Need a little help

[v.g.lover]

I went to this thrift store, looked at the games in baggies on the wall (all common CV games overpriced). A little discouraged I went to look at the books. To my surprise they had put boxed C64 games there. Having very little cash, I picked up the sealed one : Jet-Boys. I was very happy cause this is my first selaed older game find ever. So, long story short, does anyone know what it would be worth? I can't find info on it. Its a disc game, if that helps. Any info would be great. Thanks

Well all I saw on Ebay were 2 auctions that got no bids.

Here is one with a little info on it.

I think I've got that one. It's a pretty good game, too - a side-scrolling SHMUP with simultaneous 2 player action (that always gets points from me).

I can't really speak to the value other than to say that in general diskette-based C64 games aren't highly sought after, thus, aren't very valuable. There are exceptions as Mayhem pointed out last week - the Parker Bros. Mr. Do's Castle and Montezuma's Revenge are apparently "worth something", and I know the Infocom games with the original packaging materials are as well. Others? I'm not quite sure.

The problem with C64 collecting is there were SO many titles released, that unless it's a classic game (ie: Bard's Tale, Great Gianna Sisters) it's usually not worth much across the board. The good news is, almost every C64 game is *somebody's* favorite. If you're looking to sell, your best bet is to throw it up on eBay and hope that "somebody" finds it! You might also try and sell it over at lemon64.com or some of the other big C64 message boards -- you're more likely to find someone looking for it there.
