A buddy of mine from out of town stopped by and dropped off a C64 setup he had in his attic for who knows how long. Monitor, disk drive, bunch of disks and carts and such. I sorted through them all and found these:

They are all complete (except Magnetron, no box) with all the cards, manuals and such as you can see with Archon. All of them work perfectly and are full games.

Any idea what I've got here rarity or price wise? I have no intention of selling these whatsoever, but I would like to gauge 'em. Thanks :)

Not all that rare unfortunately. In fact, I think they would likely sell for the same price as copies with no demo copy stickers on them. Some good games in there, just nothing rare in any way. $5 to $10 each is probably about the range each in that shape.

So just neat for the collector value. Cool enough :)

Yeah, the stickers just imply they are for demo or review purposes. They will be exactly the same as the commercial versions released. But as said, some good titles in there ;)

I am going to venture a guess that the person who originally owned this setup worked at a computer store back in the day and managed to get ahold of the NFR copies after the game wasn't the latest and greatest.

Rarity and price aside, they are neat items to have in the collection and quite fun to play (I haven't played Magnetron in ages!)
