Rom Hunter Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 There's also a Q*bert known. Weird carts indeed. Video Spelcassette is written in Dutch, but the label says Made in Japan. But since the carts are PAL and not NTSC (Japanese format), I consider them to be Dutch carts. Maybe Marco can tell us more about these.

Marco Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I have no idea what the story behind these games is, quite an oddity they are indeed! Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Ok, all three R10. Next? No carts from Brazil or Argentina, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I dare say nothing from South America is ultra rare. There are 225 million people in Brazil and Argentina, and it sometimes seems all of them started a Atari 2600 pirating company at some point in time PAL R10 companies may include: Datatech Hot Shot multi's (?) Sawaya Scala Shagora Spectravideo PictureMate (tape) (?) Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I think what Marco is trying to say is that apart from those companies above, there really aren't any other PAL R10s.

Nobody in the old era made just three carts of one single game. But at least we now have a nice Extremely Rare PAL Games list: http://atarimania.com/lst_soft.php?MENU=2&...n_sauver=Search Ok, we're done. Thank you for your cooperation.

Ah, the old arguement of what defines rarity. What if I made 100,000 carts and all but one got destroyed in a fire at the factory. Is that a R5 or R10?

I would say R10 since there is (at this moment) only 1 existing copy. BTW what about my PAL Custer's Revenge? Shouldn't that be on the R10 list too or have more copies surfaced lately?

Not mine,cause i live in PAL country Mine does, and I live in PAL country. But the label is clearly PAL. As for rarity, there are more than 3 out there that I have seen. I can't say exactly who has them as I have only seen them sell on Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOK-dfa Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Mine does, and I live in PAL country. But the label is clearly PAL. Hmm interesting, mine doesn't roll and i'm pretty sure my old TV doesn't do anything else besides PAL... Anyway, just came here to mention that i managed to grab a Jungle Fever / Knight on the Town PAL double-ender. Is that one still considered a R10? I am quite happy with it, although i missed out on the boxed Surfer's Paradise and Treasure Below a few days earlier (did anyone from here manage to grab those)?

FND Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Reading this thread jogged my memory and rememberd I had this game, doing a short search I found it safely tucked away, check Atarimania but did not see a rarity number , do we have a rarity associated with this one Thanks FND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R10? I had no idea it could be that high, Wow. Checking my records looks like I got it from Australia sometime prior to 2002 (thats when I started adding purchase dates) paid 75.00 Seller is still active on ebay but looks like he is now collecting vintage vinyl records, may be worth asking if he may have run across others?
