Omnibro Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Sure, Spiker and the like are always tough to come across, but is there anything else (game-wise) that eluded you for way too long, or still does? For me (again aside from the later INTV releases that seem to run away from me all the time), it's frickin' Turbo and the Hong Kong Shark Shark. I can't, for the life of me, find a decently in shape copy of either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Me too I’m still missing the HK Shark bro. Turbo… I would love to get the French Canadian one, if anyone here has one extra-copy to sell just drop me a PM!🙏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+the1hatman Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 The Learning Fun games were the last two I found to complete my 125. I have long been of the opinion that LF II is actually the rarest game as it comes up for auction in CIB form far less than Spiker does. Oddly, I have had the absolute worst luck finding a simple USA version of the PGA Golf manual in decent condition. They never seem to be in mint shape whereas all the rest of my gatefold games have nearly perfect manuals 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psycho Stormtrooper- Rog Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Larning Fun I & Congo Bongo were toughest for me to get a hold of to complete my 125. But that was early 2000s. If my memory is correct, i paid $450 for Congo... which was a crazy amount back then. Now the variants are a whole other ballgame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alevin16 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I lucked out years ago when I came across a guy who was selling his whole collection (which had almost every cart). My lost carts are Quo Vadis, Ghostbusters, and the Red Demo cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cmart604 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Speaking of how awesome Hank is, one of my more notable want list items for years was the Digiplay Pinball, which Hank kindly sold me a few years ago to help me complete my Digiplay collection. Definitely one of the software highlights of my collection and many thanks (and best wishes) go out to Hank. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Steve Jones Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I still need that same Digiplay Pinball, French Canadian Super Cobra, and Spiker which I see on eBay but am too cheap to pay the going rate. There are others but I have no realistic exception of ever getting them (demo carts for example) and I'm ok with that. I do have every home-brew, I got back into the scene at just the right time and never missed a one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnibro Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 Hank helped me out with an II Snafu a while ago at a stupidly reasonable price. Heroic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My goal is to have at least 1 of each cart, so I don't go crazy for variants. What does the Baseball Super Series II look like?

The Super Series Big League Baseball is the Intellivision Inc. variant of World Series Major League Baseball published by Mattel Electronics. Here how it looks like: it’s very rare. PS If you have it and don’t care that much about variants don’t forget that I would be more than happy to buy it!🤠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colormesticky Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I have a ton of stuff that eludes me because it all got hella expensive and I can't just stumble on $6 games at thrift stores anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do miss those days! I should also add my missing homebrews to the elusive items I seem to miss out on all the time... 4-Tris Flintstones Keyboard Fun Ghostbusters Quo Vadis Same Game & Robots (I'm looking for the Intellivoice version) Smurf: Rescue in Gargemmel's Castle Space Cant (I'm looking for the Intellivoice version) Space Invaders Super Mine-Field By my count there are 159* current homebrews either released or announced and on order so only missing 9** is pretty amazing to me. *This number varies depending on what you consider to be a homebrew. 159 is my current definition, I'm not looking to debate this, no one person's count is correct or incorrect. **Meaning having at least one version of each title, ie: any one of the four versions of 4-Tris would check that title off for me. I'm not looking to get every variation. Edited September 1, 2023 by the1hatman Thank's Hank! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intymike Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I think one of the both Learning Fun games was my last missing game of the 125. In the end it was more like how much I would spend on the games. And this is 15 - 25 years ago when prices more then $100 seemed crazy. Of course after that the variations and special stuff were more in focus. And obtaining some rare German stuff took some patience. For now I still missing a European Zaxxon variant and the box of the first Demo cart (from the stuff I really looking after). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gunoz Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) For the original 125, believe it or not the last one for me was River Raid. Took forever to find a nice set of overlays where the printing wasn't badly peeled. My white whale variant is Super Series Big League Baseball, I've just missed out on it so many times over the years. Homebrews, as far as I know it's Smurfs, Quo Vadis, and Ghostbusters.
