CincYnoTi Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 just asking opinions... within any one of the rarity categories, some are more rare, some less than the rest. it seems to me, these are the most difficult to find of the 8s: atari diagnostic cartridge sword of saros survival island guardian on the other hand, quest for quintana roo and robin hood/sir lancelot seem to be the easiest to find among the 8s. i'm only asking about the cartridges (/tapes), not the boxes. it is a lot harder to find any of these with their box than it is just for the loose game.

sku_u Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 I found Guardian in the wild. I would think that the Diagnostic Carts would be hardest to come by given that they were never available commercially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsuinnc Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 (outside of eBay) I have never seen any of them so they all seem equally unobtainable to me. I have noticed, at least in my area, there is really nothing Atari related in the wild anymore. Even my local flea which I built most of my collection from usually doesn't even have commons anymore. (I guess I bought everything). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keir Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 I would think that either the Diagnostic Cart or a tie between the 2 Starpath games. I can't imagine one of those 2 Starpath games being rarer than the other. But then again I don't really know what I'm talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Same here. Even common cartridges are no where to be seen (Someguy must have bought everything Atari wise again). I only things that I ever find are Sega Genesis and Nintendo items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 quest for quintana roo... seem(s) to be the easiest to find among the 8s... Are you talking about the Sunrise version (which is an or the Telegames reissue (which is a 3)? I never see ANYTHING in the wild around here... but in my online explorations I have come across the Telegames version many times but never the Sunrise version.

Diagnostic Cart is the hardest one on that list IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattG/Snyper2099 Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I'd say it goes like this: Most Rare 8 Diagnostic Cart Swords of Saros Surval Island [ALL OTHER 8's] Chase the Chuckwagon Rubik's Cube Least Rare 8 I still need the following rarity 8 carts myself: Chase the Chuckwagon Halloween Diagnostic Cart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincYnoTi Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 I'd say it goes like this: I still need the following rarity 8 carts myself: Chase the Chuckwagon Halloween Diagnostic Cart halloween with the label is rarity=7. if you already have one with the label, you can turn it into the rarity=8, no label version, by removing the label Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never see ANYTHING in the wild around here... but in my online explorations I have come across the Telegames version many times but never the Sunrise version. well, since the topic is about rarity=8 games, the sunrise version is the only version that is rarity=8. there seems to be a glut of the telegames version of quest for QR on ebay right now. it used to sell for $20 or more and now, there are multiple listings with BINs less than $10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
