My copy is not for sale but I suggest you try Video 61 at

Nice game on the Atari, just a bit slow at times. The box is a bit weird as it's black and white only.

I'd be VERY careful about that site.
Most of the cartridges that they sell are reproductions.
If you're happy about getting a non-original game then OK. But if you want to go down that road, you could get a Sunmark multicart, or just SIO2PC hard/software.
Pengo is not so rare (5/10) and they do appear on eBay fairly often.
If you get one, please post again.
I'll look out for it.

Thanks, but I'm only looking for true originals.
Buying reproductions, like Telegames' ones, is not my cup of tea.
I played Pengo a long time ago, and, as a true collector filled with nostalgia, it would be an offense to buy such a copy

You may be right about this...
I see B & C has it for $9.95 (new in box) and Bravo Sierra Computers for even less ($7.50), though they don't tell about condition or if it's boxed... Ben Smith of Bravo Sierra Computers is a great guy, maybe you should drop him an e-mail and ask him.

I agree, Ben is a great guy to deal with. A really honest trader.
