I need some of the stuff this seller is smoking! Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this in but I saw that and nearly fell out. B & C Computervisions sells it for $9.95.

Hey does have some minty fresh Ultima stuff which folks would pay $100 for

[tjb]

Hmm, maybe he made a mistake? Or maybe Joust is super rare in Finland??

Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone know how many games came in that style box (the ST Entertainment Series)? I know of Joust, Battlezone, and Cracked, but I suspect others.

I also have Missile Command, Star Raiders, and Robotron.

Some US releases are sometimes wrongly assumed to be rare by European collectors. This is certainly one of these cases.

 

The seller is listing several ST items that are, IMHO, overpriced. But it is fair to say that he uses to overpay a lot as a buyer. When he bids, he wins.

Besides those already mentioned, Crystal Castles, Moon Patrol and some more that I don't recall right now. That box was the standard and common packaging that Atari used in the US.

Wow that many? I have something new to collect...

FYI

 

Pic shows standard Atari US (Large Gray Box) game releases (and some early Applications also came in this style box), then you have Atari UK style game box (Red) and last but not least the cheap and cheerful Atari UK/Australia (and possibly elsewhere) plastic type game box.

 

None of these titles should be considered rare to warrant those prices - sure, in good mint condition maybe $10-15, anything more is a crime
