Lightly used game.  Pleiades will only work on the Atari 2600+ and 7800+.  Will NOT work on an original 2600.

 

From Atariprotos: "Unbeknownst to most people, the arcade mega-hit Phoenix had a sequel. And even though it didn't enjoy the same success as its predecessor, Pleiades remains a favorite with classic gamers today. Unfortunately, the only home port of Pleiades was for an obscure system called the Arcadia 2001, and that version wasn't even released in the U.S.! It appears that UA Ltd. was going to break into the 2600 market with ports of their Arcadia 2001 games. For those not in the know, the Arcadia 2001 was an obscure home game system released in 1982. To say that the Arcadia 2001 didn't take the market by storm would be an understatement, but it was much more popular overseas where dozens of different clones were marketed. However, due to the video game crash UA decided not release any of their games, either in the US or in Europe. Had it been released, the 2600 version would have been most peoples first glimpse at this lost gem.Pleiades is an intense four stage space shooter, but with a few twists.

 

Although the 2600 may only have three of the four levels (the space vulture level is absent most likely due to space constraints), the gameplay remains true to its arcade counterpart. While it may not have been the most original game out there, Pleiades is still a fun little shooter even if most of the ideas are recycled from other games.

 

It's a shame that Pleiades was never released, because the 2600 version actually does the original justice (a rarity for most 2600 coin-op ports). Out of the three UA Ltd. games known to exist, Pleiades is the best of the lot. With more games like Pleiades under their belt, UA might have had a fair chance to succeed in the highly volatile 2600 market."
