Thanks

Almost all these cartridges with a single picture in front and this font letter are Taiwanese Bootlegs, not any rare, valued between $1 and $5.

 

Some collectors here like the V-case variation (top front looks like having a V beveled)

So Nanochess ... This is a common atari 2600 pirated game???

sadly yes.

the manufacturer has produced a lot of these cheap games and flooded the market with low prices. you can find them mostly in the Netherlands and somewhat less common in Italy.

I do not think there are several collectors for this series. On Retro Events you can buy a game of this series for 10€ boxed.

Usually I think many of these will sell in the $5-10 range loose. I guess it depends on where you live to factor in shipping. Finding them in the US is not too common, so my price range domestically is pretty accurate.

I just bought this, but it's got no manual. Does anybody have a scan of that?
Here are some photos for the thread anyway.

The box isn't perfect, but I'm very happy to have it, no matter that it's not rare!
Rare to me, I'd never seen it before, ha ha.

In fact, a boxed game, even if the box is a bit shabby, is super rare where I live.
The box has a name written on it, and first price label. 20 Dutch guilders I think.

I haven't seen a boxed game for sale anywhere like a kringloop or charity shop
(the equivalent of a USA flea-market I think) for several years in fact. I'm lucky
to ever see an Atari cartridge for sale, actually, boxed or unboxed. It's quite sad.
