Was Bug Hunt ever sold seperately from the XEGS?

[Gunstar]

The title is the question. Here's the background. I purchased an XE game system in a lot of atari stuff I'm refurbishing and/or restoring for resale. Except for the box, this ones in mint condition anyway, and is complete, including all documentation, except for a Bug Hunt manual. But that's the second question; did Bug Hunt have a manual enclosed with the XEGS? If it did, that's the only thing that's missing. Normally I would assume it came with a manual, but since the game is so simple, and doesn't really need one, I am thinking it's a possibility Atari never included one. Bug Hunt isn't even specifically mentioned as an included game, it just says "Includes Flight Simulator II, Missle Command and a shooting game."

I would have to dig out the stuff out of storage, but here it is on Atarimania

Yep, bug Hunt came with the manual in the XEGS box at least in New Zealand. I have had several of these over the years.

I don't know if it was sold separately, but I do know that Bug Hunt was also the pack-in with the standalone XEGS Light Gun.

In the UK they did it both ways (i.e. with or without bug hunt as part of the package) as they were also selling bug hunt as a standard cartridge game
