Recommended Posts

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

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.

WizMath is definetely the rarest in CIB form and even loose carts of this game are hard to acquire and generally cost about $100.

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

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:

  1. 2010 - The Graphic Action Game.
  2. Alphabet Zoo
  3. Aquattack
  4. Blockade Runner
  5. Chuck Norris
  6. Dance Fantasy
  7. Donkey Kong
  8. DragonFire
  9. Evolution
  10. Fortune Builder
  11. Galaxian
  12. Gateway to Apshai
  13. Illusions
  14. It's only rock'n'roll
  15. Jungle Hunt
  16. Logic Levels
  17. Mr. Do!'s Castle
  18. One on One Basketball
  19. Sector Alpha
  20. Sir Lancelot
  21. Slurpy
  22. Smurf: Paint'n'play Workshop.
  23. Spy Hunter
  24. Star Trek: Strategic Ops
  25. Threshold
  26. Tomarc the Barbarian
  27. Up'n'Down
  28. Wizard of Id's Wizmath
  29. 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.

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!!! :P

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.

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.

I've been outbidded or someone was faster than me. Sometimes I refrain because of outrageous shipping charges.

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.
