Gravitar price?

[bigferret]

I saw that someone mentioned that he would pay $100 for Gravitar. Is this for real? Just curious because I know a place in town that has it sealed in a box for $5.

 

I didn't think it was that rare, really, and I normally want games for my 7800 and Jag more than 2600 stuff so I didn't give it much thought....

 

But, if it is a cool game I wouldn't mind having it.

He probably meant the very rare, silver-labeled variation of Gravitar. The red labeled variation is rather common and could be purchased from OSheay's for 80 cents as recently as a couple of years ago.

yup i was the one who brought up the gravitar and yep it was for the silver version.

[bigferret]

So, now that I know it's cheap, the question remains....is it fun?

[ubersaurus]

It's uber fun, says I.

I have a silver gravitar, it IS a fun game. one of the few rarities that

are fun! Not saying that a lot aren't, but a lot are pretty lame.

Fun, maybe, occasionally

 

Frustratingly hard? You best believe it! I still can't get past the first system!!! (ok I did it maybe twice, ever).

 

Still worth having.

I like it and I have three copies of it in my collection.

2600 Gravitar is an excellent game .. and well done .. I enjoy it immensely as there is so much to do and so many planets and levels to complete. I get so engrossed in it .. and forget I am playing a (lowres) 2600 game.

 

I use the Starplex 5 button controller ( this thing is set up like arcade Asteroids control) (Left, Right, Tractor/hyperspace, Thrust, Fire). It makes for a great Gravitar experience. I also use it for 2600 Thrust and Vectrex Minestorm and Vectrex Gravitrex.

 

Red label Gravitar is common .. pay $1 for it, play in your 7800 and enjoy!

It Gets The Thumbs Up From me. I have two. It's Worth buying Without a doubt. It's Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! You can buy it from O'sheas for like $4.00. Definatly worth picking up. If anyone is willing to sell a silver Label, im always open.

[Paul Slocum]

Personally, I like Thrust a lot better.

Gravitar is a great game, but VERY hard if you play with the gravity on. I find it very difficult with the gravity off also. I also like trying to get through the vortex. I tend to have no problems getting to the center, but once I shoot the center I have a hard time getting back out.

[RCorcoran]

I have to agree with Paul, Thrust is much better.

Gravitar on the 2600 is fun and I happen to prefer it over the convoluted control scheme of the arcade version. I like to think of it as 2600 Asteroids with gravity and landscapes. The game is difficult, but it gets even tougher when you hit the invisible stages!
