Title: Your rarest NES games? Post by: Izret101 on January 23, 2005, 06:23:54 AM I decided to check out the Nintendo Legacy forums again and there was a thread up about peoples rarest NES games.
The accuracy didn't seem THAT bad but it was missing some titles and whoever wrote it reworded and/or changed some game titles. link to guide - http://www.videogameconnections.com/nesrare.txt Link to forum - http://forums.nintendo.com/nintendo/board/message?board.id=legacy&message.id=39447&view=by_date_ascending&page=1 I decided i would look over the rarity guide the kid linked to and according to that rarity guide my games are Rocky and Bullwinkle Rarity B- (complete) American Gladiators Rarity B- (no manual) Bee 52 Rarity B+ (sealed) Black Bass Rarity B (cart only) City Connection Rarity B (complete) Crystal Mines Rarity B+ (complete) Dudes with Attitude Rarity B+ (cart only) Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy Rarity B- (complete) Laser Invasion Rarity B- (complete) NES Open Golf Tournement Rarity B- (complete) Nightmare on Elm Street Rarity B (cart only) Pac-Man Tengen Liscensed B- (cart only) PinBot Rarity B (no manual) Sesame Street 123/ABC Rarity B (cart only) Simpsons Bart vs. the World Rarity B- (cart only) Starship Hector Rarity B- (cart only) Super Jeaopardy Rarity B (complete) Venice Beach Volley Ball Rarity A- (complete) Wizardry Knight of Diamonds Rarity B+ (complete) Xenophobe Rarity B-(complete) Zodas Revenge: Star Tropics 2 Rarity B- (complete) Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: captain_nintendo on January 23, 2005, 08:44:40 AM I dont know about these a and b rating crap ::)
But according to another web site ;) I will list my top 3 and you can guess the rarity. Caltron 6 in 1 (complete) Cheetahmen 2 (factory sealed) Flintstones2 Surprise at Dinosaur Peak (box and game) others : Pro Sports Hockey (complete) Race America (Box and game) 2 complete copies of Dragon Warrior 4 Tengen Tetris (loose) ........... too many others to list :-/ Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: Tynstar on January 23, 2005, 09:19:49 AM Super Marios Bros /Duck Hunt multi cart.
Pro Sports Hockey Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: Izret101 on January 23, 2005, 09:44:52 AM The letter rating is similair to the number rating except it goes into more unnecessary details.
Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on January 23, 2005, 02:35:14 PM I want bubble bath babes.
The rarest game from my miniscule collection was a tie between Pirates! and Contra force at B. It seems kinda weird that contra force was that rare, also Slalom was B-, I thought everyone had Slalom. Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: captain_nintendo on January 23, 2005, 03:58:47 PM I forgot to list Contra force (with box)
I have the box,manual and map for pirates. I need to buy a loose copy from ebay now :P Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: Sauza12 on January 24, 2005, 07:13:18 AM I don't have too many rare games for NES, but my rarest is probably Dragon Warrior 4.
That rarity guide seems to be off. There is no way that most of those games are anywhere near rare. Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: Antimind on January 24, 2005, 07:31:44 AM I have a bunch that are 6's according to a certain guide. I don't have a full list of "rare" games offhand but some of the ones that come to mind:
Color A Dinosaur Pro Sport Hockey Puzznic Space Shuttle Project Tiny Toons Cartoon Workshop I have too damn many games to make a list. Nothing that I'd consider a real rarity though. Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: Izret101 on January 24, 2005, 08:19:40 AM I need to go out and get one of the "Official" guides if not now soon.
That way i can figure out how rare my stuff really is. Title: Re: Your rarest NES games?

Why dont you just use the online guide until then ? Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: Izret101 on January 24, 2005, 10:57:44 AM I use it a bit but would prefer a hard copy. I can't take my internet with me.

Print it out in the mean time then ??? Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: Tynstar on January 24, 2005, 02:10:15 PM Quote Print it out in the mean time then ??? The list is not very printer friendly. Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: NESJunkie on January 24, 2005, 05:50:00 PM I agree with Anti here, I have too many games to check them all, I hae the Maxi 15 pack complete and a sealed Cheetahmen 2 a couple copies of tengen tetris that color a dinosaur i have boxed, oh hell im not looking any more.
Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: Tynstar on January 24, 2005, 07:41:02 PM Quote couple copies of tengen tetris Got an extra box or manual by chance :P Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: captain_nintendo on January 25, 2005, 03:26:53 AM Color a Dinosaur .... I forgot that one. I have a factory sealed copy. :P
Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: den68 on January 25, 2005, 05:25:06 AM I've got nothing all that rare. I quickly browsed the DP guide and I've got a few 6's. DK Jr. Math, Dragon Warrior IV, Kid Klown, Puzznic and a few others. I saw one 7 that I have, Qix. that one I have complete.
Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: jasonegitto on January 25, 2005, 06:34:29 PM Acording to my Video Game Collector mag, my most expensive game is Dragon Warrior IV, at $45 loose.
I dont know which is the rarest, but that might accually be it. Oh yeah, I bought that game for $2 off of one of my friends. Title: Re: Your rarest NES games?

The DW 4 However is free , but the shipping will be 85 dollars ;) Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: Tynstar on January 26, 2005, 07:08:38 AM Quote That reminds me.

Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on January 26, 2005, 10:13:11 AM I sold a loose Final Fantasy for thirty bucks once. At the time I thought: "Wow...that must have been a really rare game." But then I found it for 5.99 at a flea market. So, instead of looking i'll ask. What's Final Fantasy worth?
Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: Izret101 on January 26, 2005, 10:36:30 AM If anyone tells him i will be very angry. Make him find it himself.
As for you guys with Dragon Warrior sweet deal. I have actually been passing up a Tengen Tetris for quite some time now but the box is so mangled i really don't want it. Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: Sauza12 on January 26, 2005, 11:52:20 AM @Izret First of all your mean. Why not let him know what it's worth? I'm gonna tell him. |D But depending on the price, you might want to pick it up even if it does have the mangled box. Loose that game can go as high as $40.
@Leon ........More than 5.99, but less than 30. I'd tell you more, but I fear Izrets wrath. Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: den68 on January 26, 2005, 12:02:45 PM I got my Final Fantasy for 50 cents.
Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: den68 on January 26, 2005, 12:03:17 PM Quote I got my Final Fantasy for 50 cents. wow that sounds like I paid a visit to a cheap whore. Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: Izret101 on January 26, 2005, 12:12:19 PM LOL
After coughing for like 2 minutes because i am getting over a cold i was able to type that Title: Re: Your rarest NES games?

But then I found it for 5.99 at a flea market. So, instead of looking i'll ask. What's Final Fantasy worth? like 12 dollars loose is what I normally see. But it rings up at like 28 - 30 at EB Games :-/ Complete I have seen them on ebay go for 25 - 50.... Hey Izret :P wrath this :laugh: Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: Izret101 on January 26, 2005, 12:57:01 PM Nah i didn't mean don''t let him know the price. But you should have at least made him find it online.
The place i shop had a sealed FF and a guy asked the price on it The owner said $100 Without blinking the guy opened up his wallet and dropped 5 $20s. I am sure the owner would have let it go for 20-30 bucks if the guy realised he was joking. Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: Sauza12 on January 27, 2005, 05:54:38 AM I don't know, I have seen some insane prices for sealed Final Fantasy. I'm talking near $500.
Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: Izret101 on January 27, 2005, 11:04:58 AM Wow....
That is insane. A complete copy only goes for like 50 tops (from what i have seen) Thats why i luvs me a sealed game |D Title: Re: Your rarest NES games? Post by: den68 on January 28, 2005, 05:16:14 AM Quote I don't know, I have seen some insane prices for sealed Final Fantasy.  I'm talking near $500. that's just crazy. I have no interest in sealed games. I enjoy this collection because I can play every game in it if I want to. I prefer to have the box and manuals if possible but I'm not keeping anything sealed. especially if it's a game I don't have. I've got a lot of action figures and Hot Wheels so I get the Mint in Box thing I'm just not following that philosophy in my game collection. Title: Re: Your rarest NES games?

The whole point of collecting games is so you can play them. I don't get collecting sealed games. Title: Re: Your rarest NES games?

I have a few factory sealed games , but I would rather have them open. However I probably wont be opening my factory sealed Cheetahmen 2 any time soon. :P Title: Re: Your rarest NES games?
