Atari Hacker Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) What are some rare games in your Atari collection? Rules to having rare games are: They have to have a rarity of at least 5 and name their rarity (With the exception of games released in Europe only) Collectors usually would want them And also, if you can, give a brief story about it's history, and/or how you receives it (optional) Mine are Salu's Acid drop (rarity 4) and Miner 2049er ( Rarity 5) (It's hard when you don't order games off ebay) Now what are yours?

Cebus Capucinis Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I think mine is an R7 or something. Possibly one of the CommaVid titles? Can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Today I sent a picture to Rom Hunter. My cartridge wasn't in his catalog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2600Lives Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Harbor Escape by Panda - R6. Paid .99 cents for it. Swordquest - Waterworld - R9. Paid .99 cents for it. I'm not really into collecting super rares, but when I do find them, I tend to get VERY good deals on them. There is nothing a 2600 collector loves more than a seller that thinks "Oh, it's just an Atari game. Slap a dollar on it and toss it in the bin." Yep, that's exactly what happened with those two acquisitions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 The funny thing is that almost all Brazilian variants haven't a rarity number... Sometimes it seems they're so rare that people don't care about. My cart was a version of Planet Patrol made by Micro Mania. I didn't even know this publisher before, but Rom Hunter had 3 or 4 games of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glossyluv Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 My rarest (so far) is Sammy Lightfoot for the CV which is a R8. As for my Atari it would be Inca Gold which is a R6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but a rare game is not a rare game if it ain't a rare game For example, a loose PAL Mangia is at best a R7 Edited June 3, 2012 by nofrills100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Ah ok for me a cib PAL Mangia is R 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Dunno really, when I started collecting VCS in 1984 my local shops stocked all Spectravision games but Mangia. Never found one, and I bought/hunted VCS games on a daily basis. Even when I lived in the UK for 20 years a Mangia never crossed my path. PAL cib Mangia is bloody rare...
