Balloon Fight Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Great job, but I do have a couple complaints. Mainly I don't agree that Color a Dinosaur is a 9. I think that it is more of a 7 or an 8. I also didn't see Myriad's 6 in 1 cart. Other than that, great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 it is my experience that the grey Zeldas aren't THAT much more rare than the gold ones, maybe they are 3's tops. I've seen several of them, as recently as this week. But then again, I'd be happy if they were rated higher.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draikar Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Zelda 2 gray is more rare then Zelda 2 gold ? I did not think gold or gray are rare at all but i don't care since i have gold and gray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkeykong1 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Are you gonna put label variations in there because there are many? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8nortamilk Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Nice job. AD&D Hillsfar a 4?? I think it's more like a 6,7, or 8. I've never seen one in the wild anywhere. Wait..... Tengen Tetris a 4??? Wasn't this game pulled off the shelves? Isn't it one of the 10-20 rarest games of all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougy76 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Very nice guide! I think the only games that I have strong disagreement over is Bubble Bobble 2 at a 4 and then Rainbow Islands at a 5. I think Bubble Bobble 2 is one of the hardest NES games to find, much harder to find than Rainbow Islands. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't this game pulled off the shelves? Isn't it one of the 10-20 rarest games of all? Tengen Tetris is not as hard to find as some people think. I have come across several over the past year in thrift stores alone. It's definitely not one of the rarest NES games out there. I'll re-check Hillsfar on my spreadsheet when I get home. There were a few errors on the list when it went up (Bee 52 rated an 8 for instance). Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickybaby Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Neat guide and easy to find titles I thought a few games should have been rated higher or lower but most seem about on the mark. If you wanna rate color a dino 9 then that's fine with me,lol, it's actually a cute lil cart, and now the "rarest" game I have. Lately I have been playing thunder an lightning like crazy - it's my newest find. I am sure between all of us at AA we can come up w/ a great list of games to be boosted on that scale. *wink nudge* Now, if only someone could come up w/ a good complete rarity guide for game gear... *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I think a lot of peoples' complaints regarding rarity ratings has to do with regional variations on how hard it is to find old video games in general. What one person finds several times a year in one city, another may never find. One thing I have noticed is that NES games seem a lot more abundant in the United States. I'd love to go to one of these gamestops where Zeldas sell for $5! Anyhow I think that the reason for this is that since there are approximately 10 Americans to every 1 Canadian there would be corresponding numbers of games floating around. I also know there were a lot of titles released in the U.S. that never made it to Canada, but I digress. Finally, regardless of the number of games out there, competition also affects how much stuff is to be found. In Ottawa, a city of approx. 800k citizens, I know there are at least a dozen hardcore collectors I must compete with. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it only takes this many to such the dozen or so good thrift stores dry. Back on topic, I think that the guide is quite good.

JerseyDevil Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Tengen Tetris is not as hard to find as some people think. I have come across several over the past year in thrift stores alone. It's definitely not one of the rarest NES games out there. I definately agree with this. I have bought 3 Tengen Tetris carts in the last 2 years in the wild. I have never seen a Qix, Secret Scout, Flintstones 2 in the wild and I probably never will. The Tengen Tetris has a good story behind it, thats why it sells for more than it should.

I think Bubble Bobble 2 is one of the hardest NES games to find, much harder to find than Rainbow Islands. Just my 2 cents. I think Bubble Bobble 2 is rare but not as rare as some might think. Its harder to find because it is a great game and people hold onto it rather than sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 Has anyone here heard of the NES game Asterix the Gaul? I've never seen it and don't know for sure if it actually exists as a game. Was it a US or non-US release? I was also wondering what the general consensus is on Sachem titles? Does anyone have any information about any of the Australian and European releases?

Tengen Tetris is a whole lot easier to get than Flintstones 2. I'm happy to say I have both Qix and Secret Scout though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Cool, one of the SNES games I wrote is already a 5 in rarity. LOL Doesn't surprise me since only roughly 85000 copies were made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
