I'm wondering if this version of Donkey Kong Jr. is rare for the ColecoVision. It's in NTSC format, and strangely enough, it's made by CBS, not Coleco. It also has a manual and a CBS catalog in five different languages.

I'll have a picture soon of this wierd item, maybe then you can tell me something about it.

Over in Europe CBS released the ColecoVision and games. ColecoVision games do not come in NTSC/PAL versions, so all ColecoVisions carts will work in all ColecoVision systems. With the Coleco, PAL/NTSC is defined by the console, not the games.

I have quite a few CBS ColecoVision games in my collection, but not a Donkey Kong Jr. yet. I don't know how rare it is, but all the CBS titles were sold outside the US so they're a bit more difficult to get here.

Sorry, but I don't think it's that rare. I had one of these as a kid, and I see them once and a while around town. I'm not sure why they are in Canada, since Coleco has a lot of their own cartridges here too, but oh well. At most, it's about as rare as a Zellers Atari game I'd expect (Maybe a 4)

It's not fair! Some of you collectors out there have dozens upon dozens of rare games!
