I pretty much look every day on ebay for NTSC Double Dragon carts for the 2600, and I've got to say, I see more Xenophobes. The PAL version comes up very often (I think it should be rated at least a 3), but the NTSC one is rather difficult to find, and I've NEVER seen one in the wild. Anyone else think this should be upped one?

I practically NEVER agree when people suggest something is more rare than its AtariAge rarity assignment. But in this case, after careful consideration, I have to agree with you. I say that Double Dragon ought to be a 5.

Don't know, I have only the PAL and HES version. I most collect no NTSC games. Only from my favourites.

The PAL version is almost always on ebay, especially the HES one. I don't see Salu as much, though it comes up frequently enough.

How can your auction claim that your Double Dragon is in "absolute MINT condition" when the label is torn in two places to expose the screws that hold the cart case together?

I'm positive that Activision did not ship them that way. My copy of the game has a complete label.

I have a sealed NTSC copy of Double Dragon but it took a lot of looking on ebay till I found it.

Well, that's two "Ayes" for increasing the Double Dragon rating. Anyone else have a comment?

Alex,

here's the two answers I got when I posted it in the 2600 forum, so I guess that's two more:

Double Dragon

Thanks for the new rarity, Alex/Albert. That's much closer.

The black label Activision carts are getting harder to find in general--I patiently waited to get a good label copy of Ghostbusters on ebay a few weeks ago.I got the rest about ten months ago==just more people going after them carts now...
