eBay Auction -- Item Number: 220736929753

 

5000 bucks! It doesn;t stop there. It includes 30 games!!! That is if you include the fact that 6 carts have multiple games on them!

 

Maybe the hidden easter eggs mentioned are the reason for the price?

is that a copy of atlantis II in the top left hand corner well it not it kinda looks that way from a distance so that means that maybe the reason that its so high plus the box looks in ok condition for the age.

I like the seller's answer to this question, especially the part where he addresses the questioner by account name so it shows up on the recent Q&As on the auction even though that's supposed to be anonymous.

 

Q: You said includes 30 games,..I see 24,..Where is the rest? Feb-09-11

A: Dear school_girl_in_a_short_dress, Thank you for your interest in the Vintage Atari A Grandfather of Game Systems 2600 Series. The top 6 game cartridges contain a total of 27 games, which were included with the game system when first purchased in 1980. The other game cartridges were purchased separately. If you would like, I can send you an email with close ups of each game cartridge. Sincerely, Midnight-Dragon17
