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

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.Â Clearly the word is out.Â 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.Â 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.Â I wonder if this will break the record for most expensive game ever sold.Â I can't remember that game has the record or the amount, though.Â Maybe someone else here does.

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

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!Â
I'd like to read how this all came about but not over the course of 25 pages! Lol

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