i meant UPPERCASE instead of bold in my previous posts

Interesting that my manuals don't have Quelle written on them - even though they were from Quelle.

can you give me a few names, please?

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

Spir,

the manuals even have QUELLE printed to them; its not a sticker. as my memory serves me i have never seen a quelle game sold elsewhere but thats not the point here. someone at Quelle management obviously made a deal with "Mister X" to sell modified games at Quelle stores.

 

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

the boxes even have a legit Quelle order number printed on them so in my opinion it would be unwise to rename it.

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

no, the german spelled sans serif ones were indeed sold in Quelle stores - the bold letter made in taiwan not. so, Quelle / Short is wrong as all carts in there are NOT Quelle ones

 

i suggest

 

Pirates / Quelle

- Pirates / Quelle / Short

+ Pirates / Taiwan Cooper

 

and all wrong carts from Quelle wander to the Taiwan Cooper.

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

yes, there is still a mess in the Quelle directory. i just checked some boxed pirates i have ("Quelle" and "Made in Taiwan") - i suggest to create a Pirate / Taiwan for games like Popeye, Mr. T,... as they have NO indication of Quelle (no number, no price tag BUT the text "Made in Taiwan" on the back of the box) AND they have their name in BOLD letters as the Quelle ones have the names in SansSerif. I have NOT ONE game with a Quelle box which has BOLD letters - so all english named pirates were surely NOT released in Quelle stores!!!!!!!!!!

 

for example: Air Wolf, Cobra 104, Black Hole, Hot Wave, King Arthur are NOT from Quelle

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

uploaded some ( ) Quelle, RainbowVision, Video Game Cart and a few others. i also added a second Activison picture label Freeway.

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

folks, i began uploading pictures (some b&W and color CBS for a start). as i`m scanning them right now it will be a very sloooow process.

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

Yes, its Roloff, better known under Dr. Deleto

He`s also at EuroCon 2004

But he`s not the one I get the game from

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

Spir,

I get it in exactly one week - i keep you guys informed about it (the "got" was wrong )

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

in the attic of my parents place which is actually pretty close to there

in that case i bring some cookies

 

BTT:

i got a game called RECONNAISSANCE from a trade (even the DPG doesn`t have it listed) - any more info?

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

as i am going to EuroCon 2004 in The Hague just send me the keys to your loft and i test them

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

Yok, which two games were pirated for Galaxy Defender and Space Marshall???

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

I've never seen a PAL Skeet Shoot on eBay apart from the one I've got, yet we've all got a copy. At the same time, we've all seen dead rare stuff come and go.

i can`t remember if i got it on eBay or in a trade - but i also have an NTSC one and therefore can determine its origin. i find rarity 7 for it appropriate.

 

Spirantho - maybe you can adapt the database so that changing the rarity once we settled for it can`t be done anymore except you.

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

ok, about rarity:

 

i also have a PAL Skeet Shoot (boxed with instructions) - makes me wonder if it`s really an 8.

 

let`s start with the super-common carts (the 1s) and work up from there with the ratings.

 

we should discuss each carts rarity because i don`t think it`s a good idea that everybody edits the database on his own.

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

okiedokie, as Brazil officially uses the PAL-M standard: is it OK to add the carts to the database?

[Atari Games--Pong Sports, Snoopy, AVC, Custer's, and more!]

PM sent

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

BTW, I had all my carts in an Excel document but started using the Game Collector by Collectorz. A nice little proggy for keeping track of the collection. Maybe also useful to you, HighInf

[Why can't my auctions do this?]

man, you english folks really go crazy about boxed 2600s

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

yes, thats why i`m glad i put my name in the contributors field of all games i own

 

a small status update:

- CBS carts need to be added (black/color)

- Spectravision/video carts need to be added

- Telesys carts need to be added

- look through Quelle carts (standard/short)

- adding ownership to all my carts

[CONDOR ATTACK]

i`m high-bidder at the moment - maybe rudolphy inserted the wrong picture. PAL condor attack by goliath surely isn`t a "holy grail"

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

Also, are Rainbow Vision carts the same as the carts labeled 'Fantastic Game'?

the Rainbow Vision carts have an "SS-" with a number on the front label - i don`t own a game from "Fantastic" so i can`t tell you if they are really Rainbow Vision.

 

You`re right about the different HomeVision carts - Spiranthou will surely correct/add the appropriate label.

 

You will have to wait with Cosmic Swarm when you can test it in person - then you can compare it to the emulator rom.

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

ok, added at about 90% of my pal collection to the list now - do we have a date on which everyone should`ve entered his collection?

[OW! Somebody smashed my Nuts!]

i got it last week but had no chance to test it yet. great packaging and very fast shipping done by bushie

[Who wants to help build the elusive PAL rarity list then?]

@Spirantho

yes, you are absolutely correct - there do exist the one or other Quelle cart in short and standard shape because some of them were also shipped as two games in one box and therefore one cart had to be downsized.

 

@Whisper

yes, I misused the contributor button on some occasion - but i still think that everyone who has the game should be able to have the button available and should enter that information (now that we have more server-space). we could smoothen out wrongly input data and get a nice have-list also.
