Paul Westphal Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Normally I scrounge around for 8 bit stuff and happened to come across Guardian for the 2600. I thought it might have been rare, so I picked it up for $3. Cart / label is in pretty good shape. I couldn't find any prices around. What do these usually go for? Thanks.

atari181 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Loose in good shape is about $55-70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlepaddle Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Thanks for bringing this up; I hadn't heard of this one before. Research shows price $50 to $100 cart only last couple of years, sometimes a tad less or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwackery Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 You got a good deal, loose cart max value I'd say $80, manual adds a little bump, but the big deal is the box. I think collectors have been waking up as to its rarity and pushing CIB copies into the $400+ range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 How did this game get so rare? Most of the Apollo games are 3's and 4'sWas it the last game they released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduecrum Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I picked up mine (missing the end label) a few years back for $40. Got mine in a lot for $20 (BIN). Also missing the end label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss 2600 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Cool! That game is one of my best "in the wild" finds! Found it probably 7 years ago. Loose cartridge with complete label (with actiplaque), but the Goodwill worker wrote 1.00 in sharpie on the end label. At least that reminds me what I paid for it.
