Are these games rare ?

Somebody in my town is selling three vic-20 cartridges (with their boxes, or parts of their packaging, and all three with manuals) and he labels all three as RARE games, they are:

Cannonball Blitz (1982)
Crossfire (1981)
Star Battle (1981)

What do you reckon? are they all rare games?

his add has been nagging me for three months (he has still not sold them), I may give in.

They're all uncommon really... you could offer C$30 and see where he goes from there...

Except for Star Battle of course even if it's not so common like other Commodore cartridges.

Well Star Battle is at the lower end of that grouping... it used to be considered rarer but now is much easier to find, especially in the UK for whatever reason. I think it's currently listed as a 4 on the DP guide.

It may be regional. I don't see VIC carts at all in these areas (Chicago). It took a long time before I found Star Battle.

great

, the person updated his advertisement and want 30$ each or 70$ for the lot.

what a bummer, there is another retro-nut in my tiny rural province who does not view such stuff as junk.

It makes the karts less appealing, I am a preserver of what I have but I am not yet prepare to go all-out in collecting... yet.

better use my energy learning to program the machine.

I'll see... I might make him a low-cheap offer at some point... at least him asking that much for them shows me he won't throw them in the garbage anytime soon.

I know another cartridge that for USD 99.95 give you these games plus plenty of other games and much more

Get a Mega-Cart... you won't have any regrets as it simply and elegantly completes VIC 20.

Ordered the mega cart in February. It is August and still no confirmed date. Is this common?

Don't worry, Brian was really busy in the last months but now finally restarted Mega-Cart assembling, all orders will be dispatched and payment asked only when your Mega-Cart will be ready.

Btw during this pause, I've updated the firmware with new features and tools to better integrate the Mega-Cart with sd2iec based drives, uIEC, SD2IEC, C64SD and other things.
