    Yeah that's pretty spot on, Red Sea Crossing should go before Atlantis II though, these top 4 should be more worth than any competition cartridge, as they were released for retail.

    [...] we had this game valued between $5,000 and $10,000. [...] Nearly five years later, the video game collecting market has taken off quite a bit, so it is easy to value Gamma Attack between $20,000 and $50,000 making it arguably the most valuable video game of all time.
    Wow, no reckless game-market manipulation here in the guise of reporting, no sir! It might be fun to learn what kind of VCS "investments" the authors have.

    I realize they list some other huge prices but that still seems to me to just be feeding the beast.

    So, Atlantis II... no way of telling it from the regular Atlantic cart, eh? Lame. I just saw a picture cart last weekend at the Flea Market that I passed on. Dare I roll the dice for $5? Better off buying $5 in lottery tickets, I reckon. Perhaps I'll do both tomorrow.

    The only way to tell is the score, Atlantis II has differents fonts when compared to Atlantis.
    Oh, and of course when playing Atlantis II is twice as fast when compared to Atlantis.
    But nothing lame about it, it was never sold and came in a box with the Atlantis II sticker on it, lame is that people always threw away boxes, imo.

    This is a pretty old article, I'd imagine the prices are quite out of date.

    EDIT: Scratch that, I now see it has been recently updated.
