Jasoco Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 The GS has two versions of Gauntlet available. The one in the normal NES cart and the one in their black kind. I heard one was more rare? Which was it? And what other Tengen carts are rare? And which are unlicensed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I see copies of both variations frequently, I wouldn't call either of them rare (Tengen Tetris is rarer than Nintendo Tetris, but that's another story). If I had to say one was rarer, I'd say the liscensed carts, only because those show up a little less frequently (not by much, though). Don't know how it is in other parts of the country.

JerseyDevil Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 They both rate a C (uncommon) on Mike Etlers rarity list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Then again, Mike Etler's list is pretty flawed. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaineMaxwell Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Only ones I'm missing in my Tengen collection is Tetris, Toobin, Afterburner and Shinobi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 While Tengen Tetris is rare, it's not a Waterworld. I'm pretty sure I've seen a few in the wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 It can be had for under $30 if you're patient. The local game extortion store however wants $90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 And I'm guessing they've had their copy for awhile? Even Toobin', which is rated a B above, isn't that hard to come by, I've seen a few out there. NES games are generally not as rare or sought after as 2600 games. I'd bet that the rarest NES game isn't as rare as the rarest 2600 game, but then, I don't know what the rarest NES game is (did I say rare enough in that last sentence?).

Jasoco Posted August 9, 2003 Author Share Posted August 9, 2003 My GS seems to have a lot of the more common ones on that list. Still, I'd like to grab what I can. Before "sumguy" comes by wanting NES games now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbid Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 the rarest NES game, is the Nintendo World Championship cart. There were only 27 copies released to the winners of a Nintendo Power Contest, and the finalists of the NWC. Although, there were obviously more carts made for all of the kiosks of for the Powerfest.

Small correction - the finalists got the ultra-rare gold version, but about a hundred people got the gray cart version which still pops on the radar once in a blue moon; I even know of one first-hand reported sighting of one being sold at a secondhand store for a few bucks. Lucky stiff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasoco Posted August 10, 2003 Author Share Posted August 10, 2003 I picked up the Licensed versions of Gauntlet and RBI Baseball today. I have one question. If some Tengen games were licensed, why aren't there ANY Tengen games on Nintendo's official game list? I can understand the unlicensed games, but not even the licensed ones? If Tengen's missing, how do I know others aren't? Is there a real reason they wouldn't put licensed ones on the list? http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads...older_games.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wondered that myself. I assume it's just Nintendo's way of holding a grudge over the whole Tetris debacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyDevil Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Some people have a grudge against Mike Etler, but his list is the original. Here is a link where someone took Etlers rarity list and added prices, most of which seem pretty fair. http://antseezee.sphosting.com/updatedrare.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those games were "officially licensed" products at one point, they stopped being so when the trouble began. For the record, I have the black GAUNTLET cart.
