Anyone have any info on this?:
It's a 4-in-1 cart, where each game is selected using what I believe are referred to as dip switches (??). The games are as follows:
Space Tunnel
Phantom Tank
Bobby Is Going Home
Mr. Postman
The cartridge is made by Bit Corp, model number CP400. Each game was also available separately according to AtariAge.com, but they don't list the multi-cart. It also seems that Bit Corp only released games in PAL territories.
Here are some pics:

Ahhh...Bit Corp, huh? I can't tell you anything about your cart, but it's well documented that Bit Corp is the source of all evil in our world.

This seems interesting. Why do you say that? I need details! :-D

It's not that uncommon, I have a few of these. BIT Corp is German, I think. Those are among the oldest "multi-carts", long before the Dactar and gazillion other Brazilian-based multis started to appear.
I can scan mine in if you want to match it up, but I may even have the one you're talking about. I'd have to check.

Nothing I can retire on then, eh? :-D . I wonder how it ended up in a US thrift store? :/

No need to do that. Thanks for the offer though.

Ah I just found it in the DP Guide. Page 79, column 1, about halfway down. Marco has this listed as a $7/R3; fairly common in Europe, you could probably get a bit (no pun intended) more for it in the US because it is, after all, four games in one.
Are Space Tunnel and Phantom Tank original games?

Consult your DP guide, edition 7, page 49. The truth about the incredibly evil Bit Corp is finally revealed. If you don't have one, purchase one as soon as possible.
