My EBay score Spy Hunter Boxed!

[Trade-N-Games]

Wow I was super happy to win this boxed last week and really hoped it was in good shape since there was not a good picture of it. I have been looking for this for the last few years, Got it today and WOW its Near mint and it even had the joystick coupler in it. So I am thrilled. Plus I needed the Slot racers box and the frogger box was a weird variation now i have 4 different boxes for frogger.

And if you had just clicked the Link in the post you would have been able to see how much I won it for.

Sweet. That's only the second time I've ever seen a complete Spy Hunter with the couplers. If that were listed alone I'd bet it'd have gone higher than you won that entire lot for.

Interestingly (maybe), I have the coupler from the C-64 version, and 2 CX40s with the velcro on the bottom. I might even have the floppy around here somewhere, but I'm planning to get rid of most of my C-64 stuff. How hard is it to get a CIB Spy Hunter for the 2600 without the coupler?

The box is the hardest part to get, no questions there. There have only been a few on ebay in the last couple years. Whether they were all with or without the coupler I don't now.

 

I have found the Atari 8-bit version complete on ebay before, with coupler.

 

The C64 version included a couple too that I didn't know. Where Commodore 64 controllers shaped like cx40s? All the ones I've every owned were more narrow, and not of the same model as Atari. I guess since they are compatible it doesn't matter so much if you have Atari sticks handy, but if Commodore didn't release a mocked up cx40 of their own, that's kind of an odd edition to the box.

[Mindfield]

Yeah, Commodore made one stick for the VIC (and thus C64) that was almost identical, except it had a white top and the commodore name on it.

 

 

Was the coupler identical for all released verisons?
