I own this cartridge, and it is not listed in the current DP Guide 7. Only the CBS re-release is listed, but there was a K-Byte release first (as was with K-Razy Shootout), and the model number for this cart is ATR-1001. I cannot comment on the rarity, but I have only come across one (the one I own) in quite some time of searching amongst various collectors and ebay, so it can be considered quite rare I suppose.

At Atarimania we have it as a 9: http://www.atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?MENU=8&VERSION_ID=13287
The rarity values at Atarimania are based on complete games, though, and I don't know of anyone who has a box or instructions for the K-Byte release.
It is certainly rare, because CBS bought up the rights to the K-Byte games very soon after "Kritters" was released.
Now, if anyone had a K-Byte release of K-Razy Antiks...

WAS there a K-Byte release of Antiks? I currently have Shootout (ATR-1000) and the forementioned Kritters (ATR-1001), Antiks would be ATR-1002?

No K-Byte version has surfaced so far, AFAIK.
It's interesting that the two confirmed cart releases by K-Byte (K-Razy Kritters and K-Razy Shoot-Out) had "CBS Software presents" incorporated into the code when they were re-released by CBS, but neither K-Razy Antiks nor K-Star Patrol had this addition in their CBS releases.
