Not especially, most of the Atarisoft titles are fairly easy to find. Anything to do with the one listed as $100 BIN on eBay?

The fact that it's sealed ought to count for something.

I've had sealed Vic20 cartridge titles before, haven't especially paid much more for them in the past...

Yes I frequently find most of the Atari titles in sealed form, probably there was a large stock of games in USA that went into storage in the "video game crash" as they like to call it. Even for the C64 there seems to be absolutely tons of sealed stuff that pops up now and then. I bet quite a few of those storages have been sold on but not opened, much like that immense lot of Pet, Vic20, C64 stuff being sold out of Venezuela. Some day they will find a crate full of Space Taxi for the C64.

If you can find a sealed VIC 20 cartridge of the (rare) Wizard of Wor arcade port, that might be worth some considerable money to a few individuals here. If Jeff-20 could get his hands on one, though, it would likely not remain sealed.

If I got it, it wouldn't be sealed either as it supposedly doesn't exist, and hence I'd be dumping it

Mayhem, you're the best!

Are you telling me you could resist playing it?? Wizard of Wor! That shrinkwrap would be off. I don't even think I could wait to find an exacto knife.

I liked the Atarisoft titles though. They were generally really good games.

... except for VIC 20 port of Pac-Man. Thank goodness for Quikman.

Brian Bagnall (in the book "Commodore: A company on the edge") claims these were never published.

Only a prototype was made and it wasn't satisfactory, according to him.
