Are any of these tapes rare/valuable?

I just came into possession of these tapes. I don't know the VIC Tape market at all, any of these rare that I should hang onto for preservation/sale?

Simple Simon is not familiar but pretty much all the others seem common.

I think they are all in GB20 currently. Simple Simon is a UK release of a UMI game I think, I'd have to check. Raid on Isram would be worth something if it was complete. Does the Blackjack tape give any more information? Hard to tell if that's an original, a copy, or a new title I don't have archived.

Zorgon's Kingdom is a multi-load game using the 8k expander. Basically 8k per screen and is a great game with good music and graphics.

Raid on Isram is a scramble clone and also a great game.

If you can transfer the Blackjack tape, we can see if it matches any of the four games already in GB20.

As for Raid on Isram, interesting history. It's actually a renamed licensed version of Rabbit's Skramble. It also got licensed to CSA, where it kept the Skramble name. The programmer, Reg Stevens, also sold it to Terminal Software with a graphics change! So effectively I've got the same program in GB20 four times heh.
