Mind Master Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 ...mine's a copy of Survival Island. After that I don't have anything more rare than Threshold and Trick Shot. How about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 It's hard for me to say...Obelix, Boing X2, Glib, Assault, and Rescue Terra I come to mind first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2600 Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 The rarest carts I have I would consider the crown jewels of my collection. These would be: -Threshold CIB Rarity 6 -Spike's Peak/Artillery Duel Rarity 6? Not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmeroid Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Hard to say really - I absolutely love the homebrew & repro stuff that I managed to acquire. Out of the old lists of games? It's a 50/50 split between the CIB copies of Oink! & No Escape (the PAL versions of these are fairly unusual) I waited a few years to own these & the games are great to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I've always thought of MsPacman as my crown jewel.. when you say "crown jewel" who says it has to be rare"? Personally, I judge it if the game is good. I also got a Tapper, and a Mr. Do's Castle amongst some others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.gamer Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Bumper Bash for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smf_4ever Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I am a simple collector right now.. so I guess my best is Track & Field (as far as rare goes..) or my Cuttle Cart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I'm with NE146, HERO and Warlords are my fami... err crown jewels. I have carts that are harder to find but as Lemmy says, "The pleasure is to play..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Tooth Protectors is probably the "crown jewel" although I'm also happy to have Waterworld, Crazy Climber, and Rubik's Cube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONEMAN Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 My crown jewels would have to be the rare ones. Quadrun, Out of Control, Stronghold, Music Machine, River Patrol, Rescue Terra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 My crown jewel is definitely my sealed NTSC 2600 Xenophobe. After that, Gremlins and Frogger II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witchfynde Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Tunnel Runner for me, since it's beyond belief for the 2600 ('course it has that RAM Plus chip to help it out ). People freak when they don't know what a Supercharger is too. And Midnight Magic for blowing away Video Pinball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 For me my crown jewels are the following: StarWars:TAG proto (That I recently aquired plus its an excellent game) Video Cube (That I got for $10 bucks) Track N'Field (That set me back all of 99 cents 2 years ago) SpaceMaster X-7 (Cause its the closest thing to Star Castle we're gonna see on the VCS!)

Tempest Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Mind Maze - A one of a kind prototype Red vs Blue - Tod Frye's football demo River Patrol with manual Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Hmmm... well, rarity-wise, it would be: Quadrun Stronghold Boing! Gravitar (silver) Miner 2049er II Polaris Spy Hunter Frogger II: Threeedeep! Maybe some others, too. Everything is complete, in original boxes. They weren't crown jewels back when I bought 'em. They were just games. Who knew? However, some of the games I think are the best are: Challenge of Nexar Jawbreaker Midnight Magic These stack up well against almost any 2600 game.

Godzilla Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 mine is space master x-7 cause its my fave 2600 game. but rarity wise? prob obleix or quadrun, sword of saros and survival island are nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yar Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 The crown jewels? Yar's Revenge and Warlords "But those aren't rare!" To me, finding a good game that I really enjoy playing is more important to me than finding a rare game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeV0 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Definately Yars, mario and MsPac. My most rares dont seem to be that memorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Rarest - Guardian (w/box and instructions) Chase the Chuckwagon Best games - River Raid, Kaboom, Stampede Rarest games that are actually good - Frogger II, Track and Field (amazing arcade conversion!)

IBP Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Artillery duel/chuck norris superkicks 'cos I have only ever seen one xonox double come up in England and this is it. Pitfall II 'cos it impresses my mum (who's a coder from the days of the BBC) and it's great fun to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 My rarest carts are Gremlins and the "Raiders Lost Ark" version of RotLA. Neither too rare, and while Gremlins is fairly fun, neither gets played much. The real crown jewel is my copy of Yars' Revenge that I've owned since childhood. Why? Well, aside from loving the game, I have restored its label to pristine condition. Back in the day, I wrote my initials on it with a big fat permanent marker, but it happens to have a glossy-enough label that I was able to take some "Oops!" to it and cleanly remove the marker, not harming the label in any way! I guess the other crown jewel is my set of all 9 of the original "text/number" label carts. I just finally got "51 blackjack" last week!

Cassidy Nolen Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Software: Lab Loaner Quadrun that was autorgraphed by Steve Woita Hardware: My childhood 2600 woody 4 swith; I had Nolan Bushnell sign it. It would still be my favorite, but that part is pretty cool, too Cassidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
