+cvga Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Is there a price guide or rarity list for Commodore 64 (and Vic 20) carts? I've been cataloging my personal collection and would like to add the value or rarity of each cart. I know the values can quickly change.

+Psionic Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 The Digital Press guide is probably your best bet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I'm in charge of both Commodore sections. The (online) DP Guide is a pretty good starting point, although it needs a little tweaking in recent times. If in doubt, ask 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Thanks! I have the older physical DP guide but it's (at least my version) fairly outdated. I didn't realize there was an online version. That works great for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8bitCarts Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I stumbled on this: http://www.commodore.ca/manuals/funet/cbm/vic20/Cartlist.html And though dated, is it still pertinent? I've acquired a bundle of vic-20 games and since I specialize in Atari, I'm not sure what the interest is with this platform? Some of the games are ER Extremely Rare according to this page. Thanx.

+cvga Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 I don't think that list has been updated in years but it's probably still fairly accurate. They did a great job with it. Some of the Vic games are fairly valuable. What ER or more rare games do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 There is an awful lot out of date with that Vic20 list now compared to today. Really wrong rarities for some, and many "missing" titles have actually been found. The DP rarity guide is probably still the best place, or you can post what carts here ChrisLynn, and I can give you my verdict... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8bitCarts Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Digital Press for Atari 8-bit is very inaccurate, so I didn't know what to look at. It's looks like DP is missing games and has the values very low. I publish an Atari 8-bit cart list but for rarity and completeness only, since values can be too hard to determine. Here are the titles (all loose): Omega Race PinBall Gridrunner Galaxian Forth Encounter Pirates Cove Donkey Kong The count Pac-man Tooth Invaders Aggressor Atlantis Super Smash Gorf Jupiter Lander Satellites Meteorites - UMI Meteor run - UMI Battlezone SeaWolf k-Star Patrol Mutant Herd Home Babysitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 When it comes to Digital Press, it seems to depend on who administrates the rarity lists. Mayhem appears to do a good job with the VIC-20 and C64 sections, but whoever handles the Atari 8-bit section might be lagging behind. Perhaps they need some help? I ran through your list with the current version on DP, and it gives these estimated values: Gorf, Jupiter Lander and Omega Race - $1 each Atlantis, Pac-Man (Atarisoft version, I presume), Pinball (Spectacular), Pirate's Cove and The Count - $2 each Home Babysitter, K-Star Patrol and Super Smash - $3 each Donkey Kong - $4 Fourth Encounter and Gridrunner - $5 each Mutant Herd - $6 Agressor, Sea Wolf and Tooth Invaders - $8 each Battlezone - $10 Meteor Run (UMI) - $12 Satellites and Meteorites (UMI) - $15 Galaxian (Atarisoft version, I presume) - $20 Perhaps some of those go for a little more on eBay, but it is at least a baseline. The disclaimers about Pac-Man and Galaxian is that HAL Labs through Commodore sold those titles in Japan only for the VIC-1001. Those two games were renamed Jelly Monsters and Star Battle before both more or less were pulled from the market for infringement reasons, as Commodore/HAL had the rights to sell the games in Japan but not in rest of the world. If you indeed have Japanese VIC-1001 editions rather than Atarisoft's independent conversions, they apparently are worth much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8bitCarts Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Thanx, I think I throw the lot onto ebay. I was thinking about getting a VIC-20 but I'm already too thin with my Atari stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 You have Ultima by any chance? Worthless dirt common junk, probably as common and as much fun as ET for 2600. I'll pay to get it off your had as I am building an Ultimate table made of nothing but VC-20 Ultima carts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Good try, but it seems there never was any Ultima game released on cartridge, at least not for the VIC-20. There was one released on cassette though, but it might require you to rethink the table design if you're changing media in the middle of building it.
