Voor de retroverzamelaars onder ons is er een unieke kans om de Atari 2600 game Air Raid in handen te krijgen, want op eBay word nu deze game, waarvan er dertig zijn uitgegeven, aangeboden. Maar het unieke is dat deze nog in zijn originele box zit en onbeschadigd is, het prijskaartje is atm $7.100,00. Koopje als je het mij vraag.

Though some are still skeptical this is an April Fools' Day joke that's overstayed its welcome, AtariAge forumer Tanner claims he's unearthed a never-before-seen box in astonishingly good condition for super rare Atari 2600 game Air Raid. He also has a copy of the game, only a handful of which are known to exist.

Ostensibly a hack of Wickstead Design's Space Jockey, Air Raid is considered by many collectors as the "holy grail" of Atari 2600 games. Very little is known about the game's developer, Men-A-Vision, and it's rarity is such that the last eBay auction for just the game's light blue, T-handle cartridge ended at $2,850.

Tanner explained how he first came across the game decades ago and rediscovered its box recently:

"I clearly remember buying this game back in 1984 or 1985. My mother had taken me to a Tuesday Morning store in Arlington Texas. It was near the corner of Arkansas Lane and Medline Drive. Not too long after I purchased it, I got an Atari 800 and stopped playing the 2600.

Since then, the Air Raid cartridge has been boxed up in my garage along with my 2600 and other games for over 20 years. The game box was stored separately and I just found it. I had no idea that I still had these game boxes."
