I've already got Fire and earth world, I was wondering did
water and air ever come out? I know it was supposed to be a 4 part series but I've never seen the other 2 chapters.

Waterworld came out but it's a rare cart.

Airworld never came out.

have fun getting waterworld it was only given out the the
"Atari Club" memebers so it gets a big price when actually sold.

Indeed. This is usually a US $100+ cart (loose) unless you get lucky. It was released as
the market was falling and the contests had gotten too expensive for Atari to handle. IIRC the Waterworld contest was held and won (the chalice prize long
since sold by the winner) but then Atari cancelled the Airworld contest, much to the chagrin of contestants, and scrapped the series. It is currently
speculated that Airworld hadn't even reached the design phase, much less prototyping, so it doesn't exist in any form except perhaps as some concept art on
paper.

And now is the time to get lucky.

It seems they've been selling for less than $80 US lately, probably due to a combination of
factors. My guess is that it's summertime and sales are always slower. Check out these completed auctions:

I have played Waterworld, It's nothing special just like the
other 2. Not a real investment as for playability on the 2600 but sure is just for it's rarity.
Hope you find one cheap...and if you get 2 of them..I'll
buy one for 20 bucks Wink
