Is this game really that common to warrant a 2 rating?

Honestly, I believe this game to be rarer than MASH (3). By accident I have acquired 2 boxed complete mash games, but never mega force.

Is it just me?

Nope I think you're right. Mega Force is more like a four. I see M.A.S.H. all the time and it's rating is about right.

Is this thing based off a movie or something? The cover of the manual looks like it has Chuck Norris on it. The whole game premise screams cheesy 80's movie...

Yeah, it was a movie that came out in 82.

IMDB Megaforce

I remember seeing it, but can't remember if I liked it or not.

If the movie was any good there would likely be more carts out there for sure. Definately harder to find than MASH. I've only seen one loose and one boxed in the wild. Probably should be at least a 3, maybe a 4.

Yeah, WAAAAY harder to find than MASH, but still pretty common. I'd say 3 or 4, 4 tops.

The film Megaforce was hyped to be the next Star Wars. It was the "Waterworld" of its day, an embarassingly expensive and public flop for Fox.

I found (and bought) Megaforce on VHS recently, but I've never seen the cart, FWIW. And I have found (and bought) one copy of the MASH cart

Luckly I already have my boxed copy of Megaforce.I agree that it is much harder to come by than MASH.I'm still on the look out for boxed copies of Spacemaster X-7, Crash Dive, Earth Dies Screaming.I've seen them on e(vil)bay, but have not bid agressively enough to win them.
