I think this is one of those games whose rarity needs to be changed. It seems to be alot less common than other games that are classified as a rarity 4. I think a 6 is alot more realistic.

I own every rarity 9, 97% complete in the box, I do not own this title. Sure this is a 5? :ponder:

The only thing that I can think of, is at the time it was given its rarity rating it was still available by ordering it through Telegames making it fairly easy to obtain. This is how I picked up my copy. However, apparently not alot of people did this and now that you can no longer order it, I think it deserves a higher rarity rating.

I think I may have witnessed it at a convention once a few years ago, before I realized that I was going to try to catch them all. Nada since.

Gotta be a 5 or 6.

:cool: I remember buying this game at a las vegas convention 3 or 4 years ago. I paid $20 for it at the time and remember thinking man I can't believe I paid that much for this game. Now that it is extremly more rare I am now on the other end and can't believe I paid that much for that game. :D

As someone said a few posts back, ponder that you own something that neither CPUWIZ or I has.

I'm not even that picky - I'd settle for a loose one just to take this off my list forever.

Despite its 4 rarity and the appearance of most other 4 rarities at Cinciclassic, there were no Glacier Patrols at that show. None.

I saw a copy on atari2600.com about six months ago, I remeber it because I had never heard of that game before, All they have is a PAL one now. Looks like I should have picked it up I think it was like twenty bucks.

I don't know if anyone has noticed but Digital Press just raised the rarity of this game from a 3 to an 8. :ponder:
