I think Staberinde has 2 carts,Marco has a CIB and now Iwan has a CIB,that would make it 4. Edited November 2, 2009 by pangasinan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK it's the third one ever found. Wow! And only 2 of them are boxed??? I think Staberinde has 2 carts,Marco has a CIB and now Iwan has a CIB,that would make it 4. So would 4 known copies turn it to an R9??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Hunter Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) So would 4 known copies turn it to an R9??? In my book it would: <=3 known to exist = R10 I already removed its R10 status from our database. It will literally take a hundred years to give each single VCS game its proper rarity. A game's rarity is depending on format, popularity, region, production numbers, condition, knowledge and finds, therefore constantly fluctuating and thus impossible to catch. IMO it's a complete waste of time to put any energy in determining rarities for VCS games. I marked all released VCS carts of which 3 or less are known to exist with a Rarity 10. It took almost two years to create this list and we're talking about 80 out of almost 8,000 titles here: http://www.atarimania.com/screenshots_games_atari-2600-vcs-p_total-page-step-cartridgerarity_81-1-200-10_2_G.html Each time a fourth cart of a certain R10 title is found, that title will be deleted from the list. Eventually, we will have a small list of true "Holy Grails", which IMO forms the quintessence of the true VCS Rarity Guide: Holy Grails: Almost impossible to get. All others: Possible to get.

Yep, that´s perfect! I am happy to get this title and I don´t care about rarity anway! But having that game boxed feels like owning a R10!

CPUWIZ Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 All others: Possible to get. How many do you think you could obtain, until you either get killed by your maybe wife or break the bank?
