About this game

Tommy Angelo was an ordinary taxi driver trying to make a living on the streets of Lost Heaven until one day an unexpected meeting changed his life forever.

Two men jump into his cab, telling him to drive as fast as he can.

Bullets begin to hit the cab, and a car with armed pursuers gets closer.

Barely escaping a violent death, Tommy obeys the instructions of the two men and delivers them to a bar of their choice.

Impressed with his driving skills, the men pay him and offer him a job in the mafia.

The next day, while Tommy is taking a coffee break, his cab is smashed by two rival gangsters.

After this, he recalls the proposition from yesterday, and, without much hesitation, joins the Salieri family, making his first steps on the path of organized crime.

While performing missions for Salieri, Tommy gradually begins to regret his choice.

However, it turns out that joining the mafia was much easier than leaving it.

Mafia is an action and driving game set in the 1930s in Lost Heaven, a fictional city in the USA modeled after New York and Chicago of the Prohibition Era.

Similar to GTA games, it consists of free-roaming (driving or on foot) in a large city, completing missions to advance the narrative.

The missions often include driving to various locations, car chases, and one race; however, most of them are structured like fairly large and long third-person shooter levels.

The player will have the chance to drive over sixty vehicles that are reminiscent of the 1930's period.

Each car handles it differently, with various degrees of damage.

It is possible to smash windows, destroy bumpers, lights, and mirrors, dent the car, shoot out the tires, or shoot the tires so much that they fall off.

To add to the realism, if the car's gas tank gets punctured, gas will slowly leak out until the car totally empties.

There are gas stations scattered throughout the city, allowing the player to refuel.

With these vehicles, the player is able to explore twelve square miles of the city,

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 Mafia 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 Mafia 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 1982.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Mafia, 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.
