on the back of the box.

upps ... that's probably worth 5500$ less now as far as i know the production was stopped because it was so sensible so they made the saber out of one piece just after a few weeks ... i don't know the exact details and prices, i don't collect star wars figures ... Could you buy the just the figure that way? I thought some of the "early bird" set had this but only some. The early bird sets were sent out before the figures were sold so you shouldn't have been able to get one by just buying the figure. I am not really sure. Where are the Star Wars geeks when you need them

I'm guessing they just picked CX26100 because it was free and close to the number range that BB would have probably been (probably more like CX26120+ but close enough). As Mitch said, CX26100 is listed as Do Not Assign or Unassigned on several internal lists. There are a few AtariSoft numbers like that too. It's almost like they didn't want to assign 100 or other 'numbers of significance' for some reason. I don't know why. Tempest In baseball cards they save the hundreds for the big stars. Perhaps they saved it for a big event. ATARI GAME NUMBER 100 !! And the game they had planned was canceled or just never got around to it. Just not so sure about BB. I would guess BB would have had a different number that was then taken by a game that was released. Of course this is all speculation.

Ok I'll clarify a couple questions. Was the art (that was used when the game was released) the original art Atari had planned to use or did the guys putting the release together grab a random image of Bugs for the box? And How do we know Bugs Bunny was CX26100. Was that fact invented by those who released the game because that number wasn't taken yet?

Ok that is nice to know but how do we know this? No box art on the website. Was the box art invented at the time the game was released is that why it is not on the page?

Anyone know what game was asigned to the CX26100 number?

I'd like to see that list if you were ever able to put it together.

It obviously didnt happen He maust have taken up Starmaster on his offer. lol

Well you of all people should understand. You were one of them before this recent flip flop.

A box and instruction manual without cartridge sold privately for $17,500 just prior to this. That SE auction wasn't a fluke SE is the real deal. What has happened is VGA has brought in some new collectors. Some guys who used to collect action figures and comic books got bored and are now slowly starting to thing collecting videogames as "the new thing". However those guys seem to be ignoring the 2600. Sealed NES games get a huge premium but sealed Atari games never really got that much of a premium over mint complete. A $20 complete NES game like The Legend of Zelda might be $300-$600 sealed and perhaps $1000 with a high grade. That doesn't happen for Atari games. Can you imagine an Atari game that sells for $20 complete ANY of the them selling for $500-$1000 sealed? So for the most part these guys start out buying sealed NES, grading them and then flipping or collecting them and ignore the 2600. A new rarity had to be invented for the NES. It was too common to find the games loose or even complete so at first you needed a sealed copy. Now that isn't enough and a grading system has now created a system were a dirt common game can exist as an R9 or R10 in the highest of grades. With the 2600 complete is hard enough in many cases. The influx of new collectors see NES as the be all end all and they are raising the prices. One might argue that on the Atari end some of the bigger spenders have slowed down. Wonder and Marco and Rik etc have about all they need. All most all of the big spenders that I knew in 1996 have retired either selling off or just stopped buying. This happens with all things but there aren't the same number of new Atari collectors entering the market willing to spend 4-5 digits on a single game as there are with NES. Another thing to consider is that the Atari company is no longer around or making systems. NES is the first system is a series of systems that will continue with no end in sight. The rarest of the rare will maintain value don't worry about that but they won't increase at the same percentage NES do. All that being said. So what? I sold my Gold NWC and I sold my SE with manual (no box) I now just buy what I enjoy. Collect what you enjoy.

You couldn't do it with this particular title, it has a unique circuit board. I know Saving Mary was on a rare board but at least one other game had the same one. So I understand that some prototype boards are more common than others but was this board created just for this one game? Are there other games like that out there? That would cetainly add to the value of the prototype if it couldn't be copied. How about the other Star Wars games would those prototypes be different from this one?

I think it is worth atleast a couple hundred to the right person but not worth as much as an unreleased Jedi game box.

Hope you didn't sell it for that !

Those Wico sticks were the best controllers you could find back in the day. They had the bat stick which is the most common, a trackball, this one here and then the interchangeable stick. All of them were built very well.

Well most unreleased games went unreleased for a reason. Looks better on a shelf than in the console. I love the box art on this one.
