Yes vote! ... I'm only aware of this game by seeing score submissions for it here on highscore.com. Is it a US only release? Maybe I just missed out on it so far...

I ckecked the Atari Mania site. Lost Luggage was released in Europe by Apollo/Games by Apollo in PAL. It was also released in France as La Valise Piégée by RCA Video Jeux in PAL. So it's out there in Europe. According to Atari Age's Rarity Guide the North American release is rated a 4, meaning Scarce+

I went onto eBay and found a PAL cartridge for sale for 8.98 Euros. By Apollo with a blue label. In North America it typically goes for $9-12 for a loose cartridge with a blue label. The green label version typically goes for more, but that's in North America. I don't know if there were any European releases with the green label. Anyway, Here's the one for sale in Germany:

Mark, many thanks for your research! It's available in PAL then! I just missed out on it so far! ... I like the rarity guide on atariage.com. I recently started to submit scores in the site's Atari 2600 High Score Club and looking to get more active there. I was thinking of writing a review of a game or something like it. I still need time to find my way around there though. Have you checked the HSC? The new season is starting soon and it would be great to have you there!

Yes, I've checked out the HSC. I've also written some reviews at Atari Age.
