Ross PK Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Mine is Journey To The Planets on tape, it get's a 9/10 rarity rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickled_Pink Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 My rarest item isn't a game. I doubt I have any rare games. But I'd give my PL65 disk an 11/10 rarity rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 There's an A8 rarity guide? I have a lot of sought after CIB titles, wouldn't know the rarity though. Maybe Jupiter 1999, Universe ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbrad Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 My rarest is my BBSB cart. The DP guide has a A8 (XE) cart rarity guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a8isa1 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Mine is Journey To The Planets on tape, it get's a 9/10 rarity rating. Don't own many games, just a handfull, but I would guess that Galactic Chase by Spectrum Computers (tape) and Shooting Gallery by Analog Software (also tape) would be pretty rare. - Steve Sheppard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 My rarest is my BBSB cart. The DP guide has a A8 (XE) cart rarity guide. Ah yeah, the carts. I have I dunno, maybe 60-70 but they barely register on my scale of software for the A8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmel_andrews Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) I was told that 'cygnus x1' a tape prog by Atari only received limited distribution (or that atari only sold v. few units) I sold my one to an AA/AM member cygnus x1 was basically a v. poor 'buck rogers' clone Also, although 'Thunderfox' was listed on silica shop's free catalog as being available on cartridge, according to the main programmer of 'thunderfox', who i knew personally, Atari never 'officially' released a cartridge version of thunderfox in the UK, mainly europe and the US only (I did have a tape versionof thunderfox...and i was told that he also engaged in an st version of his first a8 game 'sidewinder' called 'sidewinder 68000' i don't know if he got it published/released or not) Edited April 20, 2006 by carmel_andrews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboot Jack Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Thunderfox DID recieve a UK release on cart, I know I both own a UK copy and sold the item at retail when it was released... Most rare items I own are my author signed EA LP games (Archon, Mule, PCS, Worms, Murder on the Zinderneuf)... sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrodegang Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 There's an A8 rarity guide? Check Atarimania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tork110 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I have Bounty Bob Strikes Back, Castle Hassle, and Journey to the Planet. Sadly, the Bounty Bob cartridge overheats quickly, so I have to use emulators for that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I don't know if this is rare, but I used to have a strange Battlezone clone that came on disk and cartridge. No, not disk or cart-- disk AND cart. I suspect the cart just acted as a dongle. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highendsystems Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I would have to say the 'rarest' that I "had" would be Rosens Brigade on tape, it was sorta a variation of River Raid. I've noticed that many Atarians mention Journey to the Planets on tape, I only ever saw it on cart. I've also seen posts about it having a different ending. As I remember, on the last planet which does have two toned earthly colors, there were other "Tie-Fighter" ships docked, and you had to land on the last available pad. Another one I consider rare because I didn't know about till I joined this Forum is Tail of Beta Larae(sp?). Hey Ross PK -- save me a bowl and I'll tell ya how to get the CandleBra on JTP's ....hehe, couldn't resist.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a disk-based game, with a cart that added some arithmetic functionality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Rice Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) James Bond 007 Cart The Halley Project. I have to find the box and even the Certificate I got for finishing. Napoleon at Waterloo CIB Kentek version Napoleon in Russia NIB Wizard's Crown CIB Combat Leader CIB Phantasie CIB Hacker CIB Mail order Monsters Racing destruction set Ultima 3 Rescue on Fratalus! flippy w/ C64 Ballblazer flippy w/ C64 Pitstop flippy w/ C64 Temple of Apshai Trilogy Super Huey Miner 2049er silver label Party Quiz game I have to find my controllers 2x Touchdown Football Bruce Lee Datasoft flippy with C64 version Pole Position Datasoft flippy with C64 version Zaxxon cart by SEGA Combat Chess I love to play this game. Monster Smash and Round About by Datamost I threw away the box for MS when I was a kid and kept Round About This is probably the most rare one I have Space Games by Educational Software These rare games were basicly bargain bin items. They were dirt cheap because most sucked. I remember getting most at Kaybee's, TRU, Service Merchandise, and Consumer's Distributing in Cali. Most were under $5 when I got them. I can't believe they are "rare" Edited April 27, 2006 by Almost Rice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, yep, that was it! If that cart had a math coprocessor on it, it sure didn't show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tschibo00 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Ah well, let's see... My rarest game should be this: Savage pond, a game about being a tadpole and not getting eaten. Atarimania gives it a 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
