projectmario Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I just came across these and can't really find any info on them at all.

Trebor Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The NTSC counterparts in PAL lands are HES/Salu variations along with standard PAL. I believe all the Absolute and Activision third party ports can be found in HES and Salu varieties. Coincidentally, both titles (1x Kung-Fu Master, 2x Super Skateboardin') are being sold by "General Zod", currently as you described, for $200+ on eBay for the NTSC versions. There is one other copy of Super Skateboardin' being sold for just under $200. Neither (NTSC) games are worth anywhere near there, IMHO. I wouldn't consider it "average going price"; rather, a very inflationary price. However, if someone is willing to pay such prices, have at it. This NIB Super Skateboardin' which sold for $49.99 in April is more like it.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-7800-Rare-Super-Skateboardin-Absolute-Entertainment-NIB-Sealed-/281670434741?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4194ddbfb5 ...As would be this NIB copy of Kung-Fu Master, which also sold just a few weeks ago in April, for $39.99: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kung-Fu-Master-Atari-7800-1989-Brand-New-sealed-Mint-condition-NR-/141637371908?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20fa3ec804 $40 would be on the low end - $60 would be "average" from my perspective for NTSC. If someone was desperate enough, I could see up to $80 for NIB and mint. That's where I would personally draw the line, if I wanted it that badly. It would be a very impatient and dumb move by me though. $100+, and better yet $200+ for NTSC... HES/Salu variations though...Absolutely, I can see that...Don't know if an "average" could even be determined, going on how rarely I've seen them made available for purchase. If you're looking just for more info on the games overall in the way of manual, snap shots, etc... Kung-Fu Master Super Skateboardin' On a scale of 'Excellent -- Good -- Fair -- Poor', both games to me rate as Fair. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 If you say HES here, I take it both of them come in the plastic clamshell cases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 If you say HES here, I take it both of them come in the plastic clamshell cases? Correct. HES releases come in plastic clamshell cases with the instruction either on the inner slick or a separate paper. Salu releases are in a cardboard box with separate instructions printed.

Mayhem Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Heh, oh I know that (I own all but one of the 14 releases in question!), it was directed towards the OP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Nice work Now if you can direct me towards a Salu F18 CIB, that would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Heh, oh I know that (I own all but one of the 14 releases in question!), it was directed towards the OP Hi Guys i own them all Very cool, gents. If one of you could please be so kind and clear something up for me then. I was under the impression that the variations - both HES and Salu were for all Absolute and Activision titles: Absolute: Baseball F-18 Hornet Kung-Fu Master Super Skateboardin' Title Match Pro Wrestling Tomcat: The F-14 Fighter Simulator Activision: Double Dragon Rampage With only 14, I'm presuming one of the titles are excluded or/and perhaps one or more titles were HES or Salu only, as there are 8 titles listed above, and I thought therefore it meant a total of 16 available. Could a definitive list of what's available please be posted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Rampage was not release in PAL format. Mitch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Rampage was not release in PAL format. Mitch Thank you. Makes sense, I should have checked the ROM list first. Didn't even think of games being completely excluded from PAL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambler172 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hi Trebor The PAL versions,do not have any ACTIVISION on the box or in the manual.... They only say HES or SALU all rights reserved by HES..,SALU hope this helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 It's kinda offensive how much money people are throwing down on the krappiest 7800 licensed games just for the sake of collecting. Spend that money on home brews and home brew projects instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
