Colecovision Adam Donkey Kong

Since there's no Colecovision Adam-age, I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I can't find the Donkey Kong cassette anywhere on eBay or Price Charting.



I posted on a different forum, and a guy sent me a lot for $75 ($60 with $15 shipping) that included the game. But, I've seen lots before with a rare game and the lot was less than the rare game itself. There's no consistent numbers, so I just wanted to get a feel from what you guys thought it was worth. Thanks in advance!

    I don't have an answer to your question, but lets hope we can find you an answer on this milestone post #3!
  • I think we have spoken before  . Atariage might help you too for pricing. One in a lot sold for $60 on Ebay in June. I do still need the game, but I wont overpay for it. I can ask in the Adam FB group as well for you  
  • Hey John,

    It's good to hear from you again. Who would've guessed that this game would become so interesting? I'm not looking to string you along in any fashion. This title came from my personal collection from an old friend of mine and was on display in my DK area of my game room mostly because of the oddity of a video game being put on a cassette!   If it was easily replaceable down the line, I would've easily more readily parted with it. Even the most valuable NES games like a Little Samson can at least be more easily found, though not at a friendly price.    I simply cannot find it online legitimately on its own and not in a lot or mislabelled. So for me, it really is about the rarity and not the price at this point. Good luck with the hunt.
  • Few collect cassette tapes.

    However, I will say this. Coleco Adam had the best cassette tape boxes of any system ever.

    If you are going to collect Coleco Adam tape games you have to get the boxes.

    This is what my Zaxxon looks like. There is tape that is partially discolored which wraps around the box. Perhaps put there by a store employee to hold the price tag in place.

    Nice! Have you had it a while? Does that listing seem accurate in price in your opinion?

    I have had it a long time. It was chep when I bought it and I'm not sure what they go for these days. However, going off past history I wouldn't say that anything that that seller lists is accurate.

    Neat, even cooler to collect if your name is Adam, right?

    To be fair this isn’t my picture and was found on the net.  At one time I think I picked up a factory sealed set but I could only find Zaxxon when I looked for it.
