Looks like a used game that got resold by a store. If you have ever seen the newer ones that the stores put out with a green card on the back and they are all coverd in plastic like that.

I agree..with so many businesses dealing with used video games, I would not be surprised this is from a reseller.

 

Interesting pic though! Thanks for posting the link.

I posted a link to a Coleco Adam/CV game that was in a blisterpack like that, others here said they had seen them in retail outlets, that one looks to be a stapled re-pack although it may have come from a retailer like that? maybe someone opened it in the store...from what I can tell these were sold in toy stores on racks around the time of the big crash.

This one reminded me of another generic packs: Toys R Us. When they had games missing box (usually the box are on display) they'd put the game and manual in a generic grey box with blue grid background.

 

Probably the same thing with that auction, a repack with generic box or pack. Note it said Atari even though it's a Coleco game and the blister looks to be stapled on not glued on.

That sounds like it could be, but would they have had blisterpacks made up with Atari font letters for just a few games to re-sell, or do you think there might be a chance that Atari them selves made these?
