Crazy Climber Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 This one is for the serious collectors, out of all the rarest games I have played (reproduction form of course) my favorite is Gauntlet by Answer software, its just a fun game to play. If I were ever to track down any of the super rare games this would be the one for me. My question is who actually owns this game and what is the going rate for this ultra rare gem? Anybody have the instructions as well? And whats the story with the box on this one, I have heard one exsists then I heard it was just flimsy case style packaging. Also any stories about how they were acquired would also be cool. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 $1000 loose or more if it has a real nice label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 $1000 loose or more if it has a real nice label. The last loose one that sold with a label, went for $2300.00, I believe. I missed it by a couple of days, I think Wonder007 got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed it by a couple of days, I think Wonder007 got it. When was that? I purchased one about two months ago for less than that but more than what I paid for Video Jogger/Reflex boxed. (and no, I'm not talking about the loose chips). I don't think I'll be seeking a box for this or Malagai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have anything right now. My digital camera was the victim of a flood. That's why the Eram carts I have aren't in any database yet.

+Wonder007 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 $1000 loose or more if it has a real nice label. The last loose one that sold with a label, went for $2300.00, I believe. I missed it by a couple of days, I think Wonder007 got it. Yes, indeed I did!!! In fact I have the one with the original label and another with the prototype label. I'll post some pics up when I have a chance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegamatrix Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I scored an original prom chip for $100. Kind of a nice piece of history, and as close as I will ever be able to get to a complete cart unless I get real lucky in the wild or on eBay. I can't imagine how much $$$$ a nice CIB copy would go for. Didn't Mindfield score one real cheap a long time ago? I might be putting words in his mouth here. I think he did though.

Lucky Man Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Ah, my young NTSC apprentices Cheers, Marco Wow! You even have a box for Confrontation? Unbelievable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincYnoTi Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I'm going to guess that Confrontation is only the manual. From what I have heard, boxes by Answer were blank on the front with the same copyright/warranty information on the back. To the front, they glued the instructions. So in the photo, you see Malagai and Gauntlet instructions glued to the front of an Answer box. Answer would also mail instructions for upcoming releases to customers on their mailing list. These would have a fold line down the middle of the instructions so they would fit in a mailing envelope. But this company was so small and so few of these games remain, who knows...

Joystick Jolter Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Ah, my young NTSC apprentices Cheers, Marco Like I've said to someone recently. The European crew is buying everything up. And Marco, who I've done business with in the past is one of the eagle eyes over there. I sold a Malagai a couple of years ago and it seems to me, and my memory is not digital so I could be wrong, that the box I sold it with was a little different. Is there a box variant or could I just be wrong. Tony PS: Hi Marco. Is it warming up a little over there yet. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 So was Confrontation actually released or not? I always thought it was prototype only. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) Indeed, no box for Confrontation, just the manual - perhaps I should buy a Malagai box and stick the Confrontation manual to it I've seen four Malagai boxes and as far as I can remember, they looked all the same. @Tony: temperatures went up last week, but tonight we may have a little frost (!) again. Climate is all messed up! @Tempest: hard to say what defines 'released' when talking about Answer (I mean, was the PGP-1 "released", or not?) Cheers, Marco PS: we Euros are buying up all NTSC stuff, to force the Americans to start collecting PAL (YOU WILL LIKE OUR PAL GAMES!)
