A little brazilian trivia for you: the "CCE" company, at the time, had a bad reputation on its products. A common joke was to tell that "CCE" meant "Comecei Comprando Errado", which roughly translates to "I started buying wrong stuff".

Fuchs is German for fox, and the title of the game "Fuchs & Schweinchen Schlau" means "Fox And Practical Pig" (from the 3 little pigs). As you guessed I'm from Germany. ;) I don't have a German Atari collection, but a complete German Intellivision collection (amongst others).

@John Jalas I mean on the topic of age demographic, the collection of NES and Atari games is so amazing to me as a 14 year old that just started high school. I have my own collection, not big or super expensive (at least for these two consoles) but these are so cool to me. Older games like this are so much cooler to me than someone having a bunch of Xbox 1 or PS4 games. The age demographic for a majority may focus on the next gen but there is still people loving the older ones forever.
