Man ya have me loving those v-cases! How do you find them? Are v-cases exclusive to Oz? I'll have to check again and see what the four I have are and do you need any of them, they belong in that collection.

Cheers Fr0st - I'd be keen to see what you have

V-cases came out of Taiwan. There seem to have been a couple of labels that were exclusively distributed out of Australia, and some mostly through Asia, but on the whole they were distributed to most PAL regions in Europe and Australasia. I only have a handful of NTSC vcases.
There are a bunch of cartridges that I see reappear from time to time on ebay and other classifieds sites, but on the whole the majority of the cartridges I've come across I don't see again, - so most of the v-cases are pretty rare.

I need to start collecting V-case games

Do they sell for alot?

They sell for an arm and a leg.
I wouldn't bother collecting them unless you have some serious cash.

Cheers Iwan.

I'll let you know when I have completed them 'sealed in box'

[Fr0st]

Nofrills, you asked me about them before, they're here:

http://www.atariage...._1#entry2118094

Off the top of my head I'm pretty sure they're:

Boxing
Enduro
Football
Bobby is Going Home

Pretty standard titles I'd imagine. Managed to get them off eBay France, think they slipped under the radar. Do you need any of them?

That Boxing cart has the same blue border as Open Sesame.

Nice one.

Now THAT would be a sight to behold!

Are you gunning for CIB or are you happy with them loose?

Definitely settling for loose. - but I would never turn away a CIB.
Considering 50% I have never seen duplicates of, I reckon CIB would be stretching it. Currently about 25% of them are CIB.

While we are on the subject - I'm curious, have you Dino, or anyone else, ever seen the box for one of these funvision v-case cartridges?

Interesting question.

Could very well be that their boxes look the same as the Halley's Comet releases:

Nope, I have never seen a box for that particular V case cart. My guess would be that the box above would not be correct, as all those boxes I have ever seen contain a T handled cart.

I would imagine they are quite generic boxes, maybe even something like this:


But until one surfaces, we dont know....

[nofrills100]

Added 4 more - bringing the current total to 130 unique cartridges.

Many thanks to fr0st for trading them with me

[Rom Hunter]

Nice!

Could you post bigger scans for me?

What are their exact end label titles?

No worries.
I've put some in 'scans for rom'.

[Necron99]

Love these labels!

[high voltage]

maybe most came out unboxed, shrinkwrapped only or blister-pack?
how many V carts are out there?

[BenG76]

Those are very neat looking. Ive never seen one of them before. Nice collection.

[edz9haan9]

Very nice collection!! awesome

[nofrills100]

Added some more.
147 and counting

[nofrills100]

Ending the year with 149 unique carts, couldn't crack the 150 no matter how hard I searched
My goal is to break 200 by Christmas next year.
Anyone got any to trade or sell - let me know
Merry Christmas!

[nofrills100]

Hit the 150 mark!
Optimistic, but if I can get an average of one new V-case a week - I'll crack 200 by next Christmas.
