The one with the Atari label is an R10 but the TNT label is an R4 so I wouldn't include this game on my list.

I'll add that to the list! Updated list... BEST: R6: The Official Frogger, Tapper, Road Runner R7: Atari Video Cube, Demolition Herby, Up 'n' Down, Shuttle Orbiter R8: Crazy Climber, Boing!, Avalon Hill, Death Trap R9: Rescue Terra I, Quadrun, Q*berts Qubes, Bumper Bash, Cakewalk R10: Music Machine, Mangia, Asterix, Gauntlet CHEAPEST: R6: Pengo, Frogger II, Tapper R7: Demolition Herby R8: Rubik's Cube R9: Quadrun R10: Asterix, Copy Cart

It doesn't even look like there's pictures of the NTSC cart, box, or manual on this site so that makes it even dicier if you aren't careful.

Thanks for the input. And copy cart! Wow, I've never heard of that until just now. That's so cool. I can't believe something like that exists. And yes, I'll stick with NTSC games as there's already more of them than I can ever collect. Updated list... BEST: R6: The Official Frogger, Tapper, Road Runner R7: Atari Video Cube, Demolition Herby, Up 'n' Down, Shuttle Orbiter R8: Crazy Climber, Boing!, Avalon Hill, Death Trap R9: Rescue Terra I, Quadrun, Q*berts Qubes, Bumper Bash, Cakewalk R10: Music Machine, Mangia, Asterix CHEAPEST: R6: Pengo, Frogger II, Tapper R7: Demolition Herby R8: Rubik's Cube R9: Quadrun R10: Asterix*, Copy Cart *I just noticed Asterix has a PAL version that's an R5. I'll leave it on the list since I'm looking at NTSC games. If any game has NTSC label variations of different rarities, I would only consider the least rare option for these lists. I'm not sure I'd pay a premium for the exact same game just because the label is different.

Awesome, thanks! Now I'm starting to have some games to look out for on eBay. Completed auctions show that the BIN prices are too high on most of them. There is a Frogger II with a starting bid of $10 (0 bids, 3 days left) but the label isn't too great. BEST: R6: The Official Frogger, Tapper, Road Runner R7: Atari Video Cube, Demolition Hurby, Up 'n' Down R8: Crazy Climber, Boing! R9: Rescue Terra I, Quadrun, Q*berts Qubes, Bumper Bash, Cakewalk R10: Music Machine, Mangia, Asterix CHEAPEST: R6: Pengo, Frogger II, Tapper R7: R8: R9: R10: Asterix

Awesome, thanks! I checked eBay and there's just BINs for all the cheap R6's mentioned and they're all in the $35 range so I'll probably hold off. So obviously R7-10s will cost more, but what are some of the cheaper ones of those. And now the updated list... BEST: R6: The Official Frogger, Tapper, Road Runner R7: Atari Video Cube, Demolition Hurby, Up 'n' Down R8: Crazy Climber, Boing! R9: Rescue Terra I, Quadrun, Q*berts Qubes, Bumper Bash, Cakewalk R10: Music Machine CHEAPEST: R6: Pengo, Frogger II, Tapper R7: R8: R9: R10:

Thanks! So far it looks like we've got... BEST: R6: R7: Atari Video Cube R8: Crazy Climber R9: Rescue Terra I, Quadrun, Q*berts Qubes, Bumper Bash R10: CHEAPEST: R6: Pengo, Frogger II, Tapper R7: R8: R9: R10: Anyone have some games to fill in the blanks?

I was recently inventorying my video game collection and noticed that even though I have hundreds of games, none of them are rare. I'm not attempting to collect every game out there, but I'd like to get some rarer ones - nothing I have is rarer than an R5 at the moment (Beat 'em and Eat 'em, Crypts of Chaos, and Piece o' Cake). So with that said, what is the cheapest R6, R7, R8, R9, and R10 game out there? While I'm at it, what's the best R6, R7, R8, R9, and R10 game if they were all the same price? For the sake of this discussion, I'm only intersted in Atari 2600 games.

