    Maybe it's the collector side of me, maybe it's the ocd, or perhaps it's a bit of both- I'm wondering if anyone can produce a custom and snug fitting clear plastic case for the sgm box like the ones you can get for cib games. I want to keep the excellent piece of art which is the sgm packaging in mint condition so I can look upon it for many years in all it's glory. When I have a nice minty item, getting slight scratches, nicks, or even dents only noticeable under certain lighting conditions really bums me out. I know, I'm crazy.

    Nice score! I need to work on a strategy for Space Panic, as I am new to that game. I did, however beat my Tapper score again (423,775). I think I could have gotten an even better score, but it was a long game- I was almost late to work. I'm glad you decided to participate. Having to learn new strategies is part of the fun of playing on skill three.

     

    I also heard something intriguing recently, and I wonder if anyone can confirm it. Apparently, cv arcade ports have game play elements or features which are only included on higher difficulty settings. I've got a stack of games to "research!"

    I find many Colecovision games maintain a good balance of difficulty and fun when played at skill level three. I wanted a place to challenge others and to be challenged at level three- no time frame, post whatever game you wish, whenever. If you have a game you are adept at and want to see how you match up against others, let this thread be an informal place to throw down the gauntlet. Post your high score pictures and let the challenge begin!

    So, I have started testing some of these games. I have a couple questions. My Space Fury cart just makes a dissonant chord when I power on the cv. I'm going to try cleaning the contacts, but I was wondering if there are any other tricks to try or if this is a symptom of cart death. My next question- why have I never heard Subroc on the hardest setting is incredibly fun?!

    Then you may want to pick up a second job or have your credit card company raise your limit! icon_smile.gif

    You should refer to NIAD's rarity list for the most "difficult" titles to obtain, but the quick run down for Original US releases (not including homebrew) is:

     

    Aquattack (Currently available at Atari2600.Com for 279.95)

    Motocross Racer (XONOX version)

    Sammy Lightfoot

    Sector Alpha

    Slurpy

    Super Sketch - Sketch Master

    Tomarc the Barbarian

    Tournament Tennis (Imagic)

    Wizmath, The Wizard of Id's

    Word Feud

     

    Those 10 titles alone would cost you roughly $3500. That's assuming they are all CIB and in good shape.

     

    NIAD Disclaimer:

    Estimate is from my observations only.....actual costs may run you higher or lower depending on condition and demand for any particular title at the time of purchase. Game rarity was listed in alphabetical order and does not imply that Aquattack is more difficult to obtain than Word Feud (even tho Word Feud is more difficult to obtain icon_biggrin.gif). These are simply your top 10.

    I have those games cib and near mint minus Aquattack, Super Sketch, Sammy Lightfoot, and Tennis.

    The links provided worked for me but the follow-up pic makes things a lot easier. That's another great pick-up that you made there, but this time around you have acquired a bunch of the more common and therefore easier games to be had in CIB form. From what I can tell of the condition of each box (they look very good) and assuming they include the overlays where appropriate, manuals and a decent condition cart and label, I would estimate the retail value of this lot at $280-$300.

     

    Now aren't you glad you didn't flip all those other ColecoVision CIBs! :D I probably should have tried to talk you into selling them so that I could have had a chance to acquire the handful that I need, but I don't roll that way.

    Thanks for the info yet again! I always appreciate your CV insights and information. I am extremely happy I stuck with my original plans of keeping everything. Getting these great items today helped me realize I wouldn't mind going for a complete set. It is my most complete collection out of all the consoles I have (and the most quickly acquired in only about seven months). I am getting hooked on CV quickly- it's the only system I have bought homebrews for, but I think I need to take a break from purchasing those for now. What are the hardest to find cv games?

    I went browsing on a whim today and found more great stuff than I expected to. I would appreciate any thoughts, opinions, or value estimates anyone would care to share. My cib CV collection is getting stronger by leaps and bounds!
