Spirantho Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I know I don't ... exactly how many of us here do? I'm not expecting this to be a much-replied-to topic, somehow.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I have a loose one (looking for the box, if it exists). Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOK-dfa Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I have one too. Also loose (and also looking for the box/manual) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOK-dfa Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Not so many replies indeed. Could this be my first rarity 10 cart Anyway, the DPG7 lists this cart as a rarity 8 with an estimated value of $35. Makes you wonder how much this cart would fetch on ebay...

Whisper Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 I'll take it from you for $35 YOK-dfa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frax Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Is there another PAL Pengo then the black label version? /frax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I have no PAL Version. Is so Rare, that I have buy the NTSC Version, because I want that game. And I know no Silver PAL Version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOK-dfa Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Ok, i found another black label PAL Pengo. So that makes two copies for me now (does that mean i own half of the confirmed-to-exist copies of this game??) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Finally I own a PAL Pengo! (Well, I will do when I've finished paying for it!!) What's the current count of PAL Pengos then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchysuperman Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Never knew this thread existed. I have one (loose, of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 PAL Pengo here too (though a lab loaner version). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staberinde Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Finally I own a PAL Pengo! (Well, I will do when I've finished paying for it!!) What's the current count of PAL Pengos then? WOW, where did you get it from? Is it a new one or did you trade with someone? I think Tom Blair owns one too, as he bought the 1987 re-release on epay.

Spirantho Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 WOW, where did you get it from? Is it a new one or did you trade with someone? A fellow AtariAger sold it me, but I won't say who - that's up to him to say! So we know definitely of 4, and 50% of all known copies are in the YOK-dfa collection. I don't count Lab Loaners, sorry.

Well not anymore actually. I have traded my second copy a long time ago. (somehow i suspect you managed to get that one). Does it have a small black sticker over the text "for use with paddle controllers only"? (Dino is using a picture of my second copy as his avatar. Check that in case of doubt) BTW so far i have been able to track about 6 different copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does indeed have that sticker, though I'm not sure if it's the exact same one (from memory the right hand end of the sticker is peeling off a little on mine, but I'm away from it at the moment!) I think you may be right though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Like most of the Atari, Corp. releases, it takes some work to track this one down, but I don't believe it's rare. There are at least three variants for this particular label: 1986 "use with paddle..." error, 1986 with a black sticker covering that text, and 1987 with the text omitted.

Im trying to gget my head around Pal prices but there is so little information compared to ntsc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Good question. I paid $150 for my lab loaner version, I took it because the chance of getting a "normal" cart seemed so slim. I'd imagine the real thing would be at least that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but there's only about one or two of each type known, so it's still rare. Given how long it's taken me to find one and how few I've seen, and the fact that less people own one than own Air Raid, I'd class it as rare. Oh, and I paid more than $150.

That must be some sort of record. I don't think I've ever seen a single loose PAL cart sell for more than $150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway: it's much rarer than Air Raid and PAL Pengo, that's for sure. And the only Atari 2600 game nobody seems to know how to play exactly...

frax Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I have a PAL Black label Pengo. And yep, it has a black sticker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOK-dfa Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Just found my Pengo cart again (don't ask ) and i noticed it's the variation without the 'for use with paddle controller' text. I was wondering if anyone else has this particular variant? It seems the one with the text is more 'common'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
