tyranthraxus Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 The Ikari Warriors thread has brought up a lot of problems with the rarity list. So perhaps now is a time to talk about fixing the out of date stuff. I tried to start a thread in the rarity forum but it got buried under a mountian of 2600 querries. Here are a few of my collecting observations, all are my opinions based on ebay and thrift shop hunting: Alien Brigade-more of a 3 or 4 than a 2 Dark Chambers & Desert Falcon - should both be 2 Food Fight - seems more like a 2 just because I have several copies Kareteka - abundant enough to be a 1, but it could be so common because its just such a bad game no one cares to hold on to it. Robotron - should be a 2 Sentinel - its rare but shows up more than Summer Games on ebay Summer Games - I think it should be a 5 In general I think all of the games that Osheas still has are the games that are true rarity 1s. A handful of the current rarity 1 I think should be upgraded to 2 based on them showing up less frequently on ebay. Thoughts everyone...

+Mitch Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 I brought up this subject with Al a while ago but I can't seem to find the list I made and I don't have time to redo it right now. From a quick glance at your list I think you're on the right track. The biggest rarity change that I think needs to be made is the red end label Ballblazer. From the amount of times that it turns up it should be more like a 3 or 4. Mitch http://atari7800.atari.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyranthraxus Posted December 23, 2002 Author Share Posted December 23, 2002 Yes you are right about the red Ballblazer. Its a 4, possibly a 3. I think a poll of collectors with it would help. But the trick with it is that there are so many MISB Ballblazers that for all we know Oshea may have a 50/50 split! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 The Activision carts seem to be sought after. Don't know if they're dead on or need to be upped, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
