It's challenging judging the "value" of A8 software, in my opinion. Particularly the more obscure titles.

There are not a lot of sales to go by, which to me means there is low demand, and so that sort of answers the "value" question.

To me, the lack of listings and sales is not due to rarity, just lack of interest . . .


Quality/completeness helps, but I have been pricing it by the following VERY complex formula - -

"shot in the dark" plus "half of the value of 1 single eBay listing from a year ago" minus "all reasonable offers accepted"



Hmm, maybe we can trade A8 educational software - - SAMMY THE SEAMONSTER, perhaps? (See listings link below!)

EDIT:

I was just reading more on ROKLAN SOFTWARE and found a fascinating thread from 2008 - -

Your cartridge may be harder to find that I thought . . .


And, the game LIFESPAN sounds like a TRIP! Read the description on the Atarimania page - -

I'm going to have to load that up on the ATARIMAX MAXFLASH and give it a whirl . . . quite literally!

Yea DP has it listed as an R9, nothing higher than R9 stuff except prototypes. (for the 400/800/XE)

Also, as an aside, an interesting read for A8 rarity - -
