Blaster
Atari 5200 · 1983
About this game
Blaster developed by Vid Kidz for Williams was released for the arcades and is quite obscure.
What is interesting however is that the Atari 5200 version that was not released was actually made before the arcade game.

An unofficial sequel to Robotron 2084 (As it takes place in 2085) Blaster is a 3d style shooter with impressive graphics for the time.
In it the player takes the view from a spaceship cockpit so moving in the different directions shifts the entire screen.
There are four levels you will play through avoiding obstacles, saving humans, and defeating alien enemies.
Upon beating the four levels the game loops but will be more difficult.
About Atari 5200
The Atari 5200 (1982) was Atari's attempt to modernize the 2600 formula with better graphics and an analog joystick, but it launched just before the North American video game market crash of 1983 and never recovered commercially. Its short, crash-era lifespan means a comparatively small library, making the 5200 a niche but accessible corner of early-console collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Blaster for Atari 5200 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 Blaster 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 A5200 release dates back to 1983.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Blaster has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
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.
