This is an extremely rare Atari 2600 game and it is being sold on Game Gavel.  Thought I'd share for everyone to see.

I was reading about this on Facebook last night, it's amazing how these super rare 2600 games keep turning up.

Sure will be interesting to see what this goes for!!!!

I had never heard of it. Thanks TrekMD! Can't wait to hear how it ends.

It's at $5000.00 right now! 

Oh my! I knew of this theme for the Nintendo and later 16-Bit systems. Some of those go for big money like Noah's Ark for the Snes. Just amazing what a lost & found game will do to collectors.

I was surprised to see it at only $200+ earlier today.  Clearly the word is out.  This is indeed an extremely rare game (and not a very good one at that from what I see on the video), so it will keep climbing.  I wonder for how much it will go.

That is a big price jump. It was a good video but the game didn't hold my attention for long.

It sure was.  I wonder if this will break the record for most expensive game ever sold.  I can't remember that game has the record or the amount, though.  Maybe someone else here does.

The game was meant to be used for religious teaching of kids. 

I'm always amazed at how much these rare games go for. It hasn't met the reserve yet either!
I followed the link to the AA thread and it goes on for 25 pages! 
I'd like to read how this all came about but not over the course of 25 pages! Lol

I just read the story on the auction.  That was enough! 

Wow that's amazing.

OK. so we'll see if this one gets there.

This has remained at the same price point for a few days.  I wonder what it will end up selling for!?

If it sells the person should probably donate the money. Seems kinda weird to be greedy with a game of this theme.

That would be a nice gesture but I don't see it happening.

I know just thinking out loud I guess. Just have to wait and see.

This ended up selling for $10,400.  Less than what I thought it was going to go for.  Still, that's a lot of money!

That's an obscene amount of money.

How can that be worth that kind of money.

It is a unique cart, quite literally, which is why I expected it to go for more.  Yes, it is an obscene amount of money but someone must think it is worth it.

Yeah I was expecting 3 times that at least. That's the economy at play I guess.

Wow!!!
