    Question for an Atari/Sears game system expert

    I have aquired a collection of original 8x10 black and white promotional catalog photos of Atari/Sears video game cartridges circa 1983. Included are some rare photos from Star Wars: Revenge of the Jedi Games I and II showing full box art. Neither of these games were ever actually produced.
    Titles included are:
    Revenge of the Jedi Game I
    Revenge of the Jedi Game II
    Amidar
    Super Cobra
    Lord of the Rings
    Sky Skipper
    Strawberry Shortcake
    Tutankham
    Reactor
    Star Wars: Jedi Arena
    Spider-Man
    Incredible Hulk

    Any idea what these might be worth to a vintage game collector? A lot of the boxes shown are clearly cut and paste mock-ups. They have to be pretty rare.

    Sounds like an awesome collection! You should be able to find the information you need on the Digital Press forums.

      I'd love to see some pics of these! I actually own 1 of 2 known NTSC prototypes of Revenge of the Jedi game 2 (the Ewok Adventure) and I'd love to see the artwork for it. I do know that a couple of the mock up boxes were sold on ebay a number of years ago for somewhere around $500...i'm not sure what the photos are worth though

        ^Pics added...obviously game 2 changed to Ewoks at some point...the original concept was the Sarlaac pit. Again, these are 8x10 glossy photos.

          Those are really great and most definitely rare...Sorry I made a mistake when I said I had ROTJ game 2....got 'em mixed up. I don't think there was ever a change, other than calling it the Ewok Adventure..my bad....I'm not too sure if box art has ever been discovered for the Hulk and LOTR games so, you might have something REALLY special in those

            Have you tried the Atari age forums?

            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

              I have 3 Star Wars games: Jedi Arena, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. I also have Reactor, and Strawberry Shortcake. I used to have Tutankaman, but it didn't work too well. That's just the tip of the iceberg, I have 180 Atari 2600 games (including doubles), and 40 Intellivision II games.
