ColecoDan Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 don't have time to answer fully but most of what we consider rarest and hardest titles to get are for CIB and even though the rarity might increase the price of a cart only there really are not too many cart only that are considered hard to find except non commercial carts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manoau2002 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Assuming that you are talking about originally released games Wiz Math and Super Sketch are very rare expensive games especially CIB. But there are also homebrews, and prototype games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 WizMath is definetely the rarest in CIB form and even loose carts of this game are hard to acquire and generally cost about $100. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nanochess Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I can say that loose cartridges technically are widely available if you check in several places Based on my eBay searches, the top rare CIB would be: Aquattack Chuck Norris Donkey Kong Dragonfire Galaxian It's only Rock'n'Roll Jungle Hunt Sir Lancelot Slurpy Threshold Tomarc the Barbarian Up'n'Down Wizard of Id's Wizmath Word Feud 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Some on the Fisher Price titles should be on that list Nanochess.... especially Logic Levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nanochess Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Some on the Fisher Price titles should be on that list Nanochess.... especially Logic Levels. You're right, I took my list of missing titles in my collection and I selected some. I'm still missing Logic Levels. In fact this is my complete missing list and I'm searching for them: 2010 - The Graphic Action Game. Alphabet Zoo Aquattack Blockade Runner Chuck Norris Dance Fantasy Donkey Kong DragonFire Evolution Fortune Builder Galaxian Gateway to Apshai Illusions It's only rock'n'roll Jungle Hunt Logic Levels Mr. Do!'s Castle One on One Basketball Sector Alpha Sir Lancelot Slurpy Smurf: Paint'n'play Workshop. Spy Hunter Star Trek: Strategic Ops Threshold Tomarc the Barbarian Up'n'Down Wizard of Id's Wizmath Word Feud I would expect to get first the less rare ones, but these nevertheless doesn't seem so common or I've been outbidded several time on these.

NIAD Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Looking over that list suggests to me that you better get programming on some new games to help with funding the purchase of all those CIBs when they become available!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymiester Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 /agree That's an expensive list for sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nanochess Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Looking over that list suggests to me that you better get programming on some new games to help with funding the purchase of all those CIBs when they become available!!! Hehehe at least 10 games!!! /agree That's an expensive list for sure! Yesssss, I think it will take me two years, if I can get one or two per month.

Zwackery Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yesssss, I think it will take me two years, if I can get one or two per month. Uh, wow. I suppose if you throw enough cash at your collecting, this might be possible, but if you don't have buckets of money, it might take a long, long time. Like years. Even if you offered insane bounties, some of those are rare enough that owners would really think twice before parting with their copies. And they're rare because they really don't show up with any kind of regularity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he should keep programming but I think he is not working hard enough. I have seen fortune builder a lot on ebay lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been outbidded or someone was faster than me. Sometimes I refrain because of outrageous shipping charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Nano.. you should send Adamcon a PM as I've seen him listing some of the Coleco CIB titles on eBay lately, but don't recall if they sold or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten-four Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 There are 2 more to add: Venture with - "For ColecoVision & ADAM" and Victory with - "ColecoVision Presents" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoDan Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 There are 2 more to add: Venture with - "For ColecoVision & ADAM" and Victory with - "ColecoVision Presents" true, most people are not collecting sticker differences (Note Victory even has different Box for this variation 1 to have been seen exisitng) but those were the hardest for me to find even though they still didn't cost a lot because usually the seller has no idea what he is selling. No i like many others failed to notice when the Victory box was in a group of other games so missed out on it like many others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
