hapsburg Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 I got a Blue Lightning demo card as part of an auction. It has a gold label with copyright info that reads "demo card" and you can't play it. The game just plays itself through random levels while switching back to the logo info. Does everygame have one of these? I assume they were for stores or shows... Are they rare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only exists for Blue Lightening, no other games. I'm not sure how AtariAge scores it on the rarity list, but I'd say that while it is at least somewhat rare, it's not so rare that if you're looking to find one you can score without spending too much money.

CrazyImpmon Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 There are 2 more versions of Blue Lightening demos: silver label and EPROM (no label) I have seen the EPROM version at Toys R Us when they still had Lynx to sell. AFAIK the gold label version is the most common of these 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 I'd have to agree. I've never seen the silver label kind, but I did own one of the bonafide EPROM boards at one time. It had a copyright sticker on it (looked like it was done on a typewriter ) and even the EPROM itself was dated from the late 80's. Pretty cool.
