ninermaniac Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I have no luck in finding a game that is called AIR RAID. I have seen before. Blue t-handle cart. From Menavision. You? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theking21083 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 No and the reason why is because it is super rare. It is rated R10 on the rarity scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Keep looking, you may also find Red Sea Crossing while you're at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I'd say Birthday Mania would be the hardest. Do I understand that there has only been 1 unearthed to date? I might be wrong about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Fact is that most people on this board will never run into a rarity 10 game in the wild. Almost any of them are extremely hard to locate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I'm having a hell of a time getting all the Zellers boxed games, does that count? (or will the Canadians just say that I live in the wrong part of north america!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technosis Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 (edited) I'm having a hell of a time getting all the Zellers boxed games, does that count?(or will the Canadians just say that I live in the wrong part of north america!) As a Canadian I have to reply Yeah, they are tough. I do remember though, back in the 90's there was a local flea market that had a whole bunch of Time Warp's and Ocean City Defenders. At the time hardly anyone collected Atari stuff, and the Flea mkt that they were at near Niagara Falls closed up. A few years later the same games showed up at another flea mkt, looking really shabby with lots of wear on the boxes and dog eared corners. I remember picking up about 3 each of the least worn boxed games and trading them on the old RGVAC usenet group.....I think I got a Vectrex Multicart by using these games as part of a larger trade Oh yeah, I've had good luck getting the rare SpectraVideo carts like Bumper Bash but neither myself or any of my collector friends have scored a Mangia' (I did however score an NTSC Assault in the wild.......). So I'd consider Mangia' to be an uber-rare! Edited October 6, 2007 by Technosis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 (edited) I have no luck in finding a game that is called AIR RAID. I have seen before. Blue t-handle cart. From Menavision. You? Out of topic,but i love your avatar,the PHANTASM from BLOOD!AWESOME!Anyway,i was lucky to find a boxed SILVER LABEL GRAVITAR a while back,even though i did find it,its still hard as heck to find one,that was a lucky fluke.Other than that,id say any of the GAME CLUB EXCLUSIVES are hardest to find,like SILVER LABEL GRAVITAR,or company exclusives,like PEPSI INVADERS,ETC,from MY experiences.

MagMax667 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 While they may not be R10, Universal Chaos and Glacier Patrol seem to be extremely rare. Quite a few copies of Boing, Rescue Terra I, Glib and others have come up lately, but these two Telegames carts don't seem to be available from anyone.

ninermaniac Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 I honestly think that Menavision's Air Raid is the hardest. I would love to get Tigervision's River Patrol. I am a strict no nonsense, no aftermarket, type of guy. Original 1970' & 80's. If you got it. Flaunt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxsolo2000 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Go Go Home Monster is the rarest game of all as the cart has never been found yet so it beats all the others hands down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 (edited) I honestly think that Menavision's Air Raid is the hardest.No, it's not. Simply because it's not a one-of-a-kind. These are much harder to get: http://atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?MENU...ERSION_ID=15914 http://atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?MENU...ERSION_ID=18568 http://atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?MENU...ERSION_ID=20276 http://atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?MENU...ERSION_ID=15661 http://atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?MENU...ERSION_ID=19244 http://atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?MENU...ERSION_ID=19243 http://atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?MENU...ERSION_ID=19246 http://atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?MENU...ERSION_ID=20277 http://atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?MENU...ERSION_ID=15501 http://atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?MENU...ERSION_ID=16341 http://atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?MENU...ERSION_ID=19591 Most of them were finished, but never officially released.

2600Lives Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 If it ain't been found, it don't exist. I still think Birthday Mania may have been a one of a kind production promo or something. Come on, only one in existence? Something is not right. Air Raid is immensely difficult to find. You'll NEVER run into one in the wild, and if you happen to, it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg.

ninermaniac Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 I guess Eli's Ladder is not hard to find? Seriously, I am looking for those games that are not repro, aftermarket, homebrew, or basement made games. Games that are easily recognized by the Atari collector. Games that came out during the time when anyone could have got them. Gamed that people at that time didn't think they would be RARE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games that came out during the time when anyone could have got them. Gamed that people at that time didn't think they would be RARE! So far I am keeping an updated list of five rarity 10 games. This is how many carts that have popped up at the moment for each game. I hope this helps a little Air Raid-8 Atlantis II-13 BMX Airmaster Atari(NTSC)-13 Video Life-19 Pepsi Invaders-19 Their are other games I know how many there are as well. Birthday Mania-1 maybe two if the rumor about Jerry Greiner having one is true. Red Sea Crossing-1 Mangia(NTSC)-3 Karate(NTSC)-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psionic Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) I guess Eli's Ladder is not hard to find? Eli's Ladder is an R10 and is very hard to find: http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html...wareLabelID=161 This discussion about rare games has occurred many times before...if you want to know what games are rare, look up the R10s and R9s in the database and you'll get a pretty good idea. A few of those (Ikari Warriors, Motorodeo, Obelix) have dropped in rarity, but the list is mostly accurate. And please stop posting threads in the 2600 forum asking about rare games like Air Raid, River Patrol, etc. and where you can find them...lots of people are looking for these. If you have serious interest in purchasing them, post an ad in the Wanted section and sit back and wait, or go out and prepare to do some serious searching.
