eggplant_casserole Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Someone came into work today, and asked if we had any 2600 games. I had a dig around, but couldn't see any left. The boss asked what I was looking for, I told him and he pointed to a box hidden up on a shelf. I got it down, and let the customer look. As he was doing so, I saw something and nearly screamed - I knew that it was less common than the other tat in there, and I WANTED IT! Fortunately, the guy chose Asteroids, Missile Command and something else, leaving me to buy this..... I see there has been a little discussion on it before. Still, what would you say its rarity is? How often does it turn up for sale, and what does it fetch? I saw that there are no pics in the database (I'd say rarity guide but it only seems to turn up by manufacturer!). If you want one, I'll try and get around to digging out the light tent and taking a good one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxsolo2000 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 It is pretty rare for I have only seen it twice in the wild myself. Rom Hunter can fill you in more on it. Nice find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 It is an X-rated title, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggplant_casserole Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 Yes! I remember having a few carts in, really common stuff though like Pac-Man. What was in the box was all pretty common, too. I have no idea where this came from, as I never saw it before! Thanks for the replies - nice to know I grabbed a bargain! heh.

eggplant_casserole Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 It is an X-rated title, right? Umm, not as far as I'm aware - unless anyone knows differently! The label has a picture of a fireman tackling a fire. And wasn't it called Towering Inferno in the US? I wonder what kinda films you've been watching for a picture of a fireman squirting his hose to be considered X-rated..... Certainly not the original Towering Inferno!!!

Marc Oberhäuser Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Yep, it's the Carrere PAL version of Towering Inferno from US Games and it's quite rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I find it interesting that on the back of the "Infernal Tower" box, they call it "Towering Inferno." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
