Great Escape
Atari 2600 · 1983
About this game
Admiral Razorbeard and his gang of robot pirates have enslaved all the creatures in Rayman's world, including the peaceful Teensies and the Lums, which give life to the earth.
Rayman has been captured by the pirates as well and is lamenting his troubles in his prison cell when he meets his good friend, Globox.

Globox has smuggled in a silver Lum, given to him by the great fairy, Ly.
With the power of the silver Lum, Rayman is able to once more shoot his fists.
With his power restored, the pair escape the flying prison ship and embark on another adventure to save the entire world! Rayman 2: The Great Escape is the sequel to Rayman , a 2D side-scrolling platform game.
Unlike the previous game, Rayman 2 is entirely in free-roaming 3D environments, similar to Super Mario 64 .
Rayman has many unique abilities that can help him get around the world.
In addition to being able to shoot his fists, he can use his hair to hover like a helicopter, and even glide on air currents in certain places.
He can climb certain walls and ceilings and can even use his fists to swing from special purple Lums which are shaped like rings.
Rayman also has many unique items at his disposal, such as powder kegs which can be carried or fly like jets, strange warheads with legs that he can ride and steer like bucking mules, and gigantic plums that can be thrown into the water to create new paths.
Rayman's goal is to find the four masks of the world, which allow the owner to reawaken Polokus, the spirit of the world.
These masks are scattered far and wide, and are well hidden and guarded, so it is not an easy task.
By gathering the yellow Lums, Rayman will gain access to new worlds, which will take him to the locations of new masks.
Collecting yellow Lums also rewards him with new powers and life meter extensions.
The Nintendo 64 and Windows platforms are the original versions of the game.
The Nintendo DS version sticks closest to this version.
The Dreamcast version adds a new area to the original
About Atari 2600
The Atari 2600 (1977) was the console that first proved interchangeable game cartridges could sustain a mass-market business, effectively founding the home console industry as we know it. Most common 2600 titles are inexpensive today given how many units and copies were sold, but a small number of extremely rare releases — including several from Atari's own late-era prototype and licensed titles — are among the most valuable cartridges in retro collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Great Escape for Atari 2600 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Great Escape to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This A2600 release dates back to 1983.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Great Escape, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Atari 2600 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
