Stunned with rare game disc worth 240 million donated to charity

Recently, an employee at the Goodwill charity in Texas suddenly found a game Atari 2600 extremely rare in the pile of video games and electronics donated to the foundation. This fund later held an online auction to sell the game and after more than a week of opening for sale, the game went to a new owner with a price of up to 10,590 USD (about 244 million VND).

​

Earlier this month, Alex Juarez, a Goodwill employee in Texas, found a copy of Air Raid – a game for the Atari 2600 platform released in 1982 by Men-A-Vision in a donation pile. It’s not a great game, but the square blue box design with a complete T-shaped handle on top makes it special.

However, what really makes the Air Raid so expensive is that it is produced in very small quantities. Only 12 copies of the game were sold worldwide, and not many of them were revealed. A more complete version of the Air Raid with full original packaging was sold for $30,000 in 2012.​

Goodwill is a large nonprofit charity group that operates more than 150 stores across North America. These stores take donated items and sell them at a lower cost, both bringing income to the organization and helping those who can’t afford to shop at the big stores. I don’t know if the person who donated this Air Raid game knows its value or not, but it will help a lot of poor people anyway.