Or what about shipping to Nigeria with Nigerian cash instead of a money order?

Watching. Only once though

Just checked out your list. You obviously put a lot of work into that. I don't collect a lot of Genesis games but I think you're a bit off with the Streets of Rage series. Streets of Rage 3 is much rarer than the other two (hence the $50ish price tag) and should probably be rated differently.

The first two are great. I've never played the third one but it's high on my want list. A CIB copy is fairly expensive so I'm not in a huge hurry to get it.

I'm not sure when I'll get around to buying something, but my next purchase will either be a 5200, 7800, or SMS.

Let's see... Atari 2600 NES SNES N64 Gamecube Wii Genesis Dreamcast PS PS2 PS3 XBOX XBOX360 I guess that's 13 consoles I also have a few handhelds: Gameboy Color GBA DS PSP So 17 consoles/handhelds.

Good video in the sense I enjoyed seeing all the aspects of a system I've never played before. Like most here I'm not a fan of his sidekick in that episode.

Did okay today.... Went to Goodwill and for $9.10 total I got the following SNES games (all loose): Donkey Kong Country Super Mario World Super Mario Kart None of the games were player's choice either.

One of the new games (I think the new Guitar Hero) is going to have "Light My Fire". It's about time they picked that song. Hopefully they get the album cut and not that horrible radio version.

The Guitar Hero: On Tour is for the Nintendo DS and has been released (6/22/08). If you meant Guitar Hero: World Tour (which is for the Wii) that comes out on 10/26.

Wild Gunman Hogan's Alley I've sort of got my mom into video games for the first time and she really likes shooting things. Wikipedia says those games are out on the VC but they aren't. I bought 1,000 points and found out the games weren't for sale so I bought other stuff that I didn't really need/want.

It's on a lot more than that - you can get it in compilations for the PS2, XBOX, and PSP and probably a lot more. If that means it's not exclusive, there are almost 0 good exclusive classic games since all the good ones have been rereleased a billion times.

Hell yeah! Amen to that! All right! There's at least 2 of us! Where's the Eric Clapton? Guitar Hero gave us a Cream song but that's it! I forgot what's on the next one, but we need more Allman Brothers and stuff like that, too. And then there's the Doors. Surely Light My Fire would work (but for the love of god, don't go with the short version!)

It's got to be Microsoft. The first XBOX was around for what, two weeks? Okay a little longer than that, but as soon as everyone had one they moved on. Nintendo would be insane to announce something now - you still can't get a Wii. Sony's systems tend to stay around a while so they've got no reason to change.

I noticed that, too. As I haven't been able to play many videogames due to college, I haven't been actively seeking it but still, it's odd. When I graduate in 3 weeks I'll want this game. Super Smash Bros. Brawl was easy to find right away. Is that stupid wheel the reason this is taking so long? I don't think so. You can buy the wheel anywhere for like, $10. I already have a spare one, just can't get the damn game. I'd say it's like Wii Fit or the system itself... just so massively popular it can't be kept in stock. Even when I went south to the teeny-tiny town of Pauls Valley, OK, and saw a stack of Wiis and Wii Fits ripe for the picking, there were no MKWs to be found. Oh, well so much for that theory. I don't get it though. This game doesn't have that great of reviews. Smash Bros. and numerous other games have better reviews yet this is the one you can't find. I guess anything that's bundled with hardware is hard to find because non-gamers want it. My mom really wants this game and that Link's Crossbow thing. She was going to buy Zelda since she was smart enough to figure out Link is from Zelda but I was able to convince her that RPGs weren't really designed with her in mind - she pretty much quit playing video games with Atari 2600 and still says Galaxian is the greatest game ever made...then again, it is a pretty good game. Well that went all over the place. Sorry.
