Condor Attack........ Is this true?

Recommended Posts

Well, if you go by eBay appearances, yes. This is the second one to re-appear on eBay.

 

Of course, that doesn't mean that there were other ones that I missed. ;)

No, it's a crock. Ultravision didn't release too many of them -- hell, they only made two games for the 2600, and both of them were complete crap. (Well, Condor Attack wasn't horrible, but Karate was up there with Skeet Shoot in terms of posessing a complete lack of any redeeming qualities) Karate was later re-released by Froggo. Condor Attack was re-released by K-Tel Vision as Vulture Attack, but this one recieved approximately the same level of poor distribution and sales. It's a bit of an irony that the crappier of the two games is much more commonly available.

 

There weren't that many available 'cos they had poor distribution and nobody wanted their games anyway. The seller's either grossly misinformed or is simply trying to play up the "ultra super-duper mega awesome rareness" of the cart.

:ponder: You miss things? I don't believe it :)

 

I was under the assumption it was bullshit, or I would have bin'd it without posting about it in here around all you vultures ;) . Only 2 known to exist would have to be worth something.

 

Any ideas about the label variation though?

Use the search. There are a number of threads about this...

It looks like everything in the auction description is accurate. Condor Attack is rated a rarity 9 on AA. And as long as I have been watching, this is the second one with this label variation to show up on ebay. The listing does NOT say it is only 1 of 2 made.

 

FYI, the seller is mcgrail here on AA.

lol, didn't even look at the auction, but you're right it doesn't say anything about that. Is that still Ultravision's version, or a Japanese pirate?

There are at least three of them out there since I have one, FND has one and this one listed doesn't belong to either one of us. :)
