sku_u Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Gamerzuniverse is pleased to announce the initial launch of the new NES Rarity Guide. Scans, individual game pages and a revamp of the aesthetic look of the guide itself will occur in the upcoming months. Any rarity feedback or contributions would be greatly appreciated and can either be posted in this thread, PMmed to myself or gamerz, emailed to gamerz@gamerzuniverse.net , or posted in the new NES forums at the Gamerzuniverse website. To celebrate this launch, Gamerzuniverse is running a NES fantasy label contest: http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=45499 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 The rarity guide is looking to be pretty accurate, I've got a few minor quibbles, but for the most part it looks right to me. I'm wondering what you based the guide on?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering what you based the guide on?? Several outdated incomplete rarity guides, several auction sites that were being monitored for an extended period of time, and collecting experience.

StanJr Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 ok, cool thanks for the info. Good luck with the site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkeykong1 Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Finally a site with an NES rarity guide. Looks good although some of the ratings seem a bit off though. It's still great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigma Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 i've got a few minor "quibles" too, but it's really good to see a rarity guide like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maibock Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Nice work:) What would be cool is when you get it more refined, you guys can set it up into a database where as you can search by rarity and/or genre(sports,RPG,Fighter etc etc) as well as alphabetically.

tyranthraxus Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 I like it A managed & updated rarity list is exactly what NES collecting needs. I didn't see two of the AD&D games on it. Hillsfar & Pool of Radiance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomtownpizza1971 Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Interesting, I picked up a Bee 52 at a thrift store today for $1.99 and this rarity list has it at an 8 whereas the DP guide has it at 3. I'm relativly new at collecting Nes games, do any you more seasoned Nes collectors have any opinions on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamerz Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 We believe most of the rarities are accuate, but there are some that we would like input on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Oooh! Lucky me! The copy of KING NEPTUNE's ADVENTURE that i picked up at a Gamestop for 99 cents last summer turns out to be a RARITY 7 game!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bratwurst Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 I would temper the Camerica gold and silver carts a little lower in general than what they are listed at currently. The list is also missing the licensed version of Gauntlet. Still, it's nice to see another resource like this pop up, and I agree with many of the listings moreso than others out there.

I'm relativly new at collecting Nes games, do any you more seasoned Nes collectors have any opinions on this? That's an error on my part. It's one of a few I noticed after the site went up. Bee 52 should have been listed at a 5. A few mistakes are bound to happen when entering over 700 rarities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 I can't find Battletoads or Spider-man Revenge of the Sinister Six???? (or the AD&D games already mentioned). enjoying the guides though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamerz Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Battletoads was an oversight on my part, it is there now. Will add the AD&D ones soon. Let me know if you find any more oversights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderman's there, just not under it's full name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyDevil Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 sku_u, do you have an opinion about the rarity of the grey Zeldas? I know they are rarer than the gold versions, just wondering what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted March 7, 2004 Author Share Posted March 7, 2004 sku_u, do you have an opinion about the rarity of the grey Zeldas? I know they are rarer than the gold versions, just wondering what you think. I have Legend of Zelda grey that I picked up at a Gamestop not too long ago for $5.00. I'm not sure on the rarity of these because I have not been tracking them like I was with most of the other carts listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't collect cart and lable variations of NES games, but I consider myself more of a gamer than a collector when it comes to the NES. I do collect VCS label variations, but I'm definitely more of a collector than a gamer when it comes to the VCS. I'm sure that there are plenty of NES collectors out there who do collect cart variations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
