sku_u Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I don't think any 5200 or 7800 game is worthy of a 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xot Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Shouldn't the rarities be relative? I mean, saying something is a 1 shouldn't mean that it's easy to find so much as it's easy to find relative to other games. IMO, there should be 1's and 10's by default in every rarity guide - 10 being the rarest game for the system, even if there's five million of them out there; and 1 being the most common even if there's only several thousand of them. I think the Al's mention in the rarity guide that they're not meant to be relative to EACH OTHER; ie, a 1 for the Lynx, for example, is significantly harder to find than a 1 for the 2600.

BBSB gets high prices on Ebay for the same reason Quadrun does. I don't think it is as rare as people think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordofjoshua Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 i think you got it a little closer than the AA list. but Double Dragon has got to be at least a 6 maybe 7, i dont think there are as many of those out there as people might think. also commando should be close to a 6 as well. and what about sentinel, you left it off the list?

holygrailvideogames.com Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 I don't think any 5200 or 7800 game is worthy of a 9. I think that you would have to at least consider Bounty Bob or Meteorites for a rarity 9 status. I have owned Meteorites for 20 years, but I purcharsed it through an ad in the old Electronic Games magazine (I also bought the Vectrex 3d goggles and games from the same issue). Bounty Bob and Meteorites are very very rare. CPUWIZ and myself look through pretty much every decent Atari listing on eBay and I can tell you that those two titles do not show up that often and good luck finding them in the wild.

Mayhem Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 PAL copy is quite easy to find... the list here refers to NTSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 I think you have 'Fight Night' a bit too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 We will probably be posting the new rarity guide after this weekend. If anyone is still interested in participating in the survey then send me a PM. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Al's mention in the rarity guide that they're not meant to be relative to EACH OTHER; ie, a 1 for the Lynx, for example, is significantly harder to find than a 1 for the 2600. I agree that a 2600 "Asteroids" and a 7800 "Asteroids" are nowhere in the same league as each other in terms of ease of finding. Still, I think that it's generally understood that the guides are only meant to be used as a comparison to games in each respective system. I could see how it could be confusing to a noob, however. I don’t know why I even bothered to chime in here, BTW. Xot pretty much said the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambler172 Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Hello I think a 9 is too high for 7800 games.I have all 7800 games,that have been released and it was not too difficult to get them.I think Tank Command is the rarest 7800 game. greetings Walter :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Well if you notice, the only things rated above Tank Command (which I also consider the hardest 7800 game to find) are the monitor and diagnostic carts. You telling me you found them easy to get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari_wizard Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 i agree with about 80% of his list. i can't find many 7800 games in my city. i am still missing chopper command and asteroids, those are rarity one. i can find games that are 4's and 5's for atari 2600 like its nothing.
