Thomas Jentzsch Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Yok, which two games were pirated for Galaxy Defender and Space Marshall??? Galaxy Defender is apparently Challenge of Nexar - no idea about Space Marshall: even Google doesn't find it! If you have a dump, CloneSpy could help you there.

YOK-dfa Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 If you have a dump, CloneSpy could help you there. At the moment i don't have access to the cart, but when i find it i'll fire it up and see what it is... Raymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOK-dfa Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 OK, uploaded the pictures for a few carts. Unfortunately the quality isnt' that good Cheers, Raymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 OK, I'll put them down as Quelle until we find any evidence to the contrary. If we list non-first/third-party-produced-games-sold-by-Sears with a Sears label/box/manual as "Sears", I guess it's only fair to list Quelle as Quelle (and Zellers as Zellers, and Marpes as Marpes: they're all retail chains that sold games under their own label Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew1810 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Hi, Sorry if you have already answered this (7 pages is a long read!) but have you released a PAL rarity list? Thanks Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOK-dfa Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Nope. We are still working on it and probably will be for a long time to come. But if you want to know the rarity of a game you can always discuss it here Cheers, Raymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Nope. We are still working on it and probably will be for a long time to come. But if you want to know the rarity of a game you can always discuss it here Yeah, then we can argue about it for the next 3 pages. For instance, no-one has added Blackjack! Does Blackjack exist PAL text label? Do none of us have it? I think it exists Picture label, and I was sure it was text label too, but then why isn't it in the database? Surely it must exist (doesn't it??) but maybe it's scarcer than we think... Discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBuff Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 but then why isn't it in the database? Surely it must exist speaking for me i only added games i own so far. I never came across a PAL-version either but haven`t been looking so hard cause i won a complete NTSC one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 [speaking for me i only added games i own so far. I never came across a PAL-version either but haven`t been looking so hard cause i won a complete NTSC one. Exactly the same here. To be honest I never really thought about it, as I have an NTSC one. I suspect that's the case with most of us - and that's what the list is there to highlight, after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBuff Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 i added all my activision pics yesterday and will begin uploading the first atari ones today. how`s the rest of the gang doing? i also saw the adding of ccc--- to the contributors list which is fine as he also has great expertise in the field of PAL atari. @Spirantho man, you make me nervous with your hidden online status Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBuff Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 @Marco thanks for your input on "The Quelle situation" as it would `ve been titled in Pulp Fiction. I really look forward in meeting you and Roloff again in just 2 days. Maybe we have the time to talk things about the rarity list Spirantho and the rest of the gang wouldn`t have anything against it if you and Roloff would help us amateurs out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 The more expertise we have the better - and I suspect that Marco is the most expertised of any of us.... heck, anyone with a complete boxed Video Gems collection has to be some kind of Deity. @Marco: What do you know of Homevision carts - which ones do you have? I'm intrigued by them as they seem very much of an enigma... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozatariprincess Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I am always willing to help out, scanning carts, manuals and boxes. Just let me know where to send them and what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisper Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I think I have uploaded pics of all the rare stuff I have so you guys will be alright by yourselves I guess. I'm currently unemployed and my collection is not growing at the moment for obvious reasons. I have also noticed that some scanned pics (without the end label!) have overwritten the ones I took a LONG time making with my camera, so I'm sort of out of the project. If you guys need a certain pic or info, give me a holler and I'll get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you guys need a certain pic or info, give me a holler and I'll get it. Hmm... OK, will do. I've been sure to only upload pics if the previous pic is non-existant... hopefully we're all doing the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehehe... I'd love to help you guys out, but I know how time consuming this is. Roloff and I put soooooo many hours into the PAL 2600 section of the DPG. It has always been big fun, but other things in life appear to have taken over. Sandy and I have also had plans for a cool PAL list (not a rarity list though), but that too hasn't really materialized because of time and other practical constraints. But who knows, perhaps a good chat at EuroCon will get us on board @Marco: What do you know of Homevision carts - which ones do you have? I'm intrigued by them as they seem very much of an enigma... Homevision is quite the mystery indeed. Games have been found in Belgium, Holland, Australia, Germany (mainly the 'fake' black case versions) and France, AFAIK. I have the following titles in my collection: Base Attack Cosmic War Frisco Lilly Adventure Plate Mania Repro Cart Robot Fight Sky Alien Teddy Apple Topy Wall Break Racing Car Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy and I have also had plans for a cool PAL list (not a rarity list though), but that too hasn't really materialized because of time and other practical constraints. Thanks for the details on Homevision carts... that still leaves a load unaccounted for though! I myself have 4 - Wall Break is on the way to accompany (Fresco/Frisco/Peter Penguin), Car Race and Robot Fight. Every time someone has tried to make a PAL list it seems they've run out of time... which is why I created this initiative. I reckon that between us we can manage, but with just 2 or 3 people on board we'd struggle, there's just sooo much to do. IMHO, though, it's kind of exciting, as I swear there's PAL stuff that we don't know much about (not least Homevision games!). That and it's a good excuse to spend waaay too much on eBay.

AtariBuff Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 @Spirantho please delete picture of "Sky Diver Atari Black Picture" - the correct one isnt scanned yet (i uploaded the text-label in error) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirantho Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 @Spirantho please delete picture of "Sky Diver Atari Black Picture" - the correct one isnt scanned yet (i uploaded the text-label in error) Can do... but if something like that happens it's usually better to just wait until you can upload the real one (which will overwrite the old one). It's pretty clear it's not really a picture label. BTW - I just Pharaoh's Curse on eBay. My first Technovision cart for €15,50 - Yay me!

Homevision always looked very professional to me, not your ordinary pirate company. So it may well be that they are at the base of other companies / subcontractors too.
