Gorf
Atari 5200 · 1982
About this game
The game itself consists of four levels: •The first level has you behind a defensive shield, defending against an alien attack.
The level is a top-down view, with your ship & shield on one side and the aliens on the other side;

The second level is similar to the first, only your defensive shield is gone, and the enemies tend to swoop down over the level as opposed to those row formations.
Bonus ships also tend to appear in this level;
The third level is a change, and has you entering hyperspace.
Your only goal is to survive to the end of your journey.
The viewpoint switches from a top-down view to a behind-the-ship view, and in effect you are heading "towards" your destination.
Alien vessels flying in circular formation try to stop you;
The fourth and final level is similar to the first again, with some key differences.
You do not fight a wave of enemies, but a single one.
A mothership with a glowing weak spot, similar in some ways to the mothership level in the game Phoenix.
Hitting the weak spot will instantly destroy it.
The mothership also has that same shield that was yours in the first level.
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 Gorf 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 Gorf 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 1982.

Market insights
Rarity & condition

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.
