    Default Sealed Atari 2600 Games

    What are sealed 2600 copies of Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Man, Jungle Hunt, and Dig Dug worth? They are factory sealed and have the little plastic hangers on the top for hanging in the store.

    I bought them all together for $20 way back when.

    Pictures here, although not singled out:

    Probably wouldn't even be able to get your $20 back if you were to sell them. That Pac-Man cart is for the 5200, probably net you about $1-$2 as the only more common 5200 cart is Super Breakout. 2600 Jungle Hunt and Dig Dug also about $2-3 each, and maybe $5 for Ms. Pac-Man.

    Sealed? I don't know Atari stuff, but I doubt that. Methinks you skipped the important word in the title!

    Didn't skip it at all, those games are among the most common sealed 2600 finds.

    Really? I would have thought that games as old as that would be super hard to find sealed, especially when they are as popular as those titles. I guess I've just proved that I really don't know Atari stuff!

    Yeah sadly this is true. I bought a large lot of sealed Atari games a while back and inquired as to their value here. Seems they were a dime a dozen after the crash and continue to be so....

    Yep, its actually pretty easy to get some atari games sealed. 7800 games for example pop up all the time NIB for cheap prices.
