What's your rarest game

Recommended Posts

Well, I had a real, legit copy of Coke Wins/Pepsi Invaders that I bought off a buddy in middle school at the time, whose dad worked for Coca-Cola, but I parted with it in a trade with Tempest about 20 years ago, back in the Atari Nexus days. ? Wish I still had that game!

 

Nowadays, I don't really know what my rarest 2600 game would be.. Nothing close to the CW/PI magnitude, that's for sure! ?

I don't really hunt for games based on rarity, but I'm glad we bought these when they were originally released.

These have a rarity rating from 4-8, but based on how much the Rarity 4 Supercharger games go for on ebay ($20-30), I wonder if they should be reclassified as 6, or if the prices on the rarity guide are out of date.

Your rarity here comes from Frogger, Saros, & Survival Island. Those 3 are among the toughest of the set.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Sword of Saros and Survival Island didn't come originally with these cassette tape inserts, right?

AFAIK they were released like this:
http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-sword-of-saros_13627.html
http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-survival-island_13629.html

To my knowledge, no they did not.  I thought the inserts were created afterwards maybe by someone from here.

Yep!

 

Those 2;  Sword of Saros and Survival Island would definitely be my rarest.   Ordered them by mail BITD.
