Hey all,

I found a strange cartridge titled "Dot Gobbler" this weekend. My internet research points to it being a Commodore 64 cartridge. The front side has an orange label with a Pacman-like image and the back is adorned with the following:
INTRSTRUCTIONS:PUSH 1-9 FOR HOW FAST
PUSH F7 TO CANCELL [sic] JITTERS
PUSH CRSR DOWN TO SCROLL SCREEN
PUSH 1 OR 2 FOR # OF PLAYERS
HIT FIRE BUTTON TO START

MACHINE LANGUAGE GAMES INC.
2729 SOUTH US#1 SUITE 12
FT. PIERCE FLA. 33450
PHONE 1-305-465-9363"
Both labels appear to have been printed in the days of dot-matrix. The cart is encased in a white and sky blue-marbled resin.

Any idea if it's worth anything? There's one on eBay with a differnet label than mine that didn't sell for $100. That's not exactly the best gauge of value.

Thanks for any input!

This is what the online rarity guide here is for ;)

A loose Dot Gobbler is worth about $15-20. It's the easiest OEM/Machine Language Games cartridge to find, but that isn't saying too much, as most of the other releases are incredibly hard to get.

Whoops--I didn't realize that a cart like this would be common enough to be in the guide. Thanks, Mayhem!
