I bet all those boxed media variant boulder dashes took you 15 years to aquire. I can't remember the last time I've seen a box pop up been years. You're probably the only in the world 🌍 that has this media variant boxed set museum pieces. It's good to not follow the 🐑 off the cliffs edge.

One of the rarest video games in existence.

 

Definitely rare but not one of the rarest in existence by any stretch.  If it was then Rhod wouldn't have four copies, regardless of how long he's been collecting.  The rarest computer games in existence are all titles from small publishers that hardly anyone has ever heard of, so no one bothers looking for them in the first place.

 

The First Star releases are all hard to come by (especially on cartridge) but I would say Boulder Dash is one of the more commonly found of the bunch, along with Astro Chase.  It's unquestionably the one in the highest demand though.

Correct, popular title rare enough. Heck even the limited 200 release homebrew sold for over 1,000. Rhod probably bought a couple boxed copies from atari8bitcarts when he was selling. I considered him to have the best collection for the Atari computers. It probably took rhod over 10 years to get all these boxed, I appreciate the effort involved to get these.

the atari versions, I bought them between 2002 and 2010 approximately.
the commodore 64 version, which I had never seen since 2000,
curiously appeared twice in 2 months. in August 2021. a new part at $700.
and in September for immediate purchase at $300.mine

Is this game for the Atari or Apple?

 

Thanks in advance!

I believe it's for apple, the only weakly reader I have that doesn't have an Atari sticker. If you're looking for undumped Atari I have a whole bookshelf that possible has some of that in there. If there's a way your welcome to dump anything in my collection.

Many thanks for the offer, that would be fantastic!

 

Actually, I saw a number of unarchived cassettes in your collection. Would you be able to create .wav files out of them so they could be dumped? There are tape specialists who could offer you guidance if needed.

I would probably just ship them off to you or someone else that knows how to do it. 

 

I have about 15 to 20 games that are box only so no guarantees. I'll get more pictures up of cassettes and disks and you can tell me if you don't have it.
