Any plans on doing a rarity 8 list?

As of today, this is my list of 8s'...

8 - Chase The Chuckwagon
8 - Crazy Climber
8 - Gravitar - Silver Label
8 - Rubik's Cube

[CPUWIZ]

I have all 8's except the diagnostic cart.

[MattyXB]

Boing! (Xonox Case)
Motorodeo (PAL) Listed here as 8
Smurfs Save the Day

PAL:
Boing! (PAL) not sure how Rare this is?
Gas Hog & Master Builder (both PAL), but they are very common as PAL.
Quest for Quintana Roo (PAL) with strange lable. On lable stand Sunrise and Telegames.

Crazy Climber

I was offered this game for $60. I was wondering if this is a fair price and whether or not the game cart is any good. I played the ROM, but it was so choppy that I couldn't get a good idea about gameplay or graphics.

[Ed Siegler]

For $60, I'd snatch it up. The game is alot smoother than the ROM.

[Keir]

I have but one 8 and it is my rarest game.

Death Trap

I was actually thinking 8 seemed high, but I'd be interested to see what 8's other people have. Only 2 Death Traps in this thread so far. I got mine at a thrift store for $1.99.

oops... I missed your post because it was so short! I guess there are 3 Death Traps.

$40 is still a good price, especially for a mint label. Avalon Hill carts have notoriously bad labels (including mine).

I'm not complaining TOO much. I have really nice copies of Wall Ball, Death Trap and Shuttle Orbiter - all I need now is London Blitz to be a really happy camper.

MIB? That'll probably go too high for my blood. I'd settle for loose.

[Robert M]

Just Boing in the wierd shaped cartridge.

[CPUWIZ]

When my latest deal arrives, I will have all 8's, anyone got any extra boxes for rarity 8 carts ?

[CincYnoTi]

what do you guys think about the version of halloween with no label? i have had several with label, but never considered removing one of the labels so that i could have a version with no label

i collect label variations, but this is about the only exception where i'm not looking to get a variation i do not have. i always think that i already have one without a label, it's just underneath the one i have with a label

hmm, maybe i should start removing labels for other games and sell them on ebay as "unbelievebly rare, not listed in any rarity guides!!! could be a proto, unreleased version!!!"

They are indeed identical, I opened a broken one with label and compared them, not really such a big deal if you ask me.

[Waggie]

I have all NTSC 8's except:

Halloween
Diagnostic Cartridge
Sword of Saros

[MikeD]

Since there are fewer 8's than 9's does that mean 8' are more rare than 9's??

[MundoCool]

Well I have some 8's and 9's like

Crazy Climber
Quadrun

But.. in this page I don't see this Games

SUPER COCINERO
DECATLON

This two carts are in spanish labels and I don't know the rarity... Who's the person that I can send the pitures o photos about that 2 carts? Who can tell me the rarity about this?

Viva Mexico!!!

[as_the_gavel_falls]

Wow, I didn't notice NTSC Quest for Quintana Roo was that rare. I thought it was like a 5, good thing I never put it on the site.... I have two of these MIB, I guess I will take better care of them now
