    Default old donkey kong 'mini arcade' game?

    Digging through my closet I found this old game.

    http://www.geocities.com/quintracker/possibly_rare

    I really don't know what to call it, just looks like a small version of an arcade game. I'd like to know what it's actually called, if it's rare, and maybe estimates of value. I looked on ebay, but couldn't find anything. :/

    I know all you experts can help me

    Are you looking to identify it or sell it?

    Sounds like the Coleco tabletop Donkey Kong. This picture has most of the tabletop units (all of them in that style), can you see Donkey Kong?

    As for value, I'd estimate it at $40-50 depending on the condition, two things are very important with these: the labels (two side panels, a marquee, and the area around the controls) and the battery cover, which often breaks off. You're closer to the $50 if your labels are in good shape and you have the cover.

    Find the box and you can triple your value. They're really hard to come by.

    It's the Coleco Donkey Kong. It's not that rare and can be found on ebay most of the time (see url below). When new they were about $60-$70. These days, boxed and mint it'd probably go for $80-$150 or so. Loose, on ebay they generally fetch $20-$55. However those are ebay prices. Personally I wouldn't spend more than $25 for a loose one in good condition.

    I was just looking to identify it, which both of you did for me. Thanks!
