Official releases only.



Looking at NTSC:

BMX Airmaster
Asterix
Quadrun
Obelix
Gravitar
Crazy Climber
Motorodeo
Ikari Warriors
Swordquest: Waterworld
Rubik's Cube


How would you arrange them?

Time to drop Motorodeo & Ikari off in favor of Gremlins & Pigs in Space?

[Tempest]

Gravitar, WaterWorld and Rubik's Cube aren't all that rare, just pricey.

Top 10 Atari, if you take those off what else would go there? No protos, no Pepsi Invaders, no PAL in the list, and no 3rd party stuff, just Atari.

I'm wondering where people would place Motorodeo & Ikari in terms of rarity, they are still among the rarest, but they could slip down..

Xenophobe & Sentinel are also a pain to get in NTSC format, they could give Atari Video Cube & Rubik's a run for their money.

If you switched to hardest to get boxes, assuming you cheat & buy a couple Pal boxes along the way, they would change around alot. This is how I'd place top hardest boxes Atari:

Quadrun
Crazy Climber
Gravitar
Waterworld
BMX Airmaster
Rubik's Cube
Asterix
Obelix
Motorodeo
Ikari Warriors

I happen to think that Xenophobe nudges out Rubik's and Atari Video Cube in terms of rarity, again just barely in my opinion. Didn't know that Asterix was available in NTSC format, but if it is then it would be number 3 in my list.

1. BMX Airmaster
2. Diagnostic Cartridge
3. Quadrun
4. Obelix
5. Crazy Climber
6. Motorodeo(tentative)
7. Ikari Warriors(tentative)
8. Gravitar
9. Waterworld
10. Xenophobe

not sure if you can count the Diagnostic cartridge.....

[video game addict]

Yeah Asterix definitely exists.

I wasn't counting the diagnostic cart either as it wasn't officially sold. But you have two of them. And you can pick up the one pictured in the database for around $35 I don't know if it counts though.

Take off the Diagnostic Cart and make Asertix number 2 on my list. This game needs to be added to the rarity database as being available in NTSC format. Rubik's Cube comes in 10th on my list now. What is the Othello cart in your picture?

[video game addict]

There's a thread on NTSC Asterix here. There's a few of them out there. Only three found in wild so far though, that I can tell, all rest from Woita.


The Othello is a Signal Tracing Cart or KLUGE cart.

There's probably a Taz cart inside yours

Is it possible to count Asterix as an official release? It may be that a few were found in the wild and that a bunch of boxed copeis were created but that hardly makes it an "official" release....

[video game addict]

I don't believe they were released in the US, only Canada. Which would make them a bitch to find living anywhere here in the US. But if several have turned up now, just like NTSC Puzzy's surely they were sold somewhere. Probably just a matter of time before someone finds a warehouse full of them in the great white above.

something like 3-4 Asterix to 6-7 BMX have been found, neither of those are high numbers, but they had to come from somewhere.
