Atari XEGS blue box games need their own separate category

Anonymous 10 months ago updated 3 weeks ago 4

Atari XEGS blue box games are haphazardly lumped into the "atari 400" category, this is inaccurate as blue box XEGS games are different and they were marketed & sold as games for a separate new XE console from Atari and their value is vastly different than the 400/800/xl games. For example Donkey Kong, Summer Games, Karateka, Eastern Front & Choplifter XEGS blue box versions are all exceptionally rare and worth far more than the common 400/800/xl disk & silver box versions yet they are all lumped together making it impossible to accurately track their values here. Blue box version of Summer Games in particular being one of the rarest Atari holy grails fetching into the thousands for a new sealed copy. Please add a long needed proper separate category for Atari XE (XEGS). thanks.

thanks for adding this category, i have since finished adding every blue box Atari XE game so now it is complete! however i just noticed that someone mistakingly added the game "laser hawk" to the XE category, it should be in the atari 400/800 category and not the XE so could you please move it? i would move it myself but it doesn't look like I have the ability to. also could you please add this new Atari XE category to the drop down menu under Video Games>>Atari.  thanks!

also it might be helpful to rename the category "Atari XEGS (blue box)" or "Atari XE (Blue Box)" to fully differentiate it and make sure people don't confuse it with the Atari 400/800/XE/XL computer game category moving forward. thanks
