A rare Christian-themed Atari 2600 game that surfaced at a garage sale in 2007 has sold at auction for $6,562.50. Red Sea Crossing, released through mail order in 1983, was offered by Heritage Auctions with an accompanying audiocassette. The sale marked the first time the cassette itself had been presented at auction, according to the auction house. Steve Schustack created the game and takes its inspiration from the biblical story of Moses parting the Red Sea. Players guide Moses between walls of water while avoiding obstacles and the pursuing Egyptian army. The cartridge was sold at Heritage Auctions’ June 12–13, 2026 Video Games Signature Auction, where it was listed as lot 28003. This fascinating discovery demonstrates how obscure historical artifacts can resurface unexpectedly, transforming forgotten garage-sale finds into genuinely significant pieces of gaming and collecting history.
