Video Life is one of the rarest video games ever made for the Atari 2600.[citation needed] It is a version of the zero-player cellular automaton known as Conway's Game of Life.[1]
[edit] Rarity and value
Video Life was only available via a special mail order offer to owners of Commavid's Magicard, which itself is considered to be one of the rarest Atari 2600 cartridges ever released. According to original CommaVid co-owner Irwin Gaines, only "20 cartridges or less" of Video Life were ever made.[citation needed]
At the 10th Annual Classic Games Expo 2007 at the Rivera Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada a copy of Video Life was sold at auction inside a "mystery box", fetching $1300 from the winning bidder.[citation needed]
