At4ri Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Reading another post about label variations prompted this question....I recently acquired a frogger cart which is listed on this site as Taiwan Cooper label. Ne1 know if this is rare? (obviously more so than the standard Parker Bros one, but not sure if it was a daft purchase!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Not so Rare I think. You find often pirate games on eBay.de or some other PAL countries. I own one pirate Frogger game from Pet Boat, but this is real Freeway. They have called it Frogger, because gameplay is near the same as Frogger.

At4ri Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 Thanks for the reply, makes me wonder if the person i got it off knew that....question is...could i sell it off on ebay as Frogger?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I suppose you could sell it as Frogger, but that would actually be a bad idea. Frogger is MEGA MEGA common. If you list it as the pirate that it is, it might draw more interest from someone just getting into pirated games and that area of collecting.

MattyXB Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Yes, I most not look at common games. So better list it as Pirate Frogger Taiwan or something like that. Thats for collectors better and you will get more money. I think most listed games wrong, and noone looked at them, or you miss some Prototypes or pirate games, because they listed only the gamename.

Xot Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 LMK if you decide to sell it. I'm into that whole pirate games thing. But they aren't all that hard to find. IMO it's not worth much more than $5-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

video game addict Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I have clicked the link before too. I still have nightmares of that car. Seriously, I could just imagine going to yard sales and once the people see what I'm driving, quickly remove the $5 price off the Atari & 50 games, telling me they've heard how "collectible" & "rare" these are now, and offer me a real deal @ $75.

Most of the time it works the opposite way. A lot of people have asked me if I work for Atari. But they tend to accept my word as an "authority" on what the stuff is worth. I've had people stop me and ask if the old Atari they have in the closet is worth anything, and offer to sell it to me. Unfortunately there hasn't been any great finds this way... but a lot of cheap (and sometimes free) commons, usually. I mean really, if they guy with the Atari car won't even give you $5 for your copy of Pac-Man, it's probably not worth much, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I wonder if there's a connection with low riders and the half naked chicks painted all over them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
