Collector interest

Raid on Bungeling Bay draws its interest from its author, Will Wright, whose top-down shooter became the seed of SimCity, making it a historical piece above all. Originally a Brøderbund work brought to the NES via HAL Laboratory, it stays common loose, yet sealed copies gain value from that lineage and its place in the family tree of the simulation genre. The collectible angle is documentary more than playful.
