I have been offered some vic 20 games locally. But I odn't know much about them. I have 12 or so in my collection but this person has 20+ for sale. I looked them up on the online rarity list but half of them aren't listed!!!!! I searched for other lists online and they don't seem to be listed there either. I'm all excited thinking these might actually be unreleased games or something crazy like that. Here is a list I know Alien Blitz is an R7) so there are rare games included. I even typed the names in without specifying what system they were for. Some showed up as arcade games...

An Introduction To Basic- Part 1
Alien Blitz
Cargar
Chase
Convention
Crazy Balloon
Demon Hunt
Exterminator
Frogger
Frogs
Galactic Defender
Grand Prix
Grid Runner
Horse Race
Ice
Krazy Kong
Laser Shoot
Maze Master
Metro Dome
Night Flyer
Rotate
Safe
Senorita
Snackman
Space Birds
Star Fights
Tanks

If you can tell me anything about these I would greatly appreciate it. I don't know what to offer him for them. Thanks!

Vic games in the wild are usually rare, the problem is that such a few percentage of collectors collect it, the market is small. Sounds to me that you found a good hall, it matters is all the games listed are on cart or not. Games on cassette tape are not sought after that much at all due to thier fragile nature. I sold my collection to Joe, and I am glad I did. I had over 100 carts, many very rare. I got out of collecting vintage computers, but I am into about everything else. I would buy the stuff pronto if the offer is CHEAP.

They all sound on tape to me here.

(Alien Blitz was released on tape in UK by Audiogenic for example, they licensed quite a few games from UMI).

If you want them as a bundle pay no more than than a couple of $ each for them (if you're in the US) or a quid each (if you're in the UK).
