Atari 2600 pirates?

Ok so after looking through my atari stuff I found some possible pirates. Just wanna know if they are worth anything at all and wtf they are.

I'm also guessing "Space Raid" isn't as rare as Air raid

Don't know how much they're worth but there is a copy of Space Grid for sale now & the seller says it is a rarity 10. Not sure if that's true as AtariAge & Atarimania list the game but do not mention the rarity. I'll be watching this one just for curiosity to see how much it goes for.

It's so rare no one knows about it lol. I honestly just think they are pirates, hell look at the label - poor pirates are sinking. But I would love to be proved wrong.

atarimania has pictures of boxes for those carts, and one of them has a k-mart price tag on it. atarimania also does not list an "official" release for those games for australia, so it's possible what you have are official releases. they look like common pirates though, especially since they have different titles than the american versions, and there are at least 3 different companies represented. i don't think pal pirates demand much money.



i could also have no idea what i'm talking about. maybe ask around atariage.

Sometimes we talk about the fine line between NES pirates and unlicenced titles...it's really blurry with VCS stuff though. Cool finds all the same though, that's some awesome artwork. Reminds me of novel cover art from the 80's.
