Even though I do not own any of these games, I'm trying to find some info about them.

Does anyone know whether there were different versions of the games Sunrise released for the ColecoVision?

Last weekend I saw a lone cart of Gust Buster and it had golden shiny label with black lettering.
The seller told me that the boxes of this game also had a 'gold' look.
And I have also seen a copy for 'Campaign 84' somewhere in a silver box with a silver label.

Are the silver ones remakes? Or are they also legit versions of the Sunrise games?

Both the yellow and silver box releases are legitimate. There is a long thread about the Sunrise releases where you can read more. I put some pictures in there:

Thanks for your answer. And also sorry for not finding the thread you linked to on my own by searching more...

yeah the gold ones were supposedly the USA release and the Gray were Europe release I guess. I have both versioned boxes and even though the boxes were different they didn't bother making the labels different. It is the exact same game just different packaging.

The Yellow Sunrise boxes were the first releases, while the Silver were the Late Releases
Mountain King is the lastest release, this is also the only title available only in Silver Box

As for the labels. the Yellow Boxes had the Gold Labels, while the Silver Boxes comes with Gold or Silver .... (except for Mountain King)..... in Silver Boxes they were apparently randomly applied
I think this is the same case for the manuals

Thanks all for your concise answers .

Are these games CIB rare these days or are they as common as say a DK boxed (DK was a pack-in game for my first CBS CV, later they gave Mousetrap instead, so I think the DK are most common without a box)?

I know that at least the 'Campaign 84' title is seldom seen in Europe since the game is about elections in the US, something we in Holland didn't understand anyway.

For the silver editions, there's an AtariAge member named "ozma wars" who has tons of copies of all the Sunrise games, and he can't seem to find buyers for them all. So those games are not rare by any means.

completely true
but I think a lot of people (collectors) also ignore of the existence of these games ! A lot write to ask if these games are for real or a fake. Anyway I need to sell them because, when sold out, have then some cartons of Imagic and Parker games to sell. Unfortunately have no the time to create a youtube video to show these games really exist.
People do not suspect I have or have not these games...
People suspect these games NEVER CREATED in the 80's......

A pity because all these games are very fun, Mountain King and Quest for Q. in particular. In Mountain King also exist a bug that allow yr. character to continue playing and jumping....into the programming code !
best regards from Italy.

I sent you a PM..

I think your main problem in trying to sell them is shipping cost overseas.
The other problem is that the games were not considered to be worth a fortune so when you add in the cost of shipping you would have to sell your product cheaper to account for that otherwise I could just wait for the item to show up in my area. It is going to be the same problem with your other games as well unless you can somehow get them over hear without shipping costs and then have someone here sell them.

You need a bunch of people to come visit you and then take 1 box back each

[ColecoEric]

Well its not just the shipping from Italy to you overseas that is very expensive.
Before I found these AA-forums I saw Ozma offer all five carts on eBay, the boxed games look sweet to have (being MIB) but for 2-5 the shipping is 30 euros (24 US$ I think) to The Netherlands (same continent).
That is alot more than the price for 2 games. I have bought other games from Italy before and then the shipping cost was a mere 12 euro.

So that prohibits me kinda to order them at this time.

Anyways, now I've read about the stock he has to move still, I'll wait for cheaper shipping .
